How to have the magic eraser of the Pixel 6 in other Google Pixels

One of the most striking features of the new Google phones loses its exclusivity thanks to the installation of a simple APK: the magic eraser of the Google Pixel 6 works perfectly on other Google Pixels. We have compared it and the results are the same, also the processing time is similar.

With each batch of phones, brands try to differentiate them by adding new features. Whether hardware or design; without forgetting the software, there is always some new app, or exclusive feature, that aims to make a difference. And Google is no stranger to this strategy, that its Pixels offer certain Android features that are not in other phones. As with the magic eraser of Google Photos; Even though it has lost the exclusivity of the Pixel 6.

Same result as in the Google Pixel 6

We are currently analyzing the Google Pixel 6, the famous magic eraser was one of the options we tried first. It is a tool included in the app Google Photos that It appears only in a specific version, the one for the aforementioned Pixel 6. And the funny thing is that Google has not blocked the draft to that device model: if the APK is installed, and you have a Pixel, the tool appears the same.
