- Google Photos is expected to roll out a long-awaited and surprisingly missing “Mosaic” tool.
- Analysis of the APK file from the Android version of the “Google Photos” app v7.89.0.968035987, released on August 24, 2026, confirmed the addition of resource code related to a “Mosaic” tool (codename: enchilada).
- It will be placed as a “Fill” tool within the “Markup” feature.
It appears that the online photo library service “Google Photos” is about to introduce a photo editing tool that feels surprisingly overdue, yet is eagerly anticipated in its own right.
That new photo editing tool in “Google Photos” is the “Mosaic” tool, which will finally allow users to add mosaics to any desired part of a photo.

As a result of analyzing the app files from the Android version of the “Google Photos” app v7.89.0.968035987, released on Monday, August 24, 2026, we confirmed that resource code related to a “Mosaic” tool (codename: enchilada) has been added. This “Mosaic” tool in “Google Photos” is scheduled to be rolled out as part of the “Markup” toolset, allowing users to choose from three options: “Blur,” “Mosaic,” and “Mosaic light.”
<string name="photos_photoeditor_enchilada_effects_markup_redact_blur">Blur</string>
<string name="photos_photoeditor_enchilada_effects_markup_redact_mosaic">Mosaic</string>
<string name="photos_photoeditor_enchilada_effects_markup_redact_mosaic_light">Mosaic light</string>Additionally, searching within the “Edit” tools of the Android version of the “Google Photos” app brings up a new menu item called “Fill,” though tapping it currently causes the app to crash. This suggests that the “Mosaic” tool will likely be positioned as a “Fill” tool within the “Markup” options.
