Google introduced the Pixel 9 series last month, nearly two months ahead of the company’s usual October launch schedule. Despite an early launch, the Pixel 9 is now more of a flagship than ever and continues to give high-end phones a run for their money. Much of its premium features, similar to the iPhone’s Apple Intelligence, focus on AI and the utilities it brings. One of the key aspects of its AI photography is Add Me, which can now be replicated on an iPhone or any other phone.
How to use Pixel 9 Pro’s ‘Add Me’ feature on iPhone or any other phone
Smartphones have given users the option to capture panoramic photos for a while now, and needless to say, the feature can offer more than advertised. Panorama photos don’t require AI, but they do rely on a steady hand, and this aspect could be used as a workaround to mimic the Pixel 9’s Add Me feature on any other phone, including the iPhone.
The process is pretty straightforward and requires the help of the stock camera app or any other app that can capture panoramic photos. If you’re not familiar with the Pixel 9’s Add Me feature, it basically requires AI help to fit all users into a single frame, even the person who captured the photo. All you have to do is take the photo and ask someone else to take the same photo with you. Google’s AI algorithms will then stitch the two images together so that no one is left behind in the photo. You can check it out more details on the Google Add Me page camera feature.
If you want to mimic the same feature on your iPhone or any other Android phone that doesn’t have Google Add Me feature, then follow the below instructions carefully.
Step 1: Start the camera application on your iPhone or any other phone,
Step 2: Select the Panorama mode,
Step 3: Now position a user or group in the viewfinder and take the photo, but remember to leave some space on the side.
Step 4:After taking the photo or starting the panoramic photo, simply keep your hand steady in the same position and ask one of the people on each side to continue with the panoramic photo.
Step 5: Take your stand next to the person or group on the display.
Step 6:The person holding the camera should now continue the panoramic photo with you in this.
Step 7: The panoramic photo doesn’t need to go very far, as you can finish the photo as soon as everyone has been captured.
The process is pretty straightforward, allowing everyone to be part of the same photo. The best thing about this workaround is that it mimics the Pixel 9’s Add Me feature, but without any AI. You can experiment with the technique for better placement and results. You don’t have to spend a thousand dollars to get the same feature as Google’s iteration, but you should note that Google’s photos can be much clearer and better stitched.
