Google has also upgraded its Imagen 3 capabilities. “We’ve upgraded our creative image generation capabilities, and over the coming days, we’re bringing our latest image generation model, Imagen 3, to Gemini Apps and expanding its availability for users in all languages,” it said.

Google added, “We don’t support the generation of photorealistic, identifiable individuals, depictions of minors or excessively gory, violent or sexual scenes.
