The latest Google Pixel 9 series of phones have arrived with a new Add Me feature that uses on-device AI to add you to group photos efficiently. If you don't have a tripod or are too shy to ask a stranger to capture the photo, this can work wonders. To use the feature, head over to the native Pixel camera app -> tap on Add Me from the bottom panel -> capture a group photo without you in the frame and keep an empty space to fit yourself in -> have the second shot captured with just you in the frame filling that empty space. And, just like that, AI stitches the two pictures together to add you into those group photos.
