Headline Pixel 6\/6 Pro feature \u2018Magic Eraser\u2019<\/a> is the cause behind crashes following a recent update to the Google Photos app.<\/p>\n

A new bug reported by Android Police <\/em><\/a>and spotted by users on Reddit<\/a> and Twitter<\/a> causes the Google Photos app to crash when launching the Magic Eraser tool. Specifically, the bug appears to impact Google Photos \u2018version 5.76.0.425427310\u2019 on Pixel 6 devices.<\/p>\n

I tried recreating the bug on my Pixel 6, which is running Photos version 5.75.0.424739917, but opening Magic Eraser didn\u2019t cause a crash. At the time of writing, the 5.76 version update wasn\u2019t available to my device.<\/p>\n

@googlephotos<\/a> has been crashing every time I try to use the “magic eraser” on my Pixel 6. Has it been the case for anyone else @madebygoogle<\/a> users?<\/p>\n

Android Police <\/em>notes that the typical quick fixes aren\u2019t working. For example, rebooting the phone, clearing the app\u2019s cache, and restoring the Photos app to factory settings all don\u2019t fix the problem. As it stands, it seems like once you\u2019ve updated the Photo app, you\u2019re stuck with the problem. If you\u2019re still on an older version of Google Photos, you may want to hold off on any updates until there\u2019s a fix.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time Google has had problems with the Pixel 6 and Magic Eraser. B<\/em>ack in November, a Google Photo update removed Magic Eraser from Pixel 6 devices, but the search giant quickly fixed the error<\/a>. Hopefully, there\u2019s a similar quick fix with this problem.<\/p>\n

Frustratingly for some, this is yet another bug in a rapidly-growing list of problems<\/a> with Google\u2019s latest flagship devices. Despite the numerous problems some have experienced with the phones, the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro also apparently helped set a quarterly sales record for Google<\/a>.<\/p>\n
