The company is also launching a new photo editor with the ability to modify images through natural language posts. Both features are powered by xAI&#8217;s Grok models. The company is pushing to make the in-app experience better for users with these updates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Late Tuesday, X&#8217;s head of product Nikita Bier <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nikitabier\/status\/2041335306331549699\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">announced<\/a> that automatic translation is rolling out worldwide.

Reddit has been experimenting <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2024\/09\/25\/reddit-is-bringing-ai-powered-automatic-translation-to-dozens-of-new-countries\/\">with<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2023\/09\/08\/reddit-users-on-mobile-can-now-translate-posts-into-other-languages\/\">machine translation<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/04\/28\/reddit-now-supports-translation-of-posts-and-comments-into-hindi\/\">for the last few years<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The social platform is also rolling out <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/nikitabier\/status\/2041594683072413883?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">a new image editor to its iOS app<\/a>. The update includes features like drawing and text tools. Plus, there is a blur tool that lets you hide certain details, such as faces or sensitive information, such as credit card or Social Security numbers, from an image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"359\" width=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-08-at-4.48.59-PM.jpg?w=680\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3110386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-08-at-4.48.59-PM.jpg 978w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-08-at-4.48.59-PM.jpg?resize=150,79 150w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-08-at-4.48.59-PM.jpg?resize=300,158 300w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-08-at-4.48.59-PM.jpg?resize=768,405 768w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-08-at-4.48.59-PM.jpg?resize=680,359 680w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-08-at-4.48.59-PM.jpg?resize=430,227 430w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-08-at-4.48.59-PM.jpg?resize=720,380 720w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-08-at-4.48.59-PM.jpg?resize=900,475 900w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-08-at-4.48.59-PM.jpg?resize=800,422 800w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-08-at-4.48.59-PM.jpg?resize=668,352 668w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-08-at-4.48.59-PM.jpg?resize=708,374 708w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-08-at-4.48.59-PM.jpg?resize=50,26 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"wp-block-image__credits\"><strong>Image Credits:<\/strong>TechCrunch (screenshot)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What&#8217;s more, the company is also enabling users to ask Grok to edit an image with a natural language prompt. For instance, you can ask &#8220;display this photo as a painting in a museum,&#8221; and Grok will generate that picture for you. The company said that it plans to bring these updates to the Android app soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this year, Elon Musk was heavily criticized by <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/01\/08\/governments-grapple-with-the-flood-of-non-consensual-nudity-on-x\/\">authorities around the world<\/a> for allowing users to edit someone else&#8217;s images into a sexualized version without their consent. The company then restricted <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/01\/09\/x-restricts-groks-image-generation-to-paying-subscribers-only-after-drawing-the-worlds-ire\/\">the image-generation feature to only paying users<\/a>. It is not clear if X&#8217;s new AI-powered image-editing feature will be limited to paid users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Multiple companies, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/10\/28\/adobe-launches-ai-assistants-for-express-and-photoshop\/\">Google<\/a> and <a
