Google restricts access to four AI features on Android phones

Several Google features on Android phones are now behind a paywall, requiring subscriptions to access their full capabilities. Features like audio generation in Google Docs, advanced Magic Editor functions in Google Photos, AI-powered file organization in Google Drive, and Gemini Brief require a Google AI Plus subscription, starting at $4.99 per month. These AI-enhanced tools, previously perceived as free, are now part of Google's subscription model, impacting users who rely on them for productivity and creative tasks.
