Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Google's new voice-controlled photo editing tool is rolling out across Android, but users in Texas and Illinois can't access it, likely due to strict state laws governing biometric data. Experts say features like Face Groups may require storing facial data longer than these laws allow. Google's past legal issues over biometrics add to the concern.
