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\u2019s Grok models. The company is pushing to make the in-app experience better for users with these updates. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Late Tuesday, X\u2019s 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.

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<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"359\" width=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-08-at-4.48.59-PM.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3110386\"  \/>Image Credits:TechCrunch (screenshot)<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s more, the company is also enabling users to ask Grok to edit an image with a natural language prompt. For instance, you can ask \u201cdisplay this photo as a painting in a museum,\u201d and Grok will generate that picture for you.
