GOOGLE LENS AMAZING FEATURES

By


As part of the latest update, Google Lens is going to be built into 10 different Android devices’ native cameras, including Google Pixel 2 and LG 7 ThinQ devices, so you don’t have to open a separate app. There will also be a real-time finder that will analyze what your camera sees even before you press click. If you point your camera at a poster of a musician, Lens can also start playing a music video.

You open up any camera app, and Google Lens will tell you what’s in the image. The image recognition tool can give users more information about things like books, buildings, and works of art. How it works is that you take a photo, and the tool will process the pixels through machine learning to provide more details and also provide relevant search tags.


Google has more of an eye on retail with this new update to Lens: instead of just identifying clothes, it will also provide you with shopping links on occasion, if it recognizes the brand or style. Lens can also recognize words now, so you can copy and paste from the real world into your phone, which is a similar functionality that Google Translate Image already has.

There’s also a crossover between Google Lens and Maps this time around, which will add AR to Street View and help you navigate in real time.

BILL GATE SETTLES FOR THE ANDROID PHONE

By
Windows Phone has been  dead for a good year now , and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has decided it’s also time to move on. In an interview with  Fox News Sunday  ( spotted by  On MSFT ), Gates reveals he’s now using an Android phone. While Gates doesn’t reveal the exact model, he does note that it has “a lot of Microsoft software” on it, which could suggest it’s a special  Microsoft Edition Samsung Galaxy S8 handset  with bundled software. Microsoft started selling the Samsung Galaxy S8 handset in its retail stores earlier this year, and it includes apps like Office, OneDrive, Cortana, and Outlook. Any Android phone also supports these apps, but Microsoft’s customized S8 does suggest the company might continue to offer this for other Android devices in the future. While Gates is switching to Android, he’s still not interested in an iPhone. Gates famously banned iPhones and iPods at home in the past, but h...

TWITTER HAS AN UNLAUNCHED ENCRYPTED MESSAGE FEATURE

By
Buried inside Twitter’s   Android app is a “Secret conversation” option that if launched would allow users to send encrypted direct messages. The feature could make Twitter a better a home for sensitive communications that often end up on encrypted messaging apps like Signal, Telegram, or WhatsApp. The encyrpted DMs option was first spotted inside the Twitter for Android application package (APK) by Jane Manchun Wong. APKs often contain code for unlaunched features that companies are quietly testing or will soon make available. A Twitter spokesperson declined to comment on the record. It’s unclear how long it might be before Twitter officially launches the feature, but at least we know it’s been built. The appearance of encrypted DMs comes 18 months after whistleblower Edward Snowden asked Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey for the feature, which Dorsey said was “reasonable and something we’ll think about”. Twitter has gone from “thinking about” the feature to prototyping it...
