Moments by Facebook – Update creates music videos from photos #Facebook #Moments #Apps

Update – Now automatically creates music videos from your photos. 25/08/15

Facebook have just announced a new standalone app called Moments by creative labs which debuts in the US for now and its available on Android and iOS,its set to roll out to more regions over the coming weeks,the app basically helps you sync pictures with friends should you have missed the chance to take a snap yourself,explained below on their blog post.

Syncing photos with the Moments app is a private way to give photos to friends and get the photos you didn’t take. Moments groups the photos on your phone based on when they were taken and, using facial recognition technology, which friends are in them. You can then privately sync those photos quickly and easily with specific friends, and they can choose to sync their photos with you as well. Now, you and your friends have all the photos you took together.

Moments also keeps all of your synced photos organized and even lets you search them to find the ones that you or specific friends are in.

Moments uses facial recognition technology to group your photos based on the friends who are in them. This is the same technology that powers tag suggestions on Facebook. You can control tag suggestions in your Settings.

Download Moments from the App Store or Google Play.

Twitter – Yes its removing the 140 character limit from Direct Messages. #Twitter #DM #SocialMedia

I have heard the term so many time before that 140 characters is not enough and off we go to another platform to have a waffle,well now that s no longer an issue as Twitter is removing the 140 character limit on Direct Messages,Twitter has been busy of late… So now you can say more and keep it in private too starting in July. Good…

On their dev blog they say.

“We’ve done a lot to improve Direct Messages over the past year and have much more exciting work on the horizon. One change coming in July that we want to make you aware of now (and first!) is the removal of the 140 character limit in Direct Messages. In order to make this change as seamless as possible for you we’ve included some recommendations below to ensure all your applications and services can handle these longer format messages before we flip the switch.”

We recommend taking the following actions in preparation:

  1. Review the new API additions below.
  2. Update your GET requests so you will be able to receive the full length of DM text.
  3. Adjust your app UI to accommodate longer DM text.

You may be wondering what this means for the public side of Twitter. Nothing! Tweets will continue to be the 140 characters they are today.

The app i hate most has got a new feature for iOS. Snapchat as been around some time now and is mostly popular with kids and teenagers on Android and iOS.Windows phone users might see the app in 2020 as they continuously send law suits to those who make third party apps,they do not see the platform as a viable one and have recently said they might bring it to Windows,that will be the day you see pigs flying outside your window is how many see it..

 

Anyhow they have now updated the app so that you can chose between front or rear camera on you iphone,so iPhone users can only for now enjoy the new feature ,it probably will not be long before we see this option on Android and go know when that will happen on Windows

What’s New in Version 9.9.0

* Double tap the screen while recording a Snap to switch between the selfie and rear-facing cameras!
* Login Verification — when you log in to Snapchat on a new device, we can send you a SMS code to make sure it’s you! Turn on this feature in Settings.
