Published

on

We all know recently big tech brands and social media have taken a hammering for users’ privacy, and the biggest social platform are getting on board. Facebook are rolling out Vanish Mode on Messenger and Instagram which allows users to send a text that will automatically disappear.

Once a message has been seen by the receiver and they exit the thread, it will vanish. If you try to be sneaky and take a screenshot, the sender will be notified. We don’t even want to think about the drama this may cause…Not too sure if you completely trust the receiver? Both you and the mate you’re texting will have to have the mode on, and you can opt-out of Vanish Mode at any time.

This sly service is currently available in the US and will soon be rolled out in Europe so you can slide into DM”s at peace.

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE APPLE WATCH 4

Published

By

Apple have recently released the Apple Watch Series 4 with two bigger and better notable differences. At the heart of any watch design is the ability to tell the time, duh, and Jobs’ minions have made this even easier with making the watch face 30% bigger. Secondly, the speaker is now 50% louder and is relocated to the opposite side of the microphone to make phone calls clearer and reduce echo.

On the edge-to-edge screen you can find information like stocks and shares, heart rate, follow scores from sports teams, flight information, alongside the basic calendar and weather, which are so yesterday’s news compared to this.

Fancy a bike ride this weekend? Apple have increased the outdoor workout time to six hours, with full GPS tracking for it’s entirety to last your outdoor activities. Fall of your bike embarrassingly  and hope no one notices? You’re mistaken. The watch can now detect falls from analysing wrist trajectory and impact, awkward. Oh and if it detects no movement for 1 minute after said fall, it” automatically call and message your emergency contact using the SOS feature. We can’t tell if this is super clever or super annoying.

Apple’s clever creation is available in three aluminium finishes-silver, gold, and space grey. But, as if this isn’t enough, you can also flash it off in gold stainless steel with a Milanese band. These band’s can also work with any Apple predecessors, they’ve really thought of it all with this watch. No doubt in a year’s time they would’ve thought of more innovative designs that we’ll be shocked at, again.

Beauty bloggers have taken Youtube by a storm, playing a key role for makeup and beauty brands to advertise their products directly to an audience. From product reviews to hauls, viewers stay engaged, but there’s always that one question that slips through the mind: Will that look product good on me?

Thanks to AR, Google has created a way for viewers to virtually try on makeup while watching the tutorials and reviews. MAC Cosmetics were the first to launch the AR Beauty try on, through their lipstick campaign where viewers could try on the different lip shades on the bottom of the split screen.

As you can imagine, this largely benefits the beauty brands that implement the AR try-on considering viewers will pay more attention to the products. It was recorded by Google that 30% of users that activated the AR experience in the YouTube iOS app spent on average 80 seconds trying on the virtual lipstick. We’re looking forward to see what other AR and interactive media develops within YouTube.
