It released Spectacles lineup of smart glasses in 2016 and has also seen several iterations since then include an AR-based pair that is yet to be released. The newest product from Snapchat is Pixy which is a small yellow drone that is meant to be a flying camera. Pixy is not a big piece of plastic like other drones especially drones from DJI. It is a small device with four tiny propellers. It fits into your palm and weighs 101 grams. It has not got any controller or SD clot. It has got a camera dial which will allow you to set how the drone will fly, while the photos and recordings will be saved into your memories of Snapchat app.
It has got pre-configured flight paths which include a floating mode which is an option to orbit around you. It has also got an option to follow you as you walk or run. Whenever you want to stop the recording all you need to do is to place your hand beneath the drone and it will land in your palm. When it comes to battery, you can have five to eight flights before the battery is depleted. Pixy is not a replacement of a proper drone, but if you need to upload videos from different perspective to your social media account then it is a great alternative. It has also got a strap in order to take it around you wherever you go. It costs $230 and you can also add a portable battery charger for an extra $20.

There are loads of social networks as well as chat services in the market which support polls like Facebook, Twitter and Telegram. WhatsApp is a very notable exception and also quite a weird one if you think about it as it is termed as the standard messenger in many countries. Now it looks like WhatsApp is working on adding polls in the group chats.
A recent WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.22.10.11 has added the underlying code that will enable the polls. According to WABetaInfo you will be able to create question with up to 12 possible answers in extra screen within the app. Earlier it was reported that only group members would be able to see as well as interact with the poll which makes sense. Meta has everything in place on Android , desktop and iOS version, it will likely not too long until polls launch.

Samsung Galaxy Watch4 is considered as the best Android smartwatch and it is getting better day by day. Google Assistant support is confirmed to be arriving for Galaxy Watch4 very soon.

For creating a respectful environment, Google hid the YouTube dislike counts for the viewers. It was a controversial move and Google is turning its attention to the ‘like’ button next. Now because you are neither losing the ability to provide the videos a like, nor see how many other viewers agree. Instead of tapping the ‘like’ button has now picked up a cheerful animation in order to make liking a video that is much more exciting.
The new animation is available on YouTube app for Android as well as on iOS and it was spotted a month ago. The button is a subject to many color changes while expelling loads of colorful streamers and confetti before moving back to static black. While the animation is not as disruptive as the removal of the dislike counts but it is certainly very eye catchy one. On the other hand the animation for tapping the ‘dislike’ button has not been changed.

Google Photos and Google Lens are the most powerful companies for the camera of your phone. The Photos app has offered integration with Lens in order to handle the text inside the images that you take and for the screenshots. It may not be completely accurate but it works fine.
We have seen that Google Photos demonstrate the capability to recognize the text present in the images and direct users towards interacting with in in Lens. If you have received the update you will find a chip with the option to search inside screenshot for captures with loads of text. However additional chips with Copy text, Crop, Listen and Markup options don’t seem to be available widely. These are the existing options within the app, the addition of these new shortcuts seems intended to make them more visible and easier to access. There is a shortcut to search by using Google Lens which is needless given you already have got a Lens button at the bottom bar. At the moment we have got the option to search within the screenshots but not others.
