Whatsapp adds Snapchat-like camera features
In a bid to take on Snapchat, Facebook is leaving no stone unturned. In a latest, WhatsApp has introduced new stickers in its camera features that have originally been used by Snapchat.
With the new camera features, users write or draw on photos and videos, as well as add emoji to express themselves. When a new photo or video is captured or shared like ones that are already on a user’s phone, they will automatically see the new editing tools. The WhatsApp camera feature further supports the front-facing flash and added a zooming feature for recording videos.
These new camera features were rolled out on Android phones yesterday and are expected on iPhone soon.
Pixel May Not Be An iPhone Killer, But Here’s Why Google’s New Smartphone Matters
Google first introduced smartphones of its own design nearly seven years ago, and hardly anyone has bought one. On Tuesday, it unveiled a revamped lineup, branded with Google's Pixel name.
The company's Android software already runs the vast majority of smartphones sold in the world, but Google wants to hedge its bets by having control over every feature and function in a selection of Android phones.
Google's aims only can pan out if it sells a large number of Pixel phones -- which it won't. And its strategic goal isn't a good enough reason for Google-branded smartphones to exist at all.
So why do it?

Here Are The New Data Packs Vodafone, Airtel And Others Are Offering After Reliance Jio
Reliance Jio has sure raised the bar in the telecom industry when it comes to customer friendly pricing of internet packs with its tremendously low-priced 4G data packs. In fact, the massive customer response the newly launched Jio has generated has pushed competitors such as Vodafone and Airtel to roll out their own data packs at lower prices.
In fact, the Jio effect has been a quite significant one. Launched at a time when 3G/4G data pack rates were at an all time high, Reliance Jio offered 1 GB internet at Rs 50 as opposed to the Rs. 250 rate for 1GB data earlier.
iPhone 7: price, pictures and key features of Apple's new iPhone
Apple has unveiled its long-awaited iPhone 7, featuring waterproofing, a dual-lens camera and wireless AirPod headphones
Apple has finally unveiled its long-awaited iPhone 7, and almost all of the rumours and leaks ahead of the launch have turned out to be true.
The new device is indeed waterproof, and the larger model comes with an impressive dual-lens camera capable of of all kinds of photographic wizardry.
Controversially, Apple has removed the headphone socket from the bottom of the device, meaning you may have to rethink your headphone choices.
Apple has also ditched the 16GB and 64GB models, and introduced a new 256GB model - which has the same amount of storage as Apple's top-of-the-range iPad Pro.
Here's everything you need to know about Apple's new iPhone 7:

Got Jio SIM? Here is how to use it in best possible way
Everybody is getting a free Jio SIM. Many have already got it, and those who haven't are probably queued up somewhere in front of a Reliance store. After all, it's a free SIM and even when people are not exactly ready to give up their older number, they see no harm in getting a Jio SIM and try it out. Well, we agree with the sentiment.
Reliance Jio SIM ground report: 1 SIM for 8 people and a wait of 50 days

Instagram Is Finally Letting You Zoom In on Videos and Photos—Here’s How to Do It
It's been a big year for Instagram. In the last twelve months, the photo-sharing service began supporting horizontal and vertical photos, debuted a bold new logo, and introduced the Instagram Stories tool that allows users to post content that disappear within 24 hours (and also is basically an exact replica of Snapchat Stories). And now, Instagram is debuting yet another feature—one that users have always wanted: Zooming in on photos and videos.
Google is working on a new operating system named Fuchsia
Here's a puzzle: Google appears to have started work on a completely new operating system, but no one knows quite what it's for. The project's name is Fuchsia, and it currently exists as a growing pile of code on the search giant's code depository and on GitHub, too. The fledgling OS has a number of interesting features, but so far Google has yet to comment on its intended function. All we really know is that this looks like a fresh start for Google, as the operating system does not use the Linux kernel — a core of basic code that underpins both Android and Chrome OS.

We miss all the pokéball throws we don’t take. Sometimes we miss the ones we make, too. A man named Jon Cleaver knows this, so he created a case for the iPhone 6 that includes a pokéball aimer. We might never miss a Gyarados again, or even a Pidgey.
Cleaver put his plans for the pokéball case online. You can 3D print it yourself. We tried it out on Facebook, only to discover that our 3D printer wasn’t big enough for the job. Oh well!

Google has announced that the next version of Android, codenamed “N”, will be called Nougat, bitterly dividing opinion among its fans.
Nougat, which has been in developer and early-adopter preview for the last few months since being announced at Google’s I/O developer conference in May, will be the 14th distinct iteration of Android, labeled Android 7.0.
Google announced Android 7 simply as “N” and put out a call for suggestions of names starting with N. Most previous versions of Android have come with a confectionary or sweet-based code name.
The Android Nougat, although similar to the Android Marshmallow in terms of user interface, comes with several new features. It adds support for multi-window mode as well as has more dynamic notification system.
Nougat, for those who haven’t had the pleasure, is a chewy sugar or honey-based whipped egg-white sweet that often contains nuts. It isthe main body of a Snickers bar, previously known as a Marathon.
Opinion on whether Nougat is tasty is also divided. Either way, new Android 7 Nougat should start making its way on to devices from September, and features upgraded battery-saving Doze features, more advanced split-screen multitasking and improved notifications.
Although, if Marshmallow’s adoption rate is a predictor, having only just passed 10% of Android devices out there after nine months on the market, it could take over a year to become common, even for new smartphones and tablets.
