Polaroid Now+ launches with clip-on filters

Polaroid's Now+ analog camera gets a bit of smarts with Bluetooth and app support, along with five new lens filters you can clip on the camera. The filters include Starburst, Orange, Red Vignette, Blue, and Yellow colours, allowing you to play around with the saturation, contrast, and different effects of your shots. This upgrade to last year's Polaroid Now also comes with autofocus, dynamic flash, and self-timer functionality. If you want to take self-portraits, you can mount this on a tripod now, too.

On the software side, the Polaroid app gets a new streamlined design with features like aperture priority and tripod mode, light painting, double exposure, and manual. The Polaroid Now+ is available in a new Blue Gray colour along with the Black and White options. It retails for USD 149.99, and it's available exclusively on Polaroid's site.

Telegram's version 8.0 update brings new features, but drops Wear OS app

Telegram's latest update brings some new features, but it looks like it also got rid of a feature. The version 8.0 update doesn't include the Wear OS app. 9to5Google noted that the app has vanished from the Play Store on Wear OS. When you search for it, it no longer appears. But if you have the app already, it should stay put.

The update brings features like unlocking the limits on the size of a live stream's audience. You can now hide captions or the sender's name with messaging forwarding. Telegram will also now show trending stickers, and it improved sticker selection on the Android app. If you send emojis as a single message, these will be animated.
