Google updates Motion Stills app on Android, brings new editing feature and delete option

Google brought its GIF camera app, Motion Stills, to Android back in July. The app just got its first simple update. There are two new buttons in the Edit screen. One is the loop button, which as its name suggests will let you loop clips back and forth. Another new button is the Delete button. Fairly straightforward too, as it just lets you delete past recordings. To do that before, you would need to swipe left on the main screen.

If you’re not familiar with the app, Motion Stills tries to set itself apart with the app’s ability to stabilize your videos while you’re recording and it can either record for a few seconds or with its fast-forward mode, speed up and stabilize longer clips.

Samsung tugs at our heartstrings with new Note8 ad

We associate the Note8 with being a good productivity tool. But this new Samsung ad suggests it can be used for more than that. The creative types, or those who just love to doodle, can actually use it to flirt. The newest ad for the Galaxy Note8 shows a couple getting together and falling in love with each other using the Live Messages feature on the phone to express how they feel. It’s a cute ad and it gets across how Samsung is trying to market the Note8 outside of the productivity seekers.

Apple highlights Apple Music streaming on Apple Watch Series 3 in new ad

A new ad for Apple Watch Series 3 brings forward the LTE capabilities of the new smartwatch. The focus is specifically on how you can stream Apple Music right from the wearable without having it connected to an iPhone. The video shows a skateboarder listening to music and performing tricks.

To get this feature to work you’ll need an Apple Music subscription, an iPhone 6 or later, the same service provider for the Watch and iPhone, and wireless service plan. Apple hasn’t said yet how battery life will be affected with streaming music over LTE. But what we know now is it’ll take an hour to drain the Apple Watch’s battery when you use it to call over LTE. According to Apple, the Apple Music streaming feature is coming to Watch Series 3 soon.
