Darkroom for iOS adds sharing ability for filters and better color altering tool

Photo editing app Darkroom adds more tools under its belt with its latest update. Version 2 of the app adds the ability for users to share custom filters on Instagram. The app shares this in a unique way though. When you post a photo on Instagram with a filter from Darkroom, others can take a screenshot of the photo. There will be an on-image QR code showing up there and that filter will then be made available to them.

The app’s color tool now also lets you choose specific color profiles in your photo as well as adjust hue, saturation, and luminance for each. Darkroom also now lets you favorite and delete photos while you edit, the save function will let you overwrite your existing photo with edited one. You can also now transfer edits from one photo to another. If you want access to the color tool and filter sharing though, you’ll need to make an in-app purchase to “Pro Mode.” That’ll set you back US$3.99.

We showed it to various people while asking them to guess what the device was and nobody guessed that this was a full-featured pico projector. It is very easy to confuse this with a sleek smartphone charger or external battery.

Review: Motorola Moto G (3rd Gen)

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

New, improved and still the reigning pound-for-pound champion of the value smartphone segment, the new Moto G delights and impresses users with even more flagship-level features in an affordable and desirable package.

We've come a long way from the first Moto G, which was initially met with some degree of confusion. At that time, the more powerful Moto X (first gen) barely skirted mid-range features, but was being promoted as the next Motorola flagship. The Moto G, however, was clearly targetting the entry level while boldly proclaiming it could match the performance of the Samsung Galaxy S4.

WhatsApp for iOS now lets you backup video chats

WhatsApp on iOS gets a significant update with new features including the ability to back up your video chats. The app also gets a new look for cropping pictures and videos. It also now lets you share your location via Apple Maps. If you worry about the app using up more data than you think it should, you can also reduce data usage used when you make calls through the settings > chat and calls section.

WhatsApp also now lets you mute notifications for more active chats. You just need to swipe right to mark a chat as read or unread. You can even share contacts from the Contacts app as well. The features are rolling out to iOS now. There isn’t word yet if Android will be getting some of these new features.
