Google Photos' Android app lets you draw, add text on photos

Maybe you wanted to draw on your images as you would on apps like Instagram and Snapchat. Well, now, Google Photos will let you do that exactly. But it's only available on Android, and no sticker GIFs, unfortunately. The new editing tools will let you draw, highlight, and add text to your photos. All you need to do is select the photo you want to edit, select the Edit option, and then pick Markup. These features are available on Google Photos version 4.32.1.

Leaked Samsung Galaxy S11+ renders show phone design, big camera array

If the leaked renders of the Samsung Galaxy S11+ is accurate, then we're getting a large, almost domino-like camera setup at the back of the phone. Steve Hemmerstoffer (@OnLeaks) shared the renders of Samsung's upcoming flagship, and what immediately catches our eye is the big, black camera array at the top left of the device. It reminds us of the Pixel 4, but just stretched to look more like a domino piece. 

The phone is expected to have a five-camera setup, but details on these are scarce. Rumour has it the Galaxy S11+ will feature a 5x optical zoom with a 108-megapixel primary sensor. It's expected to get telephoto, ultra-wide, and time-of-flight lenses, too.

Tile Smart Alerts will let you know if you've left an object behind

Tile's Bluetooth trackers are designed to help you locate lost products. But the company looks to expand that feature further by reintroducing "Smart Alerts." Currently in beta, Smart Alerts will automatically let you know when you've left behind an item with a tracker for five minutes. You can set "safe zones," so it doesn't alert you when, for example, you leave your purse with the Tile tracker at home.

You will, however, need to pay to get the feature. Smart Alerts beta requires the $34.99 a year subscription fee. But if you're forgetful enough, this expense might be worth it. Tile will be pushing out the beta in December.

Customize your Bitmoji's avatar with the new 'Mix and Match' feature

It's now easier to customize your Bitmoji to a look that you want with the app's new Mix and Match feature. You can now select each piece of clothing with different styles and colours for tops, bottoms, footwear, outerwear, and even socks. If you find an outfit you like, you can save it to your closet to wear again. You will need the latest version of the app to get the feature. It's also available through Snapchat.

Once you download or update the app, you can access Mix and Match by tapping on the fashion icon to open the Avatar Designer. The bottom navigation will show new icons for each clothing item. On Snapchat, the feature is accessible through your profile. Head to the Bitmoji option and select Change Outfit. The app is available on both iOS and Android.
