TikTok is rolling out new features allowing users aged 16 and older to send voice memos and share images via direct messages, with limitations on message length and number of images, aiming to enhance social interaction on the platform.
TikTok is introducing new direct message features allowing users to send voice notes up to 60 seconds and share multiple images or videos, aligning its messaging capabilities with other social platforms and enhancing user interaction beyond just sharing videos.
Google Photos is replacing its custom share sheet implementation with a native one on Android 14. The new share sheet allows users to select multiple images, preview and edit them using the Markup tool, and access various Google Photos actions such as creating links, sending in photos, and adding to albums. The update is currently rolling out on Pixel phones running Android 14.
Social networking apps like Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and new platforms are incorporating artificial intelligence (A.I.) into their image capabilities to bring back the fun and interactivity of creating and sharing images. By using A.I. imagery, these apps aim to rejuvenate the social aspect of their platforms and encourage meaningful connections among users. Features such as A.I. selfies, image transformation filters, and A.I.-generated stickers are being introduced to make social media more engaging and whimsical. The integration of A.I. into image-sharing apps is seen as the future of social media, allowing users to interact with each other and create personalized content.
