Facebook Messenger will now automatically translate Spanish messages to English

<img alt="" src="http://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Facebook-Messenger-1024x635.jpeg" /> Facebook Messenger can now translate Spanish messages to English (and vice versa). Facebook debuted the feature called M's translation suggestions at F8 in May, but that was Facebook's new tools for businesses and used to only work for chats between buyers and sellers in Marketplace. Starting today, you will see "Translate to English/Spanish" module pop up when someone messages you in either language.  The first time you tap on the module, M will ask if you'd like to auto-translate all the messages you receive from friends in the future. Meaning that it will be an opt-in for the auto-translation for every conversation, but you can also opt out anytime. However, the feature is pretty limited, Facebook also said that it would expand its capabilities so that it can also translate other languages and will also roll out in other countries. This feature will eliminate the need for switching between Messenger and translator app to know the actual meaning of the message received.

Google Photos v3.23 hints at adjustable bokeh effect, lower saved photo quality, and more

<img alt="" src="http://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Google-Photos-e1517380077601.jpg" /> Google is rolling out a new update to the Photos app which brings the version to V3.23 and there are no immediate changes right off the bat, but there are many features lying behind the screen one among which is the ability to apply smooth bokeh effects of portrait mode, and we can even control the intensity of the blur. It also includes a new option to downgrade your already backed-up photos to high quality so you can get back some of that cloud storage. The custom adjustments for portrait mode lets users control how much defocus is applied to the background. There will be two sliders; one for setting the blur intensity and one for defining how shallow the depth of field will be. However, it is unclear if the feature will be applicable to regular shots after they were taken. Google Photos offers unlimited photo storage, however, once you reach the point of filling the storage, Google suggests you buy more, but that's about to change. Google is adding a feature to Photos that will make it possible to downgrade images from original to high quality, so you can now reclaim the storage space. Google at the I/O 2018 announced AI-based color pop suggestions that will automatically ... <div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=ZYbCugwtszg:85MNwVrKF2k:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=ZYbCugwtszg:85MNwVrKF2k:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=ZYbCugwtszg:85MNwVrKF2k:V_sGLiPBpWU" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=ZYbCugwtszg:85MNwVrKF2k:D7DqB2pKExk"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=ZYbCugwtszg:85MNwVrKF2k:D7DqB2pKExk" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=ZYbCugwtszg:85MNwVrKF2k:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" /></a></div> <img alt="" height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/fone-arena/~4/ZYbCugwtszg" width="1" /><br /> <a href="http://www.fonearena.com/blog/256627/google-photos-3-23-adjustable-bokeh-effect-lower-saved-photo-quality.html">Read Here»</a>
