Instagram restores GIF stickers from GIPHY

<img alt="" src="http://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Instagram-Stories-GIF-Stickers.jpg" /> Earlier this month, Instagram and Snapchat removed the GIPHY integration over racial slur GIF that was spotted by users. However, Instagram has now restored the GIF stickers from GIPHY as it confirmed it has reviewed its GIF library four times and will preemptively review any new GIFs it adds.  This is the risk that most platforms face when they work with third-party developers to bring outside and crowdsourced content into their apps. Though both the companies immediately responded and took down the GIF in question, it raises the question of quality, safety, and content filtering. GIPHY said that it re-moderated its entire sticker library 4x and has also added another level of GIPHY moderation before each sticker is approved by the library.  The company is now making this moderation permanent. However, Snapchat, on the other hand, said that it didn't have anything to add at this moment and didn't mention whether it’s going to reactivate GIPHY. An Instagram spokesperson in a statement has said: We’ve been in close contact with GIPHY throughout this process and we’re confident that they have put measures in place to ensure that Instagram users have a good experience. GIPHY commenting on the same said: To anyone who was affected; we’re sorry. We take full responsibility for this recent ... <div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=Rc-lS3GpIDo:gNt4zHNWyuw: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=Rc-lS3GpIDo:gNt4zHNWyuw:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=Rc-lS3GpIDo:gNt4zHNWyuw:V_sGLiPBpWU" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=Rc-lS3GpIDo:gNt4zHNWyuw:D7DqB2pKExk"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=Rc-lS3GpIDo:gNt4zHNWyuw:D7DqB2pKExk" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=Rc-lS3GpIDo:gNt4zHNWyuw: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/Rc-lS3GpIDo" width="1" /><br /> <a href="http://www.fonearena.com/blog/248131/instagram-restores-giphy-stickers.html">Read Here»</a>

Today's additions are centered around superheroes and supervillains in male/female versions and multiple skin tones. However, these are not live in the app just yet, even in Android P, but digging a bit deep into the app revealed the names. Gboard 6.8 added a handwriting keyboard. As you scribble, the keyboard scrolls to provide users with more space to input text. Now with the upcoming “Handwriting settings” it might allow users to set the speed of that scrolling and also the ability to set the thickness of strokes. The latest beta update is also adding support for the next major Android release. Long press on the period to reveal and enter common top-level domains like .com, .org, .net, .edu, and .gov is the option that always been the same. However, it now seems to be changing a bit.
