If you’re over Snapchat because of the countless redesigns and re-redesigns but Instagram’s filters don’t tickle your fancy, there’s a Korean app called Snow that takes all of the beloved features and combines them into a super cute camera app. Snow has been around for a while, but the latest update gives it even more features, including its own take on Apple’s adorable Animoji, real-time beauty effects, and a new mirror mode.

The new AR emoji feature lets you overlay your face with animated characters, including a puppy dog and an old man. Once selected, the camera detects your face, masks it with the sticker, and mimics your expressions. The major difference between this and Animoji is that you can still (kind of) see your body. While the feature is cool, it doesn’t work quite as well or as smoothly as the iPhone X’s Animoji. When I blinked, the app registered that as me winking instead, and there was a lag between when I opened my mouth and when the app followed the motion. The other qualm I had was that the overlay is huge compared to the size of my actual head.

I also used a cartoon pig over my face, but the movements were again muted and laggy. I have an iPhone 6 Plus (an ancient phone, in other words), which doesn’t have Animoji, so this app is nifty. It’s also available on Android, so even more people can try it out.

From the camera screen, you also have options to toggle through several beauty filters and countless downloadable AR effects that do everything from adding bunny ears to sparkle effects (like the popular KiraKira app) to overlaying your photos with moving macarons. There are a lot of options to choose from, and that forms the strength of the app — it allows you to be creative, but it still maintains its cute aesthetic.

There are plenty of filters to apply to your photos, both in real time and in post-processing.

There’s also a music video option and Boomerang, like the Instagram version, which creates short, looping videos. Snow is a cool alternative if you want something a little different, and the large variety of filters and AR effects means you won’t get too bored when jazzing up your photos. The app has added plenty of new features over the past few years, and it’s well worth revisiting if you haven’t used it in a while. Snow is available now on iOS and Android.

Two more men have been charged over a swatting incident last year that led to the fatal shooting of a Kansas man. The death of 28-year-old Andrew Finch in Kansas is believed to be the first confirmed death related to swatting. Swatting is the practice of calling in a SWAT team to a house by fraudulently reporting a serious crime like a murder or hostage situation at that address, which usually results in an aggressive response from law enforcement authorities. According to a federal indictment that was unsealed earlier this week, 18-year-old Casey Viner and 19-year-old Shane Gaskill have also been charged over the incident.

Another man, Tyler Barris, 25, has already been charged at the state level with felony involuntary manslaughter and two additional counts. The hoax calls were made to Wichita police on December 28th, 2017.

Viner and Gaskill face federal charges of wire fraud and obstruction of justice. Viner also faces an additional charge of conspiracy to make false / hoax reports. Barris faces additional federal charges, including making false / hoax reports to emergency services, cyberstalking, making interstate threats, making interstate threats to harm by fire, and wire fraud.

The indictment alleges that Viner in Ohio and Gaskill in Wichita, Kansas, were playing Call of Duty online as a team when they got into an argument. Viner then asked Barriss to “swat” Gaskill, but the address he gave was an old one where Gaskill no longer lived. Barriss disguised his number and made a series of calls to Wichita police and 911 emergency. In these calls, he claimed he had shot and killed his father and was holding his mother and little brother hostage. Wichita police then responded to the situation whereby Finch was fatally shot. The indictment alleges that after Finch was shot, the defendants realized what had happened and purged the messages sent to each other. If the three men are convicted, they face penalties of up to $250,000 per charge and between five years to life in jail.

Earlier this week, prosecutors indicted Barris for another incident where he allegedly called in a bomb threat during the FCC’s net neutrality vote in December.

Microsoft has announced it will extend its data privacy tools to individual users of the company’s products and services worldwide. Microsoft’s Data Subject Rights include the right to know about the data the company collects on you and the ability to correct the data, delete it, or move the data elsewhere. Microsoft’s privacy dashboard will help its customers manage their data. The announcement mirrors action taken by other technology companies in preparation for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which goes into effect on May 25th. The GDPR sets new rules for how companies manage and share personal data.

In a blog post that calls privacy “a fundamental human right,” Microsoft says it’s had more than 1,600 of its engineers working on GDPR projects. It has also made investments to redesign its tools and systems to comply with the new rules. Microsoft notes that it will use customer feedback to improve the privacy tools.

“We believe privacy is a fundamental human right. As people live more of their lives online and depend more on technology to operate their businesses, engage with friends and family, pursue opportunities, and manage their health and finances, the protection of this right is becoming more important than ever.”

“Privacy is also the foundation for trust. We know that people will only use technology that they trust. Ultimately, trust is created when people are confident that their personal data is safe and they have a clear understanding of how and why it is used. This means companies like ours have a huge responsibility to safeguard the privacy of the personal data we collect and the data we manage for our commercial customers.”

Microsoft has also updated its privacy statement that governs consumers, making it easier to read and inclusive of specific information related to GDPR. Additions to the statement include highlighting new categories surrounding personal data the company collects like voice data, content consumption data, and browsing history. The updated privacy statement also clarifies how Microsoft uses personal data generally and describes how customers can access and control their data.

Previously, Facebook has said it will roll out privacy tools globally, while Apple has introduced a feature that allows anyone to download all the information the company has on them. The EU has previously expressed concern over Microsoft’s privacy settings in Windows 10. Microsoft released a new data collection viewer tool as part of the recent Windows 10 April 2018 Update to help dispel those worries.

Amazon Map Tracker, a feature the company quietly introduced last month, has started expanding to more users in the US, as noted by Android Police and confirmed by CNET. The feature gives you a real-time map of your Amazon package delivery as it’s in transit, letting you watch a dot on the screen similar to monitoring an incoming Uber or Lyft driver. It was given a soft launch last year.

The feature is great for anyone who obsesses over the exact moment an Amazon delivery is slated to arrive. It’s also handy because it allows you to pop out for an errand by showing how many stops or deliveries the driver will make before reaching you.

“The Amazon Map Tracking feature is another delivery innovation we are working on to improve convenience for our customers and provide them greater visibility into their deliveries,” Amazon spokeswoman Alana Broadbent told CNET.

As some lucky users of the feature have noted online, Map Tracker only works with packages delivered by Amazon’s own logistics network and not those handled by UPS, FedEX, or USPS.

Amazon continues to evolve the ways customers can track their deliveries. Recently these have included taking photos of your front door to alert you when your package has been delivered and Amazon Key, which uses Amazon’s Cloud Cam and smart lock to monitor couriers dropping off deliveries inside your home.

Facebook is launching a new home services feature in its Marketplace section for US users. Marketplace is a separate commerce section on Facebook that allows users to connect with one another to buy, sell, and give away items. Recently, it’s even added a functionality to search for a home rental or buy a car. With the new home services category, users can now hire professionals for jobs like plumbing, cleaning, and home renovations, which makes it even more like Craigslist. Facebook has partnered with Handy, HomeAdvisor, and Porch for the new feature, and thousands of professionals are listed for services at launch.

“More people ask for recommendations related to home services on Facebook in the US than any other topic,” said Deb Liu, vice president of Marketplace in a statement.

Facebook also offers quick quoting, with the ability to send out your project request to multiple service providers on Marketplace at once. The service also allows you to use Messenger (what else!) to chat with them as well.

To use the feature, just select Marketplace Services from the Marketplace menu on Facebook. Pick the service you want, and Facebook will ask you several questions to help narrow your search results. For instance, when selecting a cleaner, it asks questions about how often you want your house cleaned, how many bedrooms need to be cleaned, how big your house is, and the time frame that you want the task to be completed (within one week, for instance). You then enter your ZIP code, and Facebook lists the people and companies that are able to complete your request. Users can browse through and select a profile to see more details about the company or individual, including ratings and reviews.

The feature is rolling out today and will be available across the US in the coming weeks, Facebook says. There’s no word yet on when the feature might be available globally.
