Google is set to Launch its Google Neighbourly App in India


Google is planning to make its Google Neighbourly App available for Bengaluru and Delhi and is said to add more cities like Hyderabad, Pune, Kolkata, Chandigarh, Lucknow, Indore and Chennai in few weeks. This new Google neighbourly app can answer users questions like what's the best math tution available in this area?, which is the best dinning restaurant?, which is the best school in this area?. The Neighbourly app is developed by the Google's innovative Next billion Users team. 

The app uses current location of the user and identifies the best choice available for its users in their locality. It is a social app that allows users to freely interact with people living within 1km radius. The app is basically designed to make it easier for users in a city to ask local questions and find reliable and relevant answers directly from their neighbours. 


Ben Fohner, Senior Product Manager of Next Billion users team said that, "In our research, we've found that most of life happens within a 1km radius of where you live, We've also found that when finding local information, people prefer to ask or discuss with another person. Neighbourly makes it easy to seek advice and recommendations from neighbours who know the area and have similar tastes. That's why we built Neighbourly, that's why people use it, and that's why we're so excited to make it available to everybody across India".

Google also said that it found that many users asked for being able to join different neighborhoods. This feedback has been taken into account and helped the Next Billion Users team to include some new features such as automatic suggestions on the nearest neighborhood, switch between multiple neighborhood, personalized questions, give Top Neighbor status and advice on how to ask response-attracting questions.

The app supports English and eight other Indian languages which makes it easy for the users to use. Users can download the Neighbourly app via Google PlayStore and the download size of the app is 11MB.  Surprisingly, the app also works with devices running from Android 4.3 Jelly Bean to the latest Android 9.0 Pie.

New Google Photos Update for iOS


Google recently launched a new update of its iOS application Google Photos. This update brings some new cool features like, it allows users to adjust the background blur of the portrait image by using a depth slider and also provides a new "Colour Pop" feature. The interesting aspect of the Depth slider is that it enables users to deepen the bokeh effect which makes the Bokeh look more colorful with detail. Using the depth slider user can either increase or decrease the Bokeh intensity to get the best from the shots.

The depth slider is similar to the slider that is available on Google Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL and other Moto Devices that support the depth photos.

Now, tap on the subject from the image and move the depth slider to adjust the background blur as you require. 

Talking about the Color Pop feature it allows the users to tap and select the subject, Once the subject is selected it converts the rest of the photo to black & white, while the subject still remains colorful. To use this feature users must click on the edit option in the Google Photos app and choose the color pop option from the available set of options. According to Google at the I/O 2018 event, the Color Pop feature uses the artificial intelligence (AI) to disable colors and add a black and white filter. Users can also use the Color Pop feature to manually add colors and remove them.

The latest version of the Google Photos app is already available in App Store for users  to download, with a size of 285.1 MB.
