Tinder ditches dating for squad interactions on new iMessage app
Tinder is the latest platform to create its very own app for iMessage. Tinder Stacks will seem both familiar and unique to users of the dating service as it offers the same swipe interface as the company’s flagship app, but abandons its core matchmaking element altogether. Instead, Tinder Stacks is all about group decision-making. The iMessage app basically allows you to create visual polls made up of images from your iPhone photo library for your friends to interact with using a swipe-to-vote-..>> view originalTrump sides with Cruz over Internet domains, possibly snagging spending deal

One of the most talked about features of the iPhone 7 at launch was the new Portrait mode. It’s a software feature that uses the two lenses of the iPhone 7 Plus to create the look and feel of an image shot with portrait settings on a camera with a telephoto lens. Simply put: a pleasing blur that separates the foreground (person) from the background (other junk).

But it adds a couple new annoyances at the same time, which makes the iPhone 7 feel a bit like a beta version of what’s..>> view originalAn Apple takeover of McLaren would make perfect sense if it ever happened
