If you’ve ever built a photo book online, you know how time-consuming it can be. From uploading all of your photos to having to arrange where the photos should go, it can take a few hours to complete your creation. Today, Shutterfly has released a new app, TripPix, which allows you to create beautiful personalized photo books for every important occasion.

To create a personalized photo book, all you have to do is choose 15-30 photos, describe your vacation, and then TripPix will instantly create the look and feel for your book. The TripPix “Add Maps” feature will let you add a map for each location you have visited, that will show up next to the photos in your book. You can easily edit the title and location of each map. TripPix uses location data to incorporate statistics like distance traveled, length of trip, and elevation.

You can even add the names of other people who went on vacation with you, report what the weather was like on your vacation, and say what you did while you were there.

Once you’ve completed your first TripPix book, it will be ready to ship. Your keepsake will be 6×6 and will cost $19.99, and the firm offers free shipping and assures you it will arrive in just a few weeks. TripPix includes a bamboo stand to assist in coffee-table presentation.

You will be able to use photos that are saved on your mobile device and contain location data. If your photos don’t contain location data, however, they won’t be visible. You also can use photos from ThisLife, Facebook, or Instagram.

While there are plenty of sites that let you create photos books online, including Snapfish, CVS, Walmart, and Walgreens, TripPix cuts the time it takes to build one of these books in half. So if your time is as precious as your memories, they may be worth considering. You can download TripPix by Shutterfly on the App Store here

Twitter for iOS now lets you dig up people’s tweets more easily
The Twitter app on the Sony XPeria 5 II.

Twitter recently rolled out a new feature to its iOS app, making it easier to search the tweets of an individual user. Previously, the search term could be amended manually if you wanted to filter tweets by a particular person, but Twitter has added a button for easier access, as spotted by XDA Developers.

Twitter has long since offered advanced search filters on its platforms, whether on desktop or mobile. This was to allow people who wanted to streamline their search by more precise parameters to do so. One of those parameters included usernames, and there was both a field for searching usernames directly, as well as a shortcut (from:username search term) where you could input into the search bar.

TikTok’s creepy new feature lets you search for videos based on people’s faces
TikTok's Logo

You’ll soon be able to look up the faces featured in a TikTok clip. The ByteDance-owned short-form video app is testing a new reverse-image search tool in China. In addition to items such as clothes, the feature will allow you to select a face and browse other videos the person it belongs to appears in.

Originally spotted by WeChat analyst Matthew Brennan, the tool is primarily designed as a source of revenue. When a piece of clothing or other product is selected, TikTok’s visual search will scour e-commerce platforms for a match and show related links if it finds any. The way it’s built is similar to what U.S.-based companies like Google offer.
