Photographers’ Instagram hashtag tool Dehaze rebrands itself as Focalmark

Two months ago, we shared with you Dehaze, an online tool that curates a list of hashtags specifically for the type of photo and location you shot it at. Now, 22 year-old developer Nick Smith has updated Dehaze and subsequently rebranded it as Focalmark, complete with a new app for both iOS and Android.

Identical to the web app, which is still up and running, Focalmark  has an app for both iOS and Android that makes it easier to gather a collection of hashtags to use on popular photo sharing sites like Instagram and Flickr. Rather than having to copy and paste them from your computer to your phone, you can now copy the list of curated hashtags directly from the Focalmark app.

Beyond adding 50 more locations within the app, Smith has also promised more frequent updates of the hashtags used by Focalmark. Specifically, he says more hashtags will be added on a weekly basis, which should help keep you up to date.

Growing a following on photo sharing sites is not easy, but one of the most proven methods of getting reactions and follows is to get your photos out there in the search engines via hashtags. Focalmark hopes to simplify that process and the new mobile apps should help you get the job done in even fewer steps than before.

Head on over to the iOS App Store and Google Play Store to download Focalmark for free. You can still use the web app as well, if that is your cup of tea.

The Apple Intelligence toolkit has witnessed a staggered mix of delayed features and underwhelming perks. But it seems that the most promising set of those AI tools that Apple revealed at WWDC earlier this year is right around the corner.

In the latest edition of his PowerOn newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman writes that the iOS 18.2 update will start rolling out via the stable channel in the first week of December.

Android 16 might give its own spin to iPhone’s Dynamic Island alerts

Over the past few weeks, we’ve come across some interesting details about the next major build of Android. Currently in development under the apparent codename of Baklava, Android 16 will reportedly bring a cool new feature called Priority modes for notifications.

If that sounds familiar, that’s because Apple already offers a bunch of focus modes toward the same goal and bolsters the system with AI-assisted priority notifications in iOS 18. It seems Google doesn’t want to be left behind, and in doing so, could very well lift from a popular iPhone trick.

Apple’s internal tests show Siri isn’t quite ready to beat ChatGPT
Apple Intelligence update on iPhone 15 Pro Max.

With the introduction of the new iPad Mini, Apple made it clear that a software experience brimming with AI is the way forward. And if that meant making the same kind of internal upgrades to a tablet that costs nearly half as much as its flagship phone, the company would still march forward.

However, its ambitions with Apple Intelligence lack competitive vigor, and even by Apple’s own standards, the experience hasn’t managed to wow users. On top of that, the staggered rollout of the most ambitious AI features — many of which are still in the future — has left enthusiasts with a bad impression.
