India’s messaging app Hike Messenger has announced three new features that are stories, built in camera and live filters. The app also withdrew the Timeline feature that was brought out last year.
In a statement, an executive if Hike said, Stories is a new way for people on hike to share their lives and real moments with their friends through photos and videos. These stories vanish after 48 hours after being posted. In the story feature, a user can see how many people and who all have viewed that particular story, unlike the loves that was featured on timeline feature. hike also launched its own built-in camera into the app.
It also announced the live filters feature that uses hike’s camera to automatically detect and recognise a user’s face using machine learning. hike has 12 live filters, including one that changes a user’s face to Narendra Modi. In honour of our prime minister who is doing all the great work, we launch the Live Filter of Narendra Modi. One of our goals for 2016 has been to bring photos at the centre of hike and stories and live filters, we are doing just that. I really believe camera is the new keyboard.
