Instaception

Instagram direct messaging now allows you to replay and “remix” your photo conversations. If a friend sends you a picture, you can add stickers, text, and doodles before incorporating it into your reply. Your friend can then incorporate your response into their response, leading to a never-ending chain of remixed responses. Christopher Nolan’s Instaception will hit theaters soon.

Give with Google

30% of charitable donations occur during the holiday season, and Google is making it even easier to give. On Giving Tuesday, Google added a “Donate” button allowing you to directly contribute to an enrolled nonprofit of choice by simply searching for its name. While Facebook’s Charitable Giving feature charges 5% percent for donations, Google takes no fees so you can give as much as your heart desires. (Source: TheVerge)

Several brief videos cover how to leave a group conversation, take a screenshot, and delete photos on iOS devices. (Source: BGR)
