Google’s Smart Reply feature will soon be made available to third party apps like WhatsApp, Facebook and others just like we have in All o, where the app guesses what you might respond to a message with, and adds a button to send that response.
Invites to test Smart Reply were sent out by Area 120,a division of Google that works on experimental products. As reported by Android police
The email outlined a few features of the Reply app. Smart replies can be shown directly in the message’s notification for an instant response. It might even add smarter replies like when someone asks for an ETA, Google would be able to calculate it for you.
Other Things The Smart Replies Contains includes:
*. Do Not Disturb. When you’re driving, Reply can silence your phone and tell people who message you that you can’t chat right now
*. Don’t miss the important

According to earlier reports , the operations of DSTV and GOtv would come to an end in 2019 as their license which expires in June 2019 would not be renewed.
The license issued to MultiChoice in 2014 is not reportedly in line with the Digital Switch Over (DSO) White Paper and that’s why it wouldn’t be renewed.
In an exclusive statement, MultiChoice says it complies with the regulatory requirements and applicable laws on TV broadcasting.
“GOtv is provided under a fully licenced and registered entity in Nigeria, and this license comes up for renewal in March 2019″ the statement reads.
“As a law-abiding and committed Nigerian operator which has fulfilled (and continues to comply with) all regulatory requirements and

The downvotes feature is not in any way related to dislike that people have been craving for or a look alike of Reddit upvotes and downvotes.
However, the “ downvote ” button F acebook is testing will help clean up some of the hateful comments and fake news posts that are currently wreaking havoc on the social media platform.
The downvote button will eventually appear in the area where you would normally “Like” a post or reply to a comment. When tapped, the downvote button hides a comment, and gives users additional reporting options like “Offensive“, “Misleading“, and “Off Topic“. Those could help Facebook figure out if the comment is objectionable, a form of “fake news“, or just irrelevent.
Here is a look at a comment with “downvote” option;

Interestingly, the feature will employ both face unlock and iris scanners to achieve superior results than Face ID. The iris scanner has been in previous generation of Galaxy Note series phones but it remains fringe thing at readmore:
