Lensa
Lensa is a photo editing app that uses artificial intelligence to make your face look prettier. Lensa recently received a special new function, whereby the app creates dozens of profile pictures based on your face.
You give the app ten to twenty photos that clearly show your face. The app then recreates your face in a series of dozens to hundreds of profile photos with different themes. One is artistic and the other realistic.
These pictures are not all perfect, because there are clearly visible errors here and there. For example, the hand could look weird and be in the wrong place, or things just aren’t right. This means that only a portion of the profile pictures can actually be used.
A subscription is required to edit photos with Lensa, but it’s not necessary to take profile photos. It is paid separately. You can do this from 3.49 €, for which you get fifty avatars.

Duolingo
The popular language app Duolingo has undergone a major transformation. Not only does the app look different, everything works differently. Language learning now goes through a steady path where you take the next step each time.
Previously you could take lessons for every topic, but now Duolingo wants you to take a flat road. This makes practicing what you’ve learned before more difficult. Duolingo promises that this iteration is now integrated into the route. The progress you’ve already made with the language will also carry over to this new path.
The change should make the application more clear, because it is immediately clear what needs to be done. However, this setting gives users less flexibility to learn in their own way. So many users are asking Duolingo to roll back the update.
The update has already been tested with a few users in recent months, but now everyone can follow the learning path.
