After holding trials for a few weeks, Google has finally launched its 'Mini' sticker feature for Gboard. The feature lets users create stickers from their selfies.

Facebook has patented a technology that will help reduce your confusion while choosing selfie filters. The patent describes a technology to identify an emotion and automatically select a mask, Mashable reported. The emotion-detecting software will be able to, for instance, detect happiness from a smiling face and suggest a happy panda face filter, or detect anger and select angry bird filter and so on.
