Android News App: Prisma Launch On OS Broke The Internet? AI Technology Gives Selfie Addicts A New Craze?

The recent Prisma app launch on Android broke the internet for a few hours. Previously launched for iOS, the Prisma app now reaches out to selfie addicts on Android gadgets.

According to BT, the attraction of the Prisma app for both Android and iOS users is its ability to turn any photo into a work of art. Given the phenomenal success of filter apps for selfie photos, the Prisma app provides Android and iOS users the ability to apply art patterns of real-life artists.

BT points out that in this, the Prisma app bears similarities to Instagram. Like the Prisma app, Instagram offers Android and iOS users a wide selection of filters for photo uploads.

Directions for use of the Prisma app is similar to most photo-editing apps available on Android and iOS. The main difference is in the type of filters that the Prisma app allows Android and iOs users to apply to their images.

The media agency further points out that the Prisma app applies artificial intelligence (AI) in assessing and applying the filter requirement for each image. According to PC Mag filter types on the Prisma app include patterns based on such artists as Edvard Munch and Roy Lichtenstein.

Piet Mondrian and Hokusai are also among the styles that the Prisma app offers Android and iOS users on filter. The media outlet reports that images edited with the Prisma app are social media-ready.

The Prisma app is described by Google Play for Android users to uniquely combine technology and art. "A unique combination of neural networks and artificial intelligence helps you turn memorable moments into timeless art," the Prisma app description stated.

PC Mag further reports that the launch of the Prisma app on Android had been remarkably well-received. So much so the Prisma app had to go offline the day after it was launched on Android presumably because of the number of users and amount of photos that were being processed with the new Google Play offering.

Both iOS and Android users were temporarily affected by the Prisma app halt. If you have tried the Prisma app on Android and iOS, were you satisfied with the filters provided?
