News: 2 Exciting New Features Coming in Apple's Clips App for iOS
Apple has yet to create a successful social networking app, but that doesn't mean they want to be left out of the social video conversation. Case in point: Today they announced a new video app set to debut for iOS in April called Clips.Clips is separate from the core Camera app on an iPhone or iPad, but it isn't quite a social networking app either. It's somewhere in between the two. Ostensibly, the purpose of the app is to shoot and edit photos and videos that can then be uploaded to social sharing apps.As seen below, the capture screen on the app is square (like Instagram's), and at the top of the app resides four different features: Live Titles, Filters, Overlays, and Posters. Each video you shoot or image you add is a clip, which can be up to 30 minutes long. They can then be strung together with other clips, for a maximum video length of 60 minutes.

Mainly, it's a mishmosh of different parts of Snapchat, Instagram, Vine, Prisma, iMovie, and Qwiki, with features like "adding filters, basic text, contextual elements like location or time of day, emoji, and iTunes music tracks," Goode notes.

Live TitlesLive Titles eliminates having to type out any text overlay: Simply record your voice and the app translates it into text in the font of your choosing. This both speeds up the captioning process for clips and allows for a cool "rolling captioning" over your Clips videos.Oddly, Goode noted, the feature is unintuitive and, unfortunately, it removes the ability to scribble over your face or add text to an image or video with your finger, the way you can in Snapchat. Boo.
PostersThe posters feature will be useful, as Goode says it allows you to create "full-screen, text-based graphics," and slot them into your clip. This is an easy way to have both a title and end card, or to place transitions in between clips the way you might add a transition or explanatory snap image to your story. Traditionally, some sort of editing software would be needed to create these transitions, but with Clips, it can all be done quickly in the palm of your hand.Another appealing and unique characteristic Clips provides? Privacy. The content is stored directly on your phone and is not sent out to a million people directly through the app and stored in the app's cloud (I'm looking at you, Snapchat), so it offers a modicum of more safety that users might be desperate for in today's society.Don't Miss: iOS 10 Lets You Edit, Crop & Add Filters to Live Photos on Your iPhoneFollow Gadget Hacks on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and YouTube Follow Apple Hacks on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest Follow WonderHowTo on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Google+

A workaround that I frequently use on my Samsung Galaxy S4 is enabling flash alerts, which activate the LED when new notifications or calls come in. This still keeps things quiet but makes notifications much more noticeable when your device is in silent or vibrate mode, as the flash isn't easily ignored or missed.
