Well it was fun while it lasted. Snapchat will officially discontinue its Snapcash payments service on August 30th. After almost four years of partnership with Square to bring peer-to-peer payments to Snapchat, the company has confirmed the closure with no further explanation. Users will be notified within the app and through Snapchat's support site.

Phillies fans can now order a beer right from their seats thanks to Apple's Business Chat. Aramark is testing its brew2you program at Citizens Bank Park. The automated beverage assistant could end up as the killer app for Business Chat, at least for sporting events. For now, the pilot program is limited to specific sections of the park during 10 home games.

Putting your phone down at night can be a hard thing to do, especially if you are constantly bombarded with messages, emails and other notifications. While Do Not Disturb silences notifications, you will still see them pop up if you are using your iPhone for something else like reading an e-book or a web page before closing your eyes for the night, and sometimes all it takes is one pesky notification to send you down a rabbit hole for the next half hour or so. iOS 12 introduces a Bedtime Mode for Do Not Disturb that will block notifications from showing while you are using your iPhone.

Teen Titans Go! Figure is the sequel to Cartoon Network's Pokémon parody Teeny Titans. The follow up is a lot like the original, making you wonder why releasing an entirely new app was necessary. I'm assuming $3.99 was the main motivation behind Go Figure.
It's been a few years after Robin became the Teeny Titans champion, and interest in the collectible actions figures called Teeny Titans has waned. The Titans have all sold off their collections when they discover that the company that makes Teeny Titans is discontinuing the toys. This sets off Teeny Titan mania all over again, and the real Titans scramble to collect the toys before they're all gone
