The new apps are said to be compatible across devices and operating systems. Adobe is expected to release them in 2019. 

Recently, Adobe built a counter to its own invention because the need of the hour is to help spot the fake from the real. The Photoshop creator has developed a new AI-based system that can identify wrongly manipulated images from the original ones, Engadget reported.

With the help of AI, the system looks for three types of manipulation including cloning, splicing, and removal. While the new system can recognise inconsistencies in seconds, it is still not perfect. 

Adobe planned to stop updating and distributing the Flash Player at the end of 2020, and encouraged a shift to new open formats. "For 20 years, Flash has helped shape the way you play games, watch videos, and run applications on the web," Google said in an online post. 

Flash evolved to support similar uses on mobile devices, but late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs wrote a letter criticizing Flash and the application was not welcomed on iPhones or iPads for reasons including security woes. Apple stopped pre-installing Flash on Mac computers in 2010 and its mobile devices never supported Flash.
