Speaking during the unveiling of the product, the Managing Director, MultiChoice Nigeria, John Ugbe, said: As a customer-focused organization, we understand that subscribers’ needs are not all the same, and their economy might differ. As such, we have introduced GOtv Lite to cater for the down market. GOtv subscribers can now pay less to enjoy more.”<br />

Snapchat Has Made It Easier To Create Your Own Custom Geofilter

One of Snapchat’s coolest features is geofilters which are special overlays that appear on the app when you turn on your location on your smartphone and are specific to a location. Snapchat has its own general geofilters but the company had made provisions earlier to make custom ones way back in February, but it required some knowledge in graphic design to come up with the filters.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQJA_tWlzo7pxTDPut1DMG4JupoxLRFhUhvfw_377RVKV1WGZUnHrm7-rk2HOBlvCJeTtYDOvsCWof97vScGs-xlJvi-pVopGjh_isET13u4jgLpoq8nM0hKRNAi13NH39JpV4ronApoJE/s1600/Snapchat-on-demand-geofilters-700x366-1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="167" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQJA_tWlzo7pxTDPut1DMG4JupoxLRFhUhvfw_377RVKV1WGZUnHrm7-rk2HOBlvCJeTtYDOvsCWof97vScGs-xlJvi-pVopGjh_isET13u4jgLpoq8nM0hKRNAi13NH39JpV4ronApoJE/s320/Snapchat-on-demand-geofilters-700x366-1.png" width="320" /></a></div>The company has decided to make the process easy which is great since this is a revenue stream for the company. All you need to do is head to the On Demand Geofilters while on desktop and after logging in, you will be given access to a bunch of tools to create your own geofilter. There are three themes available: Birthdays, weddings and celebrations  and from that you can customize further where you can add the text and choose the colours. When you are done, you will be able to preview the geofilter and then proceed to pay.<br />
<br />
As for pricing, it has not changed since they start from $5 which will be up for 30 minutes and the geofence will cover 20,000 square feet and can go as high as 30 days with a 5 mile radius.<br />
<br />
Geofilters are a popular product in Snapchat since apparently they are viewed more than a billion times per day. The sad thing is that On Demand geofilters are not available in Nairobi at the moment. This is an excellent way for announcing to your friends of an event around you (if they have their location turned on) and the personalization options are a great touch too. This is a cool concept and we have to see if other networks will copy Snapchat in offering such products.

2016 Marks the End of the Google Nexus Device as We Know it – Report

Over the last couple of months, we’ve been treated to endless leaks and rumours of two smartphones believed to be what Google was readying for unveiling later this year. To many, this meant only one thing: they would be this year’s Nexus smartphones.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizHYvU5wYNkSltfyE0SztKga_MpJblR3XBNQjc1EhtzKt8ynjcwn2rtizmVyNWnJJi8qkMj3vE2p81MFwhDKIg3fKayXMWc5LwhIQizVDBEBiSCNIjWUepR8zbDnb-6UqStAWr3Hw0i-24/s1600/Nexus-5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizHYvU5wYNkSltfyE0SztKga_MpJblR3XBNQjc1EhtzKt8ynjcwn2rtizmVyNWnJJi8qkMj3vE2p81MFwhDKIg3fKayXMWc5LwhIQizVDBEBiSCNIjWUepR8zbDnb-6UqStAWr3Hw0i-24/s320/Nexus-5.png" width="320" /></a></div>It’s not hard to see why that it was easy to make that assumption. Since 2009, we’ve been treated to at least a new Nexus device every year. After the “Android Silver” rumours turned out to be ahead of their time back in 2014, we had resigned to the fact that there would always be a Nexus device lineup from Google on top of anything else. Remember the Google Play Edition devices?<br />
<br />
However, it looks like Google is keen on moving forward and the Nexus program will be the first culprit of any such plans. According to a new report by Android Central, it is the end of the road for the Nexus line. There won’t be any more Nexus devices. The LG-made Nexus 5X and the Huawei-made Nexus 6P from last year are the last in a long line of Nexus devices that has included devices from HTC, Samsung, Asus and Motorola as well.<br />
<br />
According to the report, in place of the shared branding between Google under “Nexus” and the device maker, this year’s devices that are taking the place of the Nexus lineup will instead place the Google brand front and centre. Instead of a pure unaltered stock Android experience, Google is said to be adding a few things on top to differentiate the new devices from the Nexus lineup as we know it. That could include that new navigation bar and buttons we heard about recently that is conspicuously missing from the Android Nougat update that existing Nexus devices received last week.<br />
<br />
If this turns out to be true, then it will be a teary farewell to an iconic device brand that has become the yardstick of the Android software experience over the years. A part of me can’t wait to see what Google has in store while another part is grieving. There might be a few more months to prepare all Android watchers and Nexus fans for either the inevitable (falling of the axe) or a resurgence. We’ll have to wait, though.

Amazfit is Xiaomi’s First Smartwatch for Adults

Back in April, word went round that Chinese device maker Xiaomi was planning to enter the smartwatch market with a new wearable targeted at adults. The company’s existing smartwatches have all been targeted at kids complete with features that would excite the young ones. For the adult population that its rivals have been targeting immensely over the last one year, it has only offered its fitness-focused budget wearable, the Mi Band.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRGoT2sdvcG-sgd1QCvCWZGiJT3MFW9KncNG9kyTHslQ1KwS5CUhujebh1kLcTWMpoxc5P03hKKvRUt10dOQYCLjfMl-yGGA-XfUC9h3jd-n4bN0ypXAw2rrU1wbrxGjOsYi93lE8gkI_L/s1600/huami-amazfit_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRGoT2sdvcG-sgd1QCvCWZGiJT3MFW9KncNG9kyTHslQ1KwS5CUhujebh1kLcTWMpoxc5P03hKKvRUt10dOQYCLjfMl-yGGA-XfUC9h3jd-n4bN0ypXAw2rrU1wbrxGjOsYi93lE8gkI_L/s320/huami-amazfit_1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>That is now changing with the company’s subsidiary, Huami, unveiling Xiaomi’s first ever smartwatch targeted at the adult population.<br />
<br />
According to Xiaomi, the smartwatch, which is called Amazfit, is the first in the world to sport a 28 nanometer GPS sensor. Those big words shouldn’t bother you that much, though. They just imply that if you’re to use the Amazfit for your fitness needs e.g. calculating workouts and location tracking, it will be much better and accurate. It’s Xiaomi’s way of playing up its latest device since it is entering a crowded field already dominated by Apple’s iPhone and a host of dirt-cheap alternatives from other small brands from its motherland.<br />
<br />
Smartwatches from Android rivals like Samsung and Huawei haven’t faired so well and the two companies, have, as a resulted to extensive price cuts to attract buyers. Samsung has even gone a step further to open up its closely-guarded platform to iPhone users and is unveiling new smartwatches this week.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKfmPAMsmvLflzDnx_g-giUrsf7IE3AcVKZR6deNHIkseHOusmmopm7GPTvnQ-X36uxdwROTsVAR2fJgPSlSRSaTvO_NUUtTPb0uKOyY8UO22hJUIElWq6Hr_F1fDkCZfAC9p7__MS14y6/s1600/huami-amazfit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="126" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKfmPAMsmvLflzDnx_g-giUrsf7IE3AcVKZR6deNHIkseHOusmmopm7GPTvnQ-X36uxdwROTsVAR2fJgPSlSRSaTvO_NUUtTPb0uKOyY8UO22hJUIElWq6Hr_F1fDkCZfAC9p7__MS14y6/s320/huami-amazfit.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
The Amazfit packs a 300 x 300 pixels 1.34-inch display, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 512MB RAM, 4GB onboard storage, Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy, Wi-Fi, a dedicated heart rate monitor, support for mobile payments (Alibaba’s AliPay), IP67 certification (for water and dust resistance) and a 280mAh battery which Xiaomi claims lasts for over 11 days when the watch is used as just that, a watch with only the pedometer functions turned on. When GPS is on and the heart rate sensor is put through its paces, battery life drops to just 35 hours.<br />
<br />
The watch works when paired with a smartphone using the MiFit app which syncs any data to the phone. In addition to supporting mobile payments, the watch’s internal storage, according to Xiaomi, can be used to store up to 500 songs thus eliminating the need for users to constantly have a smartphone paired for entertainment purposes. There’s also a partnership with a local company in China to provide music streaming on the watch.<br />
<br />
The 22mm straps are interchangeable.<br />
<br />
The device is on sale in China for an equivalent of $120, still cheaper than most smartwatches we’ve seen in the market from Xiaomi’s global rivals. There is no word on it ever leaving China for foreign shores, yet.

Facebook to Launch Express Wi-Fi in Lagos Nigeria following success in India

A few weeks back, Facebook announced it was rebooting the free basics service in India by launching Express Wifi. With Express Wi-Fi, Facebook was partnering with internet service providers allowing users to purchase data.  Facebook will then offers these ISPs software that helps them sell with a 15% commission on each data sale. At the same time, the ISPs will work to provide internet service in rural areas, which can be accessed via public Wi-Fi hotspots. The success of the project in India was to act as a launching pad for the service in other developing nations across the world.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBKH81JHZfJBBVzTlZZ3dFOdC9nMS80-7MWiyyxN88TZILZ8q_nopxx9M8b_jdP-jTVdeOzNGq-RAHZ60GLfl9yjJnO4Fm5ViMOvUDUAgHAs_MFAo9uSpEl7dD5kZU3_Op7aXzyiZ8oPj6/s1600/Internet.org_logo_techweez%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBKH81JHZfJBBVzTlZZ3dFOdC9nMS80-7MWiyyxN88TZILZ8q_nopxx9M8b_jdP-jTVdeOzNGq-RAHZ60GLfl9yjJnO4Fm5ViMOvUDUAgHAs_MFAo9uSpEl7dD5kZU3_Op7aXzyiZ8oPj6/s320/Internet.org_logo_techweez%25281%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>According to Tech Cabal, Facebook has partnered with Nigerian ISP Cool Link in launching the service in Lagos. Express Wifi hotspots will have service speeds of 10Mbps with plans ranging from as low as N40 (Kshs. 12) for 100MB daily to N1,600 (Kshs. 514) for 5GB monthly. Tech Cabal also says that users in Lagos will have a 14-day free trial for the service with daily usage capped at 100 MBs.<br />
<br />
Express Wi-Fi was preceded by Free Basics which was an ambitious plan by the social network to bring the internet to parts of the world that do not have it.  Through it, users access basic web services such as weather reports, Wikipedia, Facebook at no cost. The grand scheme of things is to have these users enjoy these basic services which would, in turn, inspire them to explore the rest of the web. In India, Free Basics faced criticism from the tech community stating that would disadvantage them in terms of users accessing their sites. Others were of the opinion that the scheme violated their privacy as developer guidelines stated websites should not include HTTPS, TLS or SSL encryption technologies. We certainly hope Express Wi-Fi lands in Nairobi soon.

Instagram Now Has A Feature In Stories Snapchat Has Never Decided To Integrate

Instagram introduced Stories at the beginning of the month to the surprise of many and one thought that crossed everybody’s minds was “Why was Instagram copying Snapchat?” It made sense since Snapchat’s Stories model was working since millennials and older people alike love it, the network was growing and the engagement numbers are high.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtB_uhrkfG9D-gBTiy0BwR7h19c5AZmvj56u0XQQv4CNRkpx42IKIAfOkxuYU288HEIwsvKetuJKF7X3mGQfuWLewlN6-UMVko-_FNzDUIfwHqO8kZKf0woNY2UMP7eoweNexzi0-81d8f/s1600/Instagram-new-icon1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtB_uhrkfG9D-gBTiy0BwR7h19c5AZmvj56u0XQQv4CNRkpx42IKIAfOkxuYU288HEIwsvKetuJKF7X3mGQfuWLewlN6-UMVko-_FNzDUIfwHqO8kZKf0woNY2UMP7eoweNexzi0-81d8f/s320/Instagram-new-icon1.png" width="320" /></a></div>However, the company has decided to add a feature that we wonder why Snapchat has never decided to add before. According to a report by TechCrunch, Instagram will suggest users for you so as to follow their stories.<br />
<br />
How will Instagram do this? Well when you tap the Explore tab, Instagram will populate a list of accounts you could follow so as to see their Stories. This bar has Suggested Stories and will be at the top as shown by the following screenshot.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh50zT4iQD3-MWKVDeDfGZqq8Gz7cikBVRcImRkBJZoL2wCqxCQlq4tz8wUbtZyukYRpV1tMOL3dH5oqvWAiTGm8ZRzq90fBjbDVXK34zjIyiki2yi8Bbacr4fpqTx9hOeiSaDtzfui8Fc_/s1600/instagram-explore-stories.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh50zT4iQD3-MWKVDeDfGZqq8Gz7cikBVRcImRkBJZoL2wCqxCQlq4tz8wUbtZyukYRpV1tMOL3dH5oqvWAiTGm8ZRzq90fBjbDVXK34zjIyiki2yi8Bbacr4fpqTx9hOeiSaDtzfui8Fc_/s320/instagram-explore-stories.png" width="227" /></a></div>This system will use algorithms to suggest people to you which follows the company’s move to use algorithms to curate your Instagram feed. Judging from your activity from who you follow or the topics that you like, you will get tailored recommendations of people you should follow.<br />
<br />
This is actually a sleek move by Instagram as you might be bored with the Stories your friends churn out on your feed and might want to see what Stories are out there being published by other people. Apparently 100 million people use Explore which is 20% of the daily monthly active user base of Instagram and the move by Instagram to show suggested stories within the tab can be seen as a way to drive interest on the product.

Uber and Rival, Careem Suspend Services in Abu Dhabi

Uber and its rival Careem have suspended services in the Capital of United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi following clashes with regulators. The two have had their drivers arrested by authorities for what is claimed as failure to comply with regulations. However, these regulations are unstated. According to Financial Times, 9 drivers from Careem have been arrested while other Media Sources claim a total of 50 drivers between the two apps have been stopped or arrested by police.<br />
<br />

The Abu Dhabi government’s Center for Regulation of Transport by Hire Cars had earlier this year asked that ride-hailing apps to raise fares and comply with licensing requirements that limit the number of drivers available for hire. These moves were meant to offer a fair-play ground for all player including some partly owned by the government.<br />
<br />
Careem on its part has managed to capture a large segment of the Middle East and north Africa and Pakistan market outpacing Uber.  Careem which is based in Dubai is owned by Saudi and other regional investors. The two services have pledge to restore services once the issue is clarified.

Report: Twitter Is Working on An Anti-Harrasment Filtering Tool

Twitter is a great place to meet new people from all over the world thanks to the chatroom nature of the network. However, this system has led to one problem that has been plaguing the network for a while now and that is cyber-bullying. We have seen cases of people being harassed by others on Twitter and they end up deactivating accounts and such behaviour is quite detrimental to the growth of Twitter which has rather stagnated over time.<br />
<br />
To counter cyber-bullying activities on the network, Twitter has been adding features that help people report these trolls. One of the more effective ways of weeding out trolls is by blocking them and that is why Twitter added a way to share block lists of known trolls and by fixing how the block button to make it more effective.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM1acrhsARBGqd1xDn264ahzPiddScrG_Y93SQHKq5UwN2ykneN-6TgMGRO4jKjK18bK7NM3RkuXnu0QhOlN94-aYJSOja6RJwZrcgt-Oe9WgP0tDExMLBml-ZB3HDmE-lww05625kwBv_/s1600/Twitter-verification-checkmark.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM1acrhsARBGqd1xDn264ahzPiddScrG_Y93SQHKq5UwN2ykneN-6TgMGRO4jKjK18bK7NM3RkuXnu0QhOlN94-aYJSOja6RJwZrcgt-Oe9WgP0tDExMLBml-ZB3HDmE-lww05625kwBv_/s320/Twitter-verification-checkmark.png" width="320" /></a></div>Now the company is being reported by Bloomberg that they are trying another way of curtailing abuse on the network. Apparently Twitter is working on a keyword based tool that will help the 313 million active users the network has to filter posts they see. These keywords will help people block certain words that they dont want to see.<br />
<br />
This move is strikingly similar to what Instagram was reported testing where some of its users will be able to filter comments they see on their posts. On Instagram, the person could choose certain words they don’t want to see in the comments or just go ahead and close the comments section altogether.

Huawei Tipped to Launch Two New Smartphones at IFA 2016

So, yes, Huawei won’t be releasing the Mate 9 (or was it going to be the Mate S2?) at IFA 2016 in Berlin. What are we getting instead? Probably a smartphone codenamed Nova made with just women in mind. Or so goes the rumour mill.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu6simO4Qh8hGrICFLtbGnDYpDBJYcxItt_6Jkbeek4YtGbFuwmAfjyP0xBcSvnzK7daJBqI8FyaqOfNf_9b62cRLRFj3mtJsqC7FiZGdsNGph-5bOx-KhzSoLanouGmONs3bVDUMIlzsJ/s1600/Huawei.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu6simO4Qh8hGrICFLtbGnDYpDBJYcxItt_6Jkbeek4YtGbFuwmAfjyP0xBcSvnzK7daJBqI8FyaqOfNf_9b62cRLRFj3mtJsqC7FiZGdsNGph-5bOx-KhzSoLanouGmONs3bVDUMIlzsJ/s320/Huawei.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>While we don’t know the specifics of that smartphone, chances are that it will show up in good company, it won’t be alone. Apparently, Huawei has two smartphones slated for unveiling this week at IFA 2016 if the invites it sent out to sections of the tech media are anything to go by.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiie7N5woqt9DGmQCCzeYNew2AdW4vQHvzqQfkwmhiDe65EB5gT5gjaZSBfIc5HNQl_Tw-PIHpLIHigUErTXkWnPFjOaxHriqcyys3LEXJguhwtt3xMAcxLjtb0Sgv0QHt7wDP__7II1EFF/s1600/Huawei_IFA_2016_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiie7N5woqt9DGmQCCzeYNew2AdW4vQHvzqQfkwmhiDe65EB5gT5gjaZSBfIc5HNQl_Tw-PIHpLIHigUErTXkWnPFjOaxHriqcyys3LEXJguhwtt3xMAcxLjtb0Sgv0QHt7wDP__7II1EFF/s320/Huawei_IFA_2016_3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
The above invites show that the unreleased smartphones really aren’t at the high level that the Mate belongs to. Why do I say so? Well, if anything, we expect all top-of-the-line Huawei smartphones to have the dual-camera setup heralded by the P9 and if the above invites are anything to go by, the two new devices won’t have any of that.

Opera Sync May Have Been Hacked, Opera Advises Users to Change Passwords

Users of the Opera browser on either desktop or mobile will be familiar with Opera Sync, the service that allows them to back up their browser data and settings on their devices across all platforms. According to Opera, unauthorized parties, in this case hackers, may have breached the service’s servers and possibly gained access to sensitive user data like login credentials.<br />

“We take your data security very seriously and want to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this might have caused you,” reads part of the email which was sent to me and many users of the service. According to Opera, only under 1.7 million people used Opera Sync in the last one month, a far cry from the over 350 million people that use Opera. “The remaining Opera browser users who do not use Opera sync, do not need to take any actions,” adds a statement released by the company on August 26th while reporting the breach.

No New Mate Smartphone for IFA 2016 – Huawei

Huawei has an event confirmed for September 1st in Berlin just as IFA 2016 gets underway. For a while now, it has been widely rumoured that this may be the company’s chance to show off a new member of its phablet device range, the Mate series. Whether it would be called the Huawei Mate S2 since last year’s device was the first Mate S or the Huawei Mate 9 following in the footsteps of the last member of that series from early this year, was still anyone’s guess.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOkw7P-NjDApyKoRQRsKmln-LOudfVIK-Zvb424Q_8W-TrMnCDl9J8oxKtqwhHR5TXJZmuQPk6xXEyuO_UjfaP9PIgBDFw6cGTzAF_XCDI1J1-7-mPPK1li7Gq4eGjojKO3rtRG5W364uL/s1600/Huawei_Mate_8_7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="162" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOkw7P-NjDApyKoRQRsKmln-LOudfVIK-Zvb424Q_8W-TrMnCDl9J8oxKtqwhHR5TXJZmuQPk6xXEyuO_UjfaP9PIgBDFw6cGTzAF_XCDI1J1-7-mPPK1li7Gq4eGjojKO3rtRG5W364uL/s320/Huawei_Mate_8_7.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>However, it seems that this won’t be the case. An unnamed company executive is quoted by technology blog GizmoChina as confirming that there won’t be a new Mate device at IFA 2016. Instead, the company will use the September 1st event to showcase a new device range we haven’t seen yet. Multiple reports last week hinted at a Huawei smartphone designed specifically for women so our first guess is that this might be it. However, since we’re completely in the dark now that the Mate series has been ruled out, we really can’t be sure until something major is thrown our way or we wait to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth this Thursday.<br />
<br />
Be it as it may, it is still about time we saw another Mate smartphone from Huawei. The company may be reserving this for its own separate event since the Mate series has morphed from just another side experiment with extra-large smartphones into a highlight for the second half of the year after the flagship P series hits the market.

Facebook Has Ditched Human Curators For Its Trending Topics

Facebook’s search usually gets love from the company from time to time and the last time it was given an update, it brought about trending topics that were of great interest in the network. Unlike trending topics on Twitter, Facebook’s was maintained by a team which was under fire after a report by Gizmodo shun a light of how the team maintains it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzL1a_Lw1BXPtbS3WlnmMQce07iWkq-ZrWU_bvxedcOWw5ykKUq57VZrL-V2oJRKaTC4v0-boGGhJj-VcHr2MtbZoAk-SB2A52UhvCGUkMqyyh3qLu6HJ6FfECkRFXD9jNljS5pqk8V9Bl/s1600/Facebook-trending-topics.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzL1a_Lw1BXPtbS3WlnmMQce07iWkq-ZrWU_bvxedcOWw5ykKUq57VZrL-V2oJRKaTC4v0-boGGhJj-VcHr2MtbZoAk-SB2A52UhvCGUkMqyyh3qLu6HJ6FfECkRFXD9jNljS5pqk8V9Bl/s320/Facebook-trending-topics.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>The company wants to change that from a blogpost where Facebook has updated trending topics by eliminating the human aspect of it. The process to determine the trending topics will be now algorithimically driven and you will see a change when compared to the human curated version.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihFHuIqau3yKNpz7HGdHedJMpzeqxEkgoFlsikMFoS7QP_ngMuIOiQ22czBJgleaH5j2-SNqgzBhtvB92j6kY9ua-HEmpi7z4PB58QOsG42e0g4VyuUXr0RAqGTyyuNbzUhS9MUIju7pdF/s1600/before_after_newcallout-1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihFHuIqau3yKNpz7HGdHedJMpzeqxEkgoFlsikMFoS7QP_ngMuIOiQ22czBJgleaH5j2-SNqgzBhtvB92j6kY9ua-HEmpi7z4PB58QOsG42e0g4VyuUXr0RAqGTyyuNbzUhS9MUIju7pdF/s320/before_after_newcallout-1.png" width="320" /></a></div><br />
As you can see, you will notice the simpler description of the topic in the new version as compared to the old human curated way which was more descriptive. It looks like what Twitter does with its trending topics where you have the trending topic and below it and the engagement numbers. As usual, the topics shown will be custom from the pages you liked, your location, trending topics you interacted previously or what is trending on Facebook.<br />
<br />
However, it is not “human free” as the company points out that some aspects need human intervention to make the list “high quality” like example #lunch can be a trending topic every day during lunchtime but it will not be shown as a trending topic.<br />
<br />
It is commendable Facebook has decided to rely on algorithms to make sure trending topics reflect what is happening in the world which will make it catch up with Twitter.

U know Feelbaze.com Is The Best When It Comes To Freebrowsing Cheat. The latest trend is with the night plan.<br />
But this is only for those who are ready to sacrifice their night rest for cheap data plan.<br />
<br />
Although Mtn actually started the night plan, others have also followed suite with their different night packages.<br />
So now you can decide to go for either Mtn, Airtel, Etisalat or Glo depending on the one that suites you most. I will list out all available night plans, validity, price and also data cap.<br />
Mtn Night Plan:<br />
This started it all and it's arguably still the most popular of them all. Although Mtn claims that this plan is valid from 12a.m to 4a.m the same day, it actually expires at 3.30am and not 4a.m. With the Mtn night plan, at just N25 you get 500mb of data after which fair usage policy will be applied. And it last from 12a.m to 3:30a.m the same day.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>How To Activate Mtn Night Plan.</b><br />
==> First, you must be on Mtn pulse. To migrate just dial *406#.<br />
<br />
==> Make sure you have at least N25 on your Mtn line.<br />
<br />
==> To subscribe, SMS "night" to 131.<br />
Unfortunately this plan can't be renewed same night. Which means you can only subscribe once in a day.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Airtel Night Plan:</b><br />
The Airtel Night Plan to me is inarguably the best of them all as long as you have a good network reception in your area. Airtel actually offers two options. You can either subscribe for 500mb at N25 or 1.5Gb at N50 and it's valid from 12:00a.m to 4:00a.m.<br />
<br />
What makes the Airtel plan better is that, unlike the Mtn night plan, you can renew the Airtel Night Plan the same day. But this plan is only available for those on Airtel Trybe tariff plan. <br />
<br />
<b>How to Activate the Airtel Night Plan</b><br />
==> Make sure you are on Airtel Trybe or migrate by dialing *312#.<br />
<br />
==> Make sure you have enough airtime on your line.<br />
<br />
==> Dial *312*2# and follow the command prompt. Like I said earlier, you can subscribe for the Airtel Night plan more than once in a day.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Glo Night Plan:</b> <br />
<br />
Unlike the rest, Glo actually offers night and weekend plan. Which means that the Glo night plan is valid in the night on weekdays and all day during the weekend. <br />
<br />
<b>How To Active Glo Night/Weekend Plan</b><br />
<br />
==> To subscribe, dial *127*61#.<br />
<br />
==> Or dial *777# and follow the on-screen command prompt.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Etisalat Night Plan:</b><br />
<br />
This to me is the worst of all four, in spite of multiple criticism by their customers, etisalat night plan still remains the most expensive of them all. With the etisalat night plan, you get 1Gb for N200 which is valid from 12a.m to 5a.m<br />
<br />
<b>How To Active The Etisalat Night Plan</b><br />
<br />
== > Make sure you have at last N200 on your Etisalat line.<br />
<br />
==> Dial *229*3*11# to Activate.<br />
<br />
The etisalat night plan is valid from 12a.m to 5a.m the same day.<br />
Aside the Etisalat Night plan, they also have another weekend and night plan of 2Gb for N1,000 and 5Gb for 2,000 which runs from 7p.m to 7a.m on weekdays and all day on weekends. You also get extra 100mb for WhatsApp only which can be used anytime, any day .<br />
<br />
<br />
So guys that's all. Above is the full list of all available night plans and detailed information on each of them.<br />
It's now your choice to choose the one that you think suites you most.<br />
<br />
If you have any question, feel free to ask and also don't forget to share this post on your various social media platforms.

6GB RAM Galaxy Note 7 Goes Official in China, Already a Hit with Consumers

That 6GB RAM Galaxy Note 7 variant that we previously heard was headed to China actually made it on time and it is already a fan favourite.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEKFLoKl_ZcN3uSoSkLGB9HLS0dTc2Bmzy6_3a7UhruRDf6ZjXBC7LqFARuAs3nO77i0CJXAAJ8iyd9Iew6FWjkFuoqz-axFunEg9ZXuYt3nk2oCNqGB5KeSZRDQQK6M5D0HQ4qMoiJGo-/s1600/Galaxy_Note_7_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEKFLoKl_ZcN3uSoSkLGB9HLS0dTc2Bmzy6_3a7UhruRDf6ZjXBC7LqFARuAs3nO77i0CJXAAJ8iyd9Iew6FWjkFuoqz-axFunEg9ZXuYt3nk2oCNqGB5KeSZRDQQK6M5D0HQ4qMoiJGo-/s320/Galaxy_Note_7_3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>According to reports from the Asian nation, pre-orders for the device crossed the 1 million mark within 2 hours of opening.<br />
<br />
That goes to show that Samsung’s realization that China was a spec-hungry nation was spot on. The company is hoping to beat the several options available from local players such as Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, LeEco, ZTE and Xiaomi and other global brands like Apple whose latest iPhones will soon be seeing the light of day.<br />
<br />
Other than the increase in storage, which users will definitely appreciate and which some will argue, should’ve come as standard to all the Note 7s after reports of the device’s embarrassing performance results when pitted against a year-old iPhone, the Chinese Note 7 is not any different. Not even in pricing. It is pretty much what the ordinary model is both in design and other specifications.

Galaxy Note 7’s New Notes App is Coming to Older Galaxy Notes Too

Previously, Samsung has had several note-taking apps on its devices. That is even complicated on its Galaxy Note smartphones that are entirely built around the concept of taking note-taking (see?) to a whole new level using the included stylus (S Pen).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6SSo368pnnbnMAm3CAGiC_b-Tju4mk_MAnzHKmMIalVtI-ZSGFOPlSwsh51l31ZTJaEa37YJyx6BD-qeo8aK9_heuv4ZwwwVhM62DZ26vfDo0mJE_85MxcFNyQeAGdElAh4PkvgUvvXQS/s1600/Samsung_Notes_app.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="181" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6SSo368pnnbnMAm3CAGiC_b-Tju4mk_MAnzHKmMIalVtI-ZSGFOPlSwsh51l31ZTJaEa37YJyx6BD-qeo8aK9_heuv4ZwwwVhM62DZ26vfDo0mJE_85MxcFNyQeAGdElAh4PkvgUvvXQS/s320/Samsung_Notes_app.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
There is, for instance, the Memo app, then another notes app, S-Notes, then whatever else Samsung bothered to include for, again, note-taking (Action Memo, Scrapbook, sigh). With the new Galaxy Note 7, the company took a step back and removed all the clutter, opting, instead, to stick with just one note-taking app, Notes.<br />
<br />
That app will soon make its way to older Galaxy Note devices.<br />
<br />
Samsung does not give specific details so we really can’t tell if that includes devices that go a long way back like my beloved Galaxy Note 3. Knowing device makers, though, by that statement Samsung likely means devices that are still within its software support terms. That is usually 2 years. So, for now, until we get further information, Galaxy Note 5 users can rest easy while Galaxy Note 4 users can cross their fingers.

Truecaller Will Now Come Pre-installed in All Future Huawei Smartphones

Tens of millions of Huawei smartphones that will be entering the market going forward will arrive with Truecaller pre-installed. This is after the makers of Truecaller, the app that is widely known for identifying unknown callers and blocking spammers, entered into a “strategic deal” with the Chinese device maker.<br />
<br />
According to a statement released to announce the deal, there is no money changing hands and the two companies believe that the deal is in their best interests as, according to them, each side stands to gain.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaPdekcQavqVd3qvGVtOEojVdJBtVSGRrP6TQjHddUtkEcuysDxxK43JPw9U9k0mO-ImuBXZaobTmwlYDKY3fDZWki9r6N4q0fLLIYr8m8Lexf5hyrbqWkyBc3BNQLvQWuDFyUaoTWZoP4/s1600/Truecaller-and-Huawei.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="177" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaPdekcQavqVd3qvGVtOEojVdJBtVSGRrP6TQjHddUtkEcuysDxxK43JPw9U9k0mO-ImuBXZaobTmwlYDKY3fDZWki9r6N4q0fLLIYr8m8Lexf5hyrbqWkyBc3BNQLvQWuDFyUaoTWZoP4/s320/Truecaller-and-Huawei.png" width="320" /></a></div><br />
The first device to arrive with the Truecaller integration is the flagship device of Huawei’s Honor sub-brand which specializes in smartphones that are mid-range in price and premium in everything else, the Honor 8. Starting in September, all new Huawei devices in America, Middle East & North Africa (MENA), South East Asia and India will arrive with the app preloaded. Since there is no mention of our region, Sub-Saharan Africa, is it safe to say we’re safe?<br />
<br />
TRUECALLER USERS ARE MAKING OVER HALF A BILLION CALLS EVERY MONTH<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1pee5Ar7cuy-p6P89MRxRLeQg6lDbaxGXCQ9Ni75T_yvILmHXaD1O_ePQAGO5DcOs4psgtHYsVaiGGP8l9yIlBIfn4EPAPyVwc7ZmVSsvu6qYdcTwQ-EmlH7nBb7BndVknnIjKR2k2H30/s1600/Truecaller.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="229" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1pee5Ar7cuy-p6P89MRxRLeQg6lDbaxGXCQ9Ni75T_yvILmHXaD1O_ePQAGO5DcOs4psgtHYsVaiGGP8l9yIlBIfn4EPAPyVwc7ZmVSsvu6qYdcTwQ-EmlH7nBb7BndVknnIjKR2k2H30/s320/Truecaller.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>The pessimism in that last statement is because Truecaller is a double-edged sword, at least to some users. Some see it as invading users’ privacy while others see it as a very useful tool in their day-to-day lives. Indeed, the company confirmed the latter by announcing that it had hit the 90 million monthly active users mark and that its users were making half a billion calls every month.<br />
<br />
The deal with Huawei is certainly Truecaller’s biggest, yet, but not the first. The company has had a similar arrangement with Cyanogen Inc that has seen the app’s caller identifying function built into the dialer app of devices that run on Cyanogen OS like the Wileyfox Storm and others.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbhzb23okWfiXdVgXmb49GDckDbnwWyZiNYsS5wvA3niIesnr2h7WjGSFQMi7wwHoJQIkLzcpDvjPljsxdlfn-tP33CK6kn6iYCXUMW5Q2V0bSG9Q5n0EO-nVnOfZul8T6iKSVwBnqYup8/s1600/Android_SpamCall.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbhzb23okWfiXdVgXmb49GDckDbnwWyZiNYsS5wvA3niIesnr2h7WjGSFQMi7wwHoJQIkLzcpDvjPljsxdlfn-tP33CK6kn6iYCXUMW5Q2V0bSG9Q5n0EO-nVnOfZul8T6iKSVwBnqYup8/s320/Android_SpamCall.gif" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Industry-wide, there has been a shift towards integrating some of the features that have made Truecaller popular and recognizable worldwide. In certain regions, Samsung’s 2016 flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, for instance, ship with a caller ID and spam caller detector built in thanks to a partnership with US company Whitepages that is behind Hiya, a solution similar to Truecaller’s. Hiya is also powering similar functionality on Samsung’s latest high-end smartphone, the Galaxy Note 7, in 28 countries. Google is also in the mix. The search giant updated the phone app on the latest Nexus and Android One smartphones to automatically flag spam callers.

Zain follows MTN in Cutting Cost for South Sudan Operations

South Sudan has faced economic turmoil since conflict broke out in 2013. This has seen its currency,  South Sudan Pound collapse, and inflation levels rise and the economy of the oil-rich nation tanking. Foreign companies including Kenyan banks have been the most affected by the economic turmoil that has followed the conflict.<br />

Kuwaiti Telco Zain has been operating in South Sudan and is also set to restructure its operations in the country. Zain has pumped in $500 Million into the venture and says it will not pump in more money since the operations were not making a profi according to Bloomberg News.<br />
<br />
Zain on its part says the restructuring efforts will involve reorganization of its 88-strong workforce by cutting the number of foreign staff and hiring more locals. The telco will also focus on its operations in major towns and reducing the coverage in other non-core areas.<br />
<br />
Zain has a total of 288 sites in South Sudan and owing to increasing conflict, maintenance of these sites has becoming dangerous especially in far-flung areas.  Zain currently has 773,000 subscribers and was hoping to increase them to 1 Million by the end of the year.<br />
<br />
<br />
Early this year, MTN South Sudan made an announcement that it was scaling back on its operations in the nation despite pumping $170 Million dollars into it. The move by MTN included staff reduction measures from where the staff was set to reduce from 170 to around 80 employees MTN also suspended plans to lay infrastructures such as communication towers beside encouraging its 1.1 Million customers to make airtime purchases from bank transfers which would then eliminate distribution costs and the need to import airtime.

WhatsApp Gave Two Ways for You To Opt Out From Sharing Your Account Info

We tend to breeze past the terms and conditions of any application we install but there are hidden gems inside those lengthy publications. One of these “gems” can be found on WhatsApp’s Terms and Conditions and it involves yesterday’s decision by the company to share its data with its parent company, Facebook in order to serve ads.<br />

If you check WhatsApp’s FAQ’s, you can actually choose not to share your account with Facebook for the purpose of serving you ads. There are two ways of doing this:The first option is in the screen you are shown when you tap “Agree” to accept WhatsApp’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSA4BTBZ7c6hSfJjuGySntFcK4KWSr3xTY1X72JZY6GDCteO5XiEBCWFlUyTHcMA_jsughoq5UjtcN057QO7BDXTYoFpfEQKP6IClkzV-jkg243CJ6TspCdjvALBRQTh3Yj107bDjgGy74/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSA4BTBZ7c6hSfJjuGySntFcK4KWSr3xTY1X72JZY6GDCteO5XiEBCWFlUyTHcMA_jsughoq5UjtcN057QO7BDXTYoFpfEQKP6IClkzV-jkg243CJ6TspCdjvALBRQTh3Yj107bDjgGy74/s320/1.jpg" width="190" /></a></div><br />
Before you agree to WhatsApp terms, go and tap “Read More about the key updates to our Terms and Privacy Policy” which brings up the following message:<br />
<br />

If you uncheck that option of sharing your Whatsapp data with Facebook, your chats and phone number will not be shared with Facebook as per the company.<br />
<br />
The second option of preventing WhatsApp from sharing your data with Facebook involves going to your settings.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6ej2cQPOGPhxqJmwfMGUelO-v9YNra3xaIrq7ji3q9mFLnCw6csEQ39pzfNd3OU58NYRESSAydW-b4ZMG69OHJkLtC6kzW2_g1m-dzih9LEB-mkZ05rHGdd_9tsMB-y6fYWxIro0R04b2/s1600/share-my-account-info-with-facebook.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6ej2cQPOGPhxqJmwfMGUelO-v9YNra3xaIrq7ji3q9mFLnCw6csEQ39pzfNd3OU58NYRESSAydW-b4ZMG69OHJkLtC6kzW2_g1m-dzih9LEB-mkZ05rHGdd_9tsMB-y6fYWxIro0R04b2/s320/share-my-account-info-with-facebook.jpg" width="190" /></a></div><br />
When you go to Settings > Account > Share my account info, you will be able to uncheck that option of sharing your account information. Interesting enough, when you uncheck that option, WhatsApp bombards you with this notice:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0MDzOxgC-nKdtCekqjhFt0zmDtsBDPLPRVKl_Igp7FwW3i9mUNufGuxxVwKsJzsUHGprGJQXclEcXhY9ncHPSuERoG8omduwp8ZkwQ_ii13Hl3cGuNY_46fdvZ0qJ3lpWU7vVjxA7eoRB/s1600/photo_2016-08-26_12-23-02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0MDzOxgC-nKdtCekqjhFt0zmDtsBDPLPRVKl_Igp7FwW3i9mUNufGuxxVwKsJzsUHGprGJQXclEcXhY9ncHPSuERoG8omduwp8ZkwQ_ii13Hl3cGuNY_46fdvZ0qJ3lpWU7vVjxA7eoRB/s320/photo_2016-08-26_12-23-02.jpg" width="180" /></a></div><br />
The notice advises you in the event you uncheck the option, you will not be able to change this in the future which is frankly something you can live with. WhatsApp also explains that in the event you agreed to their updated terms and condition, you have 30 days to uncheck the “share my account info.”
