Welcome to the new year. Last year we saw a lot of situations going on in the mobile world, especially 9Mobile Telecoms, previously known as Etisalat. Because of bad debts, they lost their main investors and then had to change their name. Currently, they are in the brink of being sold to pay back their debts. All in all, they've tried in providing good network. In fact they have one of the most stable and fast network connection in the country. But unfortunately, they are also known for their unconventional high pricing of Data Plans, and their data tends to wind up quickly which have been a major turn off for many Nigerians. Still one must admit that since they changed their name, they've done a good job in providing good Internet network that is even better than the mighty Mtn. If you want to enjoy fast network connection, then I suggest that you consider carefully this article on 9mobile data plans for January as they presently have one of the most reliable network

In the past, when we want to make a banking transaction, we had to go to directly to the bank.

In September, Apple decided to end support for 32-bit apps in its iOS 11 in favour of 64-bit apps. Now Google has announced that they too will be requiring all Android apps to be built in a 64-bit framework in the future. Fortunately for developers and users, they have until August of 2019 to make the switch. After that, all 32-bit apps will no longer receive support from Google. Google thinks that this move will be an improvement for the platform's security performance as a whole. They explained that apps using "64-bit code typically offers significantly better performance, with additional registers and new instructions." Google also announced that it will be introducing new security feature that can prove if a certain app was genuinely downloaded through the Google Play Store. Iy is hoped that this feature may help reduce malware downloads., thus produce produce a more stable and uniform Google Play Store experience. How do you see this new guidelines?

Every year end, Google customarily share a list of the best and the most popular apps and content from the Google Play store, and this year is no different.

Since the beginning of the year, Instagram have been adding a lot of new features to its app. Now as part of their latest update, they have added a "add a comment" button below posts that enables you to type and send a comment without having to leave your main feed. With this new feature, making comments on photos/videos will become much easier and convenient. Previously, Android users had to tap on the comment icon to get to the comments section before they share their feelings or opinions on a picture or video. Though this process seems cool, making a comment without having to leave your main feed is a way cooler. The new feature though seems to be a bit buggy at the moment as the button shows up and works fine on some posts, but it's just nowhere to be seen on others. Instagram first started rolling out this new comment button to Apple's iOS last month. Now Android is getting a feel of it. With this redesign, you would now be able to easily make comment

Google's voice-activated virtual helper, Google Assistant, is coming soon to phones running Android 5.0 Lollipop and tablets running Android 7.0 Nougat and 6.0 Marshmallow. This will certainly be good news for those who have been hoping to benefit from this feature, for Google’s Assistant has only been available on most newer and modern Android devices they have built-in support for the Assistant. On the other hand, older phones and tablets cannot easily run the Assistant since their Android versions are not baked right into their launcher. So you’ll have to launch the Google Assistant app before you can start it ask for directions, the weather, of any help you need. Android 5.0 Lollipop has been available since 2014, which makes it an old operating system, since Android 8.1 Oreo is now latest version. But according to Google, more than 26 percent of all Android devices still run some version of Android 5.0 Lollipop. While just over 30 percent run Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

Google has launched a lighter version of its Android Oreo called "Android Oreo Go". This is a data-saving, storage-saving operating system optimized for cheaper smartphones. The new operating system was first released in India last Tuesday in an attempt to woo millions of basic phone users in the fast-growing mobile market. This new lightweight version of Oreo can work on any device with a memory as low as 512MB. It contains several features that will apparently help apps to load up to 15% faster and save a lot of data, while still offering all the same security features as that of the newly released Android 8.1. The features includes performance and storage improvements, a new set of lightweight Google apps and a special version of the Google Play Store that highlights the apps designed to work well on low memory smartphone devices.

Finally, the new and improved Android operating system is now live, and Google's own phones will be the first beneficiaries. Google just recently unveiled the new Android Oreo 8.1 along with a ton of new developer tools. The most important of these tools is the Neural Networks API, which will help developers incorporate machine learning into their apps. With the new API, developers can train apps to do things like classify images, predict user behavior, and respond to queries. There are also some smaller changes, such as the display of the battery levels of connected Bluetooth devices on the Bluetooth settings, and several redesigned emoji. Android 8.1 will start rolling out to Pixel and any recent Nexus devices. That specifically includes the Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel C, Nexus 5X, or Nexus 6P. But the biggest beneficiaries of the new update could be the cheap smartphones, as Google has introduced a lightweight version of the Android Oreo (Go

Google is taking new measures designed to protect Android users' privacy. Just recently the search engine giant put a ban on apps that display ads on your phone's lock screen which can potentially trick users into downloading unwanted software or sharing data that they don’t want to. Now Google is cracking down on snooping apps that collect users data without their consent. The company will also warn off users from websites that lead to offending apps that violates its policies. Google's Safe Browsing team unveiled stricter rules on how apps collect a user’s data. Under the new policy, apps that collects and transmits users' data that is unrelated to the functionality of the app must first provide their privacy policy, showing how the data will be used, and ask users for permission to share their data like phone number, email or location. Interestingly enough, apps downloaded outside of the Play Store are also subject to this policy too. No matter where it com
