In what will be good news for mobile gamers, the latest Android Pie 9 will now be supporting Xbox One controllers. This indeed is really exciting news particularly for fans of the first-person shooter on mobile who have been using third-party game controllers to get an edge over their opponents. Android mobile gamers have since been unable to use Microsoft gamepads because of incorrect mapping. They have had to hold their phones and cover parts of the screen with their thumbs when playing games, in the process, harming the screen with sweat and dirt. Now two years later, someone at Google had figured out how to fix the bug so that Xbox One controller will play smoothly. Now mobile gamers can use the same Xbox controllers that their console and PC counterparts use.

Posted by Chris Iteh  Hi, we will be considering 9Mobile (formerly Etisalat) data plans for this month.  9Mobile has one of the most stable network connection in the country.

Storage has been one of the major problems people face when using the popular messaging service, WhatsApp. Whenever you are connected, you immediately start receiving photos and videos from your contacts that take up space on your handset. Even your conversations are automatically stored in the app. To help users free up space on their mobile devices, WhatsApp had suggested that they backup all their conversations, photos, and videos to the Internet cloud storage, Google Drive. However, this tends to take up some space on the cloud. So Google sent out an email to WhatsApp users announcing that they can now store all their data on Google Drive for free. The email reveals that the change is due to a new agreement with WhatsApp. Although, the transition has already begun, it will be by November 12 that the move will be fully implemented to everyone using WhatsApp. However, not all your backups will be saved on the cloud. Google said any packages that are more than a year old

For many nightcrawlers who depends on the cheap night browsing from MTN Pulse to download huge files and stream videos, it will come as a big disappointment for them to learn that MTN has just slashed its night data. MTN sent a broadcast to their subscribers about their intention to change the night browsing plan. Here's a full message that was sent. " Yello ! When you buy the Pulse night plan at N25 from 16/08/18 you now get 125MB. You also get 250MB for N50 and can make multiple purchases. Dial *406# to buy."
