    How To Share WhatsApp Group Link

    Within just a short time frame, WhatsApp has grown to become one of the most popular texts and voice messaging applications in the world. It has over 1 billion active users in 180 countries all over the world.

    One of the reasons why it is used by most people is that the data charges are very low as compared to the other social media platforms. Also, it saves the high cost that you would have paid when calling numbers outside your home country.

    With WhatsApp, people can chat you only when they have your mobile number. This is far different from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and all the other social media platforms where people can just see you at random.

    Thus, the rate of spam messages on WhatsApp is very low when compared to its neighbours like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.

    WhatsApp groups are one of the interesting features we have on the WhatsApp apps. Here, you can chat with all your friends, family, or relatives in one place.

    Once the group is created, it’s only the Admin(s) who can be able to add new members to the group. By default, the Admin of a WhatsApp group is the person who created the group.

    But, you can also add new Admins to the group. Or in the case where the Admin exit the group, WhatsApp will automatically choose someone as the Admin.

    Can you imagine if the Admin needs to add 100 new members to the group? That will be very stressful right? 

    But that doesn’t have to happen, with just a simple WhatsApp, everyone who is interested in joining the group can join without any effort by the Admin to save their contact and then add them to the group.

    How To Share WhatsApp Group

    Here are the steps you need to follow to share a WhatsApp group link. You can share the link on WhatsApp, Facebook, SMS, Email, or any other method you might find helpful.

    1. First of all, open the WhatsApp app on your device.
    2. Scroll through and tap on the group whose link you will like to share.
    3. Once the chat opens, tap on the name of the group on the upper part of the screen.
    4. Scroll to the middle part of the screen and click on Invite to Group via Link below Add Participants
    5. Now, you choose whether to share the link or to copy the link to the clipboard.

    NOTE: Please note that only Admins can use the method shown above. If you are not an admin, ask your admin to follow the steps above and then share the link with you. Once you get it, then you can also share it with the person you want to invite to the group.

  • Has 2020 Shown That Technology Is The Future of The World?

    Has 2020 Shown That Technology Is The Future of The World?

    31st December 2019 was just like any other 31st December Night in Ghana, Africa, and the world at large. In Ghana, 31st December is termed as “Church Reunion” by many people.

    This is because it is the day all those who haven’t been to church throughout the year decide to go and thank God for the year that has passed and usher themselves into the new year. In the evening of 31st December, we all went to church or bed anticipating the new year that was coming, 2020.

    Just a few weeks after we entered 2020, there was rumour spreading that there is a deadly disease wiping Chinese citizens and those living in China. Initially, we all taught it was just a joke and that it will vanish in a few weeks.

    Soon after that, we all heard that the disease has begun spreading to other parts of the world. This was when everyone became alert that the disease is real and that it was killing people.

    Somewhere in March, Ghana recorded its first two cases of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). A few days later, the president announced the shutting down of schools and social gatherings in all parts of the country.

    During this period, we all taught we were just going to experience this for a few months and then things will get back to normal. But that didn’t happen, as you can see we are still living in the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Once schools closed and social gatherings were put on hold, the next thing that followed was the shutting down of borders; both sea and land, and the airports. Next, the almighty lockdown was imposed on some parts of the country.

    While businesses, schools, companies, churches, and others were closed down, one thing remained active, and that is technology. Below are some of the most common technologies that were used vibrantly throughout 2020:

    Online Learning/E-learning

    Because students especially those in the tertiary level and private institutions had already paid their school fees before schools were shut down, they all had to migrate to online learning. In the beginning, some schools were finding it difficult to cope but after some time they all picked up.

    Some schools already had e-learning systems so they didn’t actually suffer. Also, some schools didn’t have anything like that so they had to build e-learning systems and so they suffered a little.

    Through e-learning almost all public and private tertiary institutions were able to finish their syllabus and semester peacefully. This also made parents who were working from home a little bit relieved; all of which wouldn’t have been possible if not for technology.

    Remote Working

    Similar to the schools, businesses and other companies also had to close their offices and office complexes to reduce the risks to their workers. Once they shut down, they all adapted to the remote working system.

    With remote working, workers can do the normal work they would have done if they were at the office. This time around, with little or no supervision and also without risking the lives of themselves or their loved ones.

    Conferences are now done on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and other video conferencing tools. Even with these tools, workers can be working and having the meeting at the same time; unlike the physical working that they would have had to move from one location to the other.

    E-commerce And Courier Services

    Shops and malls were only allowing a few buyers at the same time. Even with that, the risk of you contracting the virus was high because you didn’t know who had touched the product before you.

    Because of that, everyone migrated to e-commerce and courier services. With the e-commerce and courier services, all you had to do was to order the product and then get it delivered to you at your doorstep.

    The courier services were fast, a little bit cheap, and risk-free. Because of this, people didn’t have to risk their lives in long queues just to buy goods.

    Facebook Live Church Services

    As the Bible says, “the word of God is a lamp to our feet…” therefore, even though there was COVID-19, church services still had to continue. As a result, churches had to adopt the Facebook Live method of having church services.

    In terms of payment of offerings and tithes, mobile money and fintech services were used. Thus, pastors just had to prepare their sermon and then share it with their congregation on Facebook using the Facebook Live feature.

    Online Blogs And News Portals

    Finally, one of the services that were used a lot in 2020 was reading online blogs and news portals. This was as a result of the easy accessibility and the no-risk attached to it.

    Unlike the newspapers where they had to buy and read the news that happened the previous day, they were kept updated on the news portal and the online blogs. Although this caused financial loss to some of the newspaper agencies, they all migrated to the online services.

    Conclusion

    In conclusion, I want you to take a little time and reflect on the services I have listed above and ask yourself whether life in the pandemic would have been or worse without these technologies.

    After thinking about it, you will notice that without these technologies, life in the pandemic would have been very worse. Therefore 2020 has revealed to us that, technology is indeed the future of the world.

  • 5 Fact-Checking Tools For Checking Facts And Fake News

    5 Fact-Checking Tools For Checking Facts And Fake News

    Misinformation is one of the many problems we have with online news portals. Mostly, the reason why they give out fake news is as a result of them being eager to break the news first or just to drive attention to their news portal.

    These portals may see this as a normal thing but in actual sense, there are a lot of people who depend on these portals for their daily news stories.

    Instead of these portals to take their time, research, and then fact check the story before they bring it out, they all ignore these processes and write the news the way they heard.

    Due to the high rate of fake news in Ghana and the world at large, there are some online tools you can use to check facts and detect fake news.

    5 Fact-Checking Tools For Checking Facts And Fake News

    There are several fact-checking tools available on the internet. But, in this article, I am going to show you some 5 of them which have been tried and tested by many people all over the world.

    Google Fact Check

    Google as we all know is the biggest search engine in the world. As a result, almost everyone searches for their news and article from Google. This is the reason why Google has developed their personal fact-checking tool called Google Fact Check.

    Google Fact Check is a feature introduced to Google search results which indicate when a search result is deemed worthy of the label “fact check”. This is done by checking the criteria set by third-parties like PoliFact, Snopes, etc.

    What Google does is that they provide a link to these third-party sites and indicate whether that site deemed the information true or false. In addition to these third-party sites, Google also collaborates with all the top news companies in the world.

    International Fact-Checking Network (WhatsApp Number: +17272912606)

    WhatsApp is one of the leading social media platforms that is used daily. In Ghana alone, over 1 million people use WhatsApp daily. Also, WhatsApp is one of the most used means of sharing news in the world.

    Because of that, there is a fake checker bot on WhatsApp. The name of this company is International Fact-Checking Network; an umbrella organization for fact-checkers around the world.

    All you have to do is to save the WhatsApp number above and then follow the options that they provide. Since it is a chatbot, it will give you instructions on how to ask whether a certain news article is true or false.

    Fact Check Ghana

    Fact Check Ghana is Ghana’s own fact-checking tool that is used to check whether news or article is fake or genuine. This tool or site was developed by the Media Foundation for West Africa to combat the spread of fake news in Ghana.

    On this site, you can see controversial news stories that have been regarded as fake news and those that have been fact-checked. The ones that has been fact-checked, you will find fact-checked under the story or article.

    The categories on this website are Politics, Economy, Education, Health, and Monthly Round-ups. Also, you can listen to their podcast on SoundCloud (there is a link to the podcast on their website).

    GhanaFact

    GhanaFact is Ghana’s Independent Fact-checking platform for checking facts and detecting fake news.

    On this website, you will find fake news and those that have been fact-checked. The fake news has the prefix “FAKE” and those that have been fact-checked have the prefix “FACT-CHECKED”.

    If you have a claim you wish to submit for GhanaFact to check for you, you first of all click on the three horizontal lines on the homepage of GhanaFact and then click on “Submit a claim to check”. Or, send your claim to the WhatsApp number +233244499971 and they will fact-check the claim and get back to you as soon as possible.

    Dubawa

    The last fact-checking tool on our list is Dubawa. Dubawa is an international fact-checking tool created to help combat the spread of fake news in the world.

    Just like all the fact-checking tools on our list today, you can also check for facts and fake news on Dubawa. They played a major role in the combatting of fake news in the 2020 General Elections in Ghana.

    Head over to Dubawa and check your facts and let’s all help combat the spread of fake news in and out of Ghana.

  • How To Sign Up For Apple Beta And Try Out New Software

    How To Sign Up For Apple Beta And Try Out New Software

    Apple is one of the leading software developers in the world. They develop applications for the Apple iPhone, Watch, iPad, Mac, and TV.

    In addition to that, they also develop software for the Apple iPhone, Watch, iPad, Mac, and TV.

    In their quest to develop quality software and apps, Apple has launched the Apple Beta to help individuals try out pre-release software on all the Apple devices and then share their feedback on this software.

    In this article, I am going to show you how the Apple Beta works, and how you can also join to test new software directly from Apple. But before we proceed, you need to have an Apple device before you can join the Apple Beta program.

    Apple is known to be releasing new software almost twice or more in a year. If you have ever wanted to be among the first people to try out any new Apple software, then this is your chance to do exactly that.

    What is the Apple Beta Software Program?

    • iOS
    • iPadOS
    • macOS
    • tvOS

    The whole idea behind this program is for you to install the pre-release software and use it on your device and then give your feedback to Apple using the built-in Feedback Assistant. The feedback includes (but not limited to) crashes or other behavioural challenges you encounter.

    There are two options available, the Public and the Developer. The only difference being that the Developer options have some technical options for the developers. The Developers are registered developers on Apple’s Developer Program and you can enroll on that for $99 every year.

    How To Sign Up For Apple Beta And Download Your Beta Software

    To sign up for the Apple Beta program, you need to be above 18 years and must have an Apple ID. Also, you need to have any of the Apple devices listed above. Finally, you need to accept the confidentiality agreement where you agree not to share any screenshot with anyone.

    Once you are done, follow the steps listed below:

    • Go to the Apple Beta program page and click the Sign Up icon.
    • Next, you’ll be asked to enter your Apple ID, after which you will reach the page for the Guide for Public Beta.
    • Select the device you use and then scroll down the Get Started section and click on the Enroll your device option.
    • Next, click on Download the Profile and wait for it to install.

    Whenever there’s new beta software, Apple will send you a notification for you to download and then give your feedback.

    At any point, if you decide to unenroll, you can visit the Unenroll page and then end your participation.

    Features of the Redmi Note 9

    Every time I hear that a new phone has been released, one of the things I look out for is the gaming experience and the processor. The Note 9 is equipped with a high-end octa-core processor that can clock a maximum speed of 2GHz.

    If you are a gamer or someone who loves playing games on your mobile phone, the Redmi Note 9 has a GPU frequency of 1000MHz that makes your gaming experience second to none. Being in sports, action, adventure, or any type of game, the Redmi Note 9 has you covered.

    48MP Quad Camera Arrangement + 13MP Selfie Camera

    At the back of the Redmi Note 9, you will find the beautiful quad-camera layout with a flashlight next to it. The primary 48MP sensor can take outstanding photos no matter the time of the day.

    The three remaining cameras, the wide-angle, macro, and depth respectively, always ensures your photo is as perfect as it could ever be. Although nothing is perfect, these three (3) cameras are made to assist the primary camera to deliver the beautiful result you wish for.

    Aside from these three sensors working together as a unit, they all have specific duties they perform. The 8MP ultra-wide sensor can now capture panoramic photos with a 118-degrees field of view. The 2MP depth sensor helps to achieve the right amount of depth of field to deliver a beautiful photo. Finally, with the 2MP Macro lens, you capture everything in detail.

    The front of the screen houses the 13MP front (selfie) camera. The selfie camera has several features that make it unique from some of the rest; these include adjust background blur, AI Beautify, Special effect, etc.

    Powerful 5020mAh Battery

    The battery powering the Redmi Note 9 is a massive 5020mAh battery with the mileage you’ve never seen in the Redmi Note series. Also, the battery has a fast-charging system and supports 9W wired reverse charging.

    The battery can last for 171 hours of non-stop music playback, 34 hours of calling, 14 hours of continuous navigation, and 12 hours of active gaming. This is very huge as compared to some of the leading smartphones in the world.

    6.53” FHD+ DotDisplay

    The Note 9 has one of the largest screen displays in the world (correct me if I’m wrong). Due to the notch-less DotDisplay design, you have a big-screen interface for what you may use it for.

    For gamers, photo lovers, and those who use their phones for meetings, you have enough space to do exactly that. All you have a clear view of what you are looking for as a result of the 2340 x 1080 pixels resolution and a pixel density of 395ppi (pixel per inch).
