    Since 2018, MTN Mobile Money has integrated with Google Payments so that you can purchase apps and other Google Products and Services via mobile money.

    In a country where a lot of individuals do not have a bank account, and with the difficulty of getting credit cards and debit cards to work for online transactions, the push to integrate mobile money with Google Payments on mobile is laudable.

    To enjoy the service, you must have your MTN Mobile Money registered SIM in the phone you are registering on, and make sure you are in your preferred Google Account.

    6. After confirmation, fill in your Name, Street Address and City
    7. Click Save to complete the process
    8. Once done, you can now start buying apps and games on the Play Store.

    Find below screenshots of the process:

    • 44Open your Google Play and tap on account
    • Choose Payment Options
    • Click on “Use MTN Mobile Billing”
    • Input your details and confirm

    Kindly note that you only need to complete this process once and after that, you will be able to buy apps and games from the Play Store as long as you have enough funds in your MTN MoMo account.

    For those who can not access the settings in the Google Play Store, just go your android phone’s main Settings, go to Accounts, open Google Settings, choose Account Preferences and add Payment Methods.

    It should work just fine if you have your MTN Sim inserted.

    Conclusion

    It is very easy now to buy your favourite apps or make your App Subscriptions via MTN Mobile Money.

    The feature is currently not available to Apple and Windows users (those who are left). Hopefully, it is integrated into the App Store in the future.

  • How to tell if someone has deleted their Snapchat 

    How to tell if someone has deleted their Snapchat 

    Snapchat is a social messaging app where you can connect with people not just around you but all over the world for either business or social purposes.

    On Snapchat, your friends send you videos and pictures of their daily activities and likewise you. This platform helps you connect with new friends worldwide and share fun stuff going on in your lives. One different thing about Snapchat is that nothing you post on the app is permanent. Messages, videos, and pictures you send get deleted right after the viewer sees them. It makes things safer on the platform.

    Sometimes you may be caught up in a moment, and you want to share fun stuff with someone, luckily you won’t wake up with your stuff all around the media thanks to Snapchat features. But like features on every technology, there’s a way around it.

    The app offers you video and photo editing tools that make it possible for you to add the beautiful touch you want to your pictures and videos.

    Some people have heard of Snapchat but haven’t used it before and don’t know what fun one can have. In this article, I will discuss how to use Snapchat and how to tell if someone has blocked you or deleted her Snapchat account. 

    How To Use Snapchat 

    To use Snapchat, first, you need to have a smartphone that supports the app. And it has a front camera. Once you have a smartphone that supports the app, you’re good to go. Follow these steps on how to download and start using Snapchat. 

    • After downloading it, you sign up with your email, date of birth, and name.
    • You’ll be given a Snapchat handle, or you’ll create your handle. That’s how your friends can find you when they want to add you on Snapchat too.
    • Now you’re ready to begin using Snapchat. You can start by taking a picture to edit and share. To do this, you can tap on the camera circle and take a snap using any of the filters you want.
    • After taking the pic, you can use the photo editing tools to picture a new look and share it with your story. This will last for up to 24 hours.

    How To Add Friends On Snapchat

    There are few ways you can add friends on Snapchat. You can either search for the person using their Snapchat handle or add them from being tagged on another person’s snap story.

    You can also tap on your snap profile and hit the friends button to select friends you want to add. You choose to add only people you know or add random people to and add as many as you want.

    Another way of adding people is by clicking pictures of the “Snapcode’” that shows up beside their name. Every user has this as a unique feature.

    Once you add your friends, you’ll get to see their snap stories anytime they post on their accounts. One unique part about Snapchat is that whatever you do with a friend’s chat or snap story will be communicated to them. Maybe you might see a picture on their account which you’d love to save but can’t unless you take a screenshot.

    If you do so, the person will be told you’ve taken a screenshot of their snap story. Or, in a chat with the person, screenshots are also reported to them. That’s why you need to take such precautions when using Snapchat. 

    How To Know If Someone has deleted their Snapchat account

    Anyone you add will show on your friends’ list and chats list. So for anyone’s snap name or handle to disappear from your account, then it means you unfriended the person yourself or the person has deleted his account, sometimes you might think the person has blocked, but it might not be. So how do you tell if someone deleted his Snapchat account? 

    Check your current list

    First, you can search through your chats and friends list thoroughly to be sure. Maybe you’ve added a lot of people or texted a lot of people since you last texted the particular person in question, so her name might have gone down the list.

    So to be very sure, scroll down thoroughly if you don’t remember their snap handle, and if you still can’t find it, there’s one last way to be sure they’ve deleted the account and not blocked you.

    You can create a new Snapchat account to check

    You can create a new Snapchat account and not tell anyone about it or add anyone. Search for the person’s username and insert it in the search button. If nothing pops up, then it means the person has deleted their Snapchat and not blocked you.

    Conclusion

    So these are some of the things you should know about Snapchat if you already use the app and don’t these things or you’re yet to check out the app.

    t’s an exciting platform with a lot of fun. Know when it’s appropriate to take a screenshot of other people’s posts and know what to do when you feel like someone has blocked you or deleted their Snapchat account. 

  • Snapchat score: How to calculate & tricks to gain a higher snap score

    Snapchat score: How to calculate & tricks to gain a higher snap score

    Snapchat has become one of the most used social media in the world. A lot of top personalities use it to update their followers on their daily activities.

    They take snaps every day, sharing pictures and videos of themselves. For every social media platform, your number of followers or friends determines your influence on the platform. But for Snapchat, followers are not shown except you’re subscribed to the Snapchat public profile to have subscribers.

    If you’re not on a public profile, you’ll only have your Snapchat score to show your influence on the platform. Your snap score is the result of how you use the app. If you’re someone who doesn’t use the app that much, your snap score will be relatively low. But regular users have a very high snap score. Many people have wondered how the snap score is calculated, but the truth is the Snapchat score algorithm is not known.

    We don’t know how it’s calculated, but we can add a few things with the knowledge we have on Snapchat scores. In this article, we will talk about what the Snapchat score is and a few things to do if you want to increase it. 

    How To Check Your Snapscore

    To check your snap score, you need to open your Snapchat app and make sure it’s your account. Now tap on your profile on the top left right after you open the app. When you tap on the profile, you’ll see your profile and a figure below it. That figure is your Snapchat score. Tap on the figure, and the figure will split in two. The figure on the left is the snap you’ve sent, and the one on the right is the snaps you’ve received. You can also check your friends’ Snapchat score by tapping, and their Snap score will also be at the same place yours is, below the profile. 

    Things To Do If You Want To Increase Your Snap Score

    Send snaps often to your friends

    Your snap score increases by a point every time you send a snap. If you stay away from Snapchat and you return, you’ll get 6 points for coming back. All you have to do is send snaps very often. For every story you post on your Snapchat, you get a point.

     Send different snaps to multiple friends

    You receive a point for each snap you send to a friend. That means if you select ten friends and send three snaps to each of them, you’ll be getting 30 points for that. After you make a snap, it could be a pictured video. Please tap on the yellow button to either post it on your story or send them to your friends. You can choose to post it on your story and send it to your friends. After you tap on the yellow button which says “send to,” select the friends you want to send the snap to and send it to them, send it to your friends.

    Open all unread snaps

    Sometimes you think the snaps your friends are sending you are unnecessary, so you don’t bother to open them. Well, if you want to increase your score, you need to open your snap messages because you receive a point for every snap you open. You can check it out if you doubt it. Open a snap and check your score to see if it increased by one.

    Frequently update your story with snaps

    You receive a point for every snap you post on your story. You get points for the views, too, if you post a snap.

    For this reason, you should post snaps often on your story if you want to increase your snap score.

    Avoid using direct messages to communicate with friends

    You don’t get any points for messages you send or receive. So if you want to communicate with your friends, you can be creative enough to take snaps of your texts and send them to your friends. Remember, the main goal is to increase your snap score, so you have to do all the necessary things to improve it.

    Conclusion

    So basically, there’s no trick to it. All you have to do is use your Snapchat frequently and make snaps. Your snap score is going to increase very much. Send snaps to friends, make snaps of moments you have to create memories.

    The often you make snaps and share, the higher your snap score gets. Avoid all apps and software that tell you they can help you increase your snap score. As I said earlier that the Snapchat score algorithm.

    Update: As at 20:51 GMT on Monday, 26th July 2021, the call services seem to have been restored for a lot of customers.

    A lot of MTN customers on the evening of Monday, 26th July 2021, have been complaining that they are unable to make calls to other MTN numbers. The first complaint came to me at 19:27 GMT.

    I tried calling 4 different MTN numbers and the call just drops.

    Although this is a general issue, correspondence on MTN Ghana’s Twitter account seems to tackle it “individually”.

    Hopefully, MTN Ghana resolves the issue so we can all go back to making calls. Do well to check out MTN’s Mashup offer if you make a lot of calls.

  • 6 of the best Android tricks worth exploring right now

    6 of the best Android tricks worth exploring right now

    The Android is the most convenient and simple operating globally, which is why many smartphone users prefer Android to iOS.

    Its simple nature allows you to explore the phone’s features really well. It has been a trustworthy and reliable operating system ever since it was introduced in 2003. 

    Screen pinning

    This is tricky as designed to prevent nosy people who like to check more stuff on your phones when you give them to check something.

    We’ve all been in situations where you give your phone to someone to read something or view something on it, and they end up opening other apps on the phone and checking your personal stuff. If you give your phone to someone and don’t want them to snoop around other apps, just “pin the screen”.

    This feature is sometimes enabled by default in our phones, but you can turn it on in the Security menu if you don’t have it enabled. Tap the app icon on any app in the multitasking interface and select “Pin” to prevent them from switching apps.

    You can also add your PIN to this feature to protect the switching of apps. Also, note that this feature enables you to split-screen and pause the app’s notifications.

    Boost your memory storage

    Well, this is an amazing trick that many users have been grateful for ever since the introduction of android phones.

    Also, definitely a feature many IOS users are jealous of. Imagine boosting your storage when you sense it’s getting full. To do this, you simply have to buy micro SD and insert it in your phone and store more data and media on it.

    This is a luxury iPhone users do not enjoy; with iPhones, when your phone’s memory gets full, that’s it. Either you change the phone or free up space by deleting many data and media from your phone.

    Bring back lost notifications

    Sometimes you’re trying to clear a particular notification.

    Then you end up removing one that you didn’t plan on clearing. Mostly that notification was still there because you had not read it yet, but you were a bit busy, so you were planning to read it later, but then it’s gone now. And to avoid the stress of going through all your apps trying to find the notification you didn’t get a chance to read, what do you do?

    You’re in luck because a trick has been discovered where you can long-press and hold on to your home screen to show up in the screen-adjusting mode. Now, tap on widgets and look for the Settings shortcut widget, which looks like a basic settings gear.

    Next, drag it to somewhere on your home screen, which will be followed by a popup list allowing you to choose from essential shortcuts like accessibility, app info, battery, devices, battery, memory, etc.

    Just search for the option named “notification log” and select it, which will enable you to view previous notifications from all the apps and the time you received them.

    Use your LED flash and camera to monitor your heart rate

    This is one of the most innovative tricks I’ve seen in a smartphone yet. This is because I’m a very health-conscious person.

    Monitoring pulses using the camera is a really cool feature. There are quite a several apps available that can help you monitor your pulse rate.

    The ones that actually work require your finger to be placed on the LED flash. The app uses the camera to track colour changes under your skin to monitor the amount of blood passing.

    It is very logical and understandable if you don’t expect total accuracy from these apps as you know they are dependent.

    Track your android smartphone

    Have you been in a situation where you lost your phone and couldn’t get it back? Now, new android versions have come with google find my device service to help track our phones when they get missing.

    Almost every Android smartphone user has signed in to google on their phone. The good thing with the google “find my device” app is that it automatically turns on once you sign your google account.

    So anytime you lose an Android device, search android.com/find in any browser and log in with the same Google account.

    Now, you can see the location of your device and can further erase all the data remotely, lock it down with a message or make it ring loud (even if it’s in silent mode), provided that your lost device has access to the internet and location is on.

    Improve your status bar

    If you want to be a bit creative with your status bar and add and remove some features, you can do that without downloading a third-party app. You can simply do all that with the “system IU turner”.

    To enable the “system IU turner, you have to hold the settings button present in the Notification toggle menu. Upon doing that, the gear icon will start rotating, followed by a toast message confirming that the System UI tuner has been enabled.

    After that, you can see the System UI tuner menu in the settings app, where you’ll customize the icons and how you want them to appear in the status bar, like indications for orientation, networks, headphones. You can further add more features like “do not disturb”, a, calculator and the screenshot feature if it’s available on your phone.

    Conclusion

    The simplicity of our mobile phones is what we live for. To be able to do simple but amazing things with our mobile phones is everything technology stands for.

    Android operating has built a good brand worldwide by surprising us year after with amazing new innovations. Sometimes tech developers discover these amazing tricks in our phones. These are tricks many of us have been wishing were there all along, like screen pinning.

    We’ve all been in such situations where we really don’t want a person to switch the apps and open your gallery or WhatsApp when they’re with your phone. But better late than never, it’s here now, and I hope everyone utilizes these amazing tricks on their phones. 

  • How to instantly share WiFi Password on Android and iOS

    How to instantly share WiFi Password on Android and iOS

    Sharing WiFi passwords is a risky move, and care needs to be taken in such situations. Maybe you have friends around who don’t have a data bundle on their phones, so you want to share your data with them via WiFi.

    In this case, you might not want to give out your password for security reasons. This is why software has been introduced to share WiFi connections without actually sharing the password.

    Both Android and iOS have come up with simple and safe ways to share your WiFi without necessarily sharing your password visibly.

    In this article, I’ll discuss sharing passwords from one iPhone to another and from an iPhone to an Android phone.

    The main aim is to make sure the receiver doesn’t visibly see your WiFi password but still gets your WiFi password information on his phone to connect to your network. 

    How to share passwords from iPhone to iPhone

    To do this, Make sure WiFi and Bluetooth have turned on both the host and receiving device. Also, to ensure this is successful, you need to add the receivers Apple ID to your phone and vice versa. After this is done, your device will be ready to share its WiFi password with the other device. 

    On the receiving device;

    Step 3: Go to Choose A Network and select the WiFi network you want to connect.

    On the host device;

    Step 1: You would see an alert pop up asking if you want to Share Your WiFi.

    Step 2: select send password 

    Step 3: Your phone will share access to the WiFi network with the requesting phone. 

    Step 4: tap “done”. 

    How to share passwords from an iPhone to an Android Phone

    Because both devices are using different operating systems, this is going to take a different approach. This process is a bit complicated, so you should take care to avoid mistakes. First, you need to know that this process requires a third-party app, the QR CODE generator, to be successful. Below are the steps to take to make sure you successfully and safely share your WiFi password from your iPhone to an Android phone. 

    Step 1: Install a QR code generator on your iPhone to create codes based on your WiFi settings.

    Step 2: start the visual codes app

    Step 3: tap on “Add codes” 

    Step 4: At the bottom of the screen, tap Connect to WiFi.

    Step 5: Type the network’s name in the “name” option. 

    Step 6: Type the WiFi password, and tap the correct security type (it’s almost always WPA).

    Step 7: Type a memorable name for this WiFi connection in the Label field.

    Step 8: tap create code

    Step 9: Your new code will appear on the Codes page as part of a list along with any other codes you create for other WiFi networks. Tap an entry to display its QR code.

    Step 10: On the Android phone, start the camera and position the phone to scan the code.

    Step 11: When the WiFi network pop-up message appears, tap it to connect automatically to the network. And the iPhone’s WiFi password has successfully been shared with you. 

    Sharing a password between iPhones and Android phones is the same and vice versa.

    Whatever process you do for the iPhone when it’s the host phone should also be done for the Android phone when it’s the host sharing their password information.

    Install a QR CODE on the host device and create a code, as I’ve discussed above. It’s not a simple process but very easy to go about it when you follow the steps. 

    How To Share Password Between Two Android Phones

    Like sharing a WiFi password between an iPhone and an Android, sharing a WiFi password between Android devices also requires a QR CODE generator to share their password. But there’s a simple way to share password details on Android devices just by a few taps without QR CODES. The method is called the “nearby share method”. 

    To do this, make sure “nearby sharing” is enabled on both phones. Below are steps to take after doing that to share WiFi details with nearby Android devices. 

    Step 1: Open Settings on the host device. 

    Step 2: tap on network and internet and then select WiFi. 

    Step 3: Next, tap and select the connected WiFi network.

    Step 4:Tap on the Share option with a QR Code icon.

    Step 5: On the next page, tap on Nearby Share below the QR Code and your WiFi password.

    Step 6: Your device will then search for available devices.

    Step 7:Tap on the device you want to share the WiFi password to when found.

    Step 8: On the other device, tap Accept, and the device will automatically get connected to the WiFi network.

    The whole idea of giving another person complete visible access to your WiFi password sounds very risky in a lot of ways. The person can connect to the network with the login details they got from you and make substantial downloads with your network, disturbing you, considering the data might get exhausted.

    The methods I’ve discussed above are very safe to share your password details without the person necessarily seeing your actual password details. These are simple ways to avoid any drama and confrontation later after you’ve shared the password. 

  • How to track a missing Android Device or iPhone

    How to track a missing Android Device or iPhone

    Losing your mobile phone is a painful experience considering the amount of data people put on their phones and the prices of such phones.

    But luckily, softwares have been developed to help find missing phones very quickly these days.

    For iPhones, it’s even a bit simpler as there’s an inbuilt default that’s used to help track lost phones. The find “My iPhone” app comes in very handy. Most devices these days have inbuilt features that can help you locate your phone with ease.

    Most users also don’t know how to go about such functions on their phones, so this article is to help users who don’t know how to go about the features on their phones to find their phones. And also for android users who want to learn how to locate iPhones if they ever use one. 

    How to track your iPhone, Mac, or iPad when it goes missing

    Despite the complex nature of IOS devices, their creators have put things to make sure their users’ phones are found. This feature can find your device, whether it’s offline or online. If you’ve enabled the Find My iPhone feature in the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad, you can use Find My to locate the missing device, even if it’s powered down or the battery’s dead. To enable “find my iPhone” on your phone, locate the app and tap on turn on “find my iPhone “. Below are steps on how to set up the Find my iPhone feature.

     Step 5: Select Find My iPhone.

    Step 6: Toggle on “Find my iPhone” 

    Step 7: Tap ok

    Making sure your Find my iPhone feature is always turned on is very important. Without the feature turned, you can’t find your iPhone when it gets missing.

    You’ll be unable to find your iPhone because this is the feature that Apple will use to find your phone when it gets lost. You can use another iOS device to locate your phone, but your phone will be found only if the Find my iPhone feature is turned on.

    Your iPhone can be found even if it’s turned off, although you won’t be able to see a real-time location. If it’s off, you’ll be directed to where last your phone was before it went off. But it’s offline, that is; if the data is off, you’ll be directed to the phone’s current location.

    How to find your iPhone using the “Find My iPhone” feature on a different iOS device like an iPad. 

    Step 1: Open the Find My app on your friend’s iPhone.

    Step 2: select “Me” 

    Step 3: Tap “help a friend”

    Step 4: You will be asked to log into iCloud. Suppose prompted to log in using Touch or Face ID, select Use Different Apple ID.

    Step 5: Log in using your iCloud ID and password.

    Step 6: When prompted to save your password, select Not Now.

    Step 7: You can now follow the steps in the previous section to locate your missing iPhone.

    Step 8: When you’re finished, tap your name on the top right of your friend’s iPhone in their Find My app.

    Step 9: select sign-out. 

    How to track your Android Phone when it gets missing

    For android phones, there are also tools built into every Android phone that make it possible to lock and track down a lost phone without difficulty. 

    How to use Google Find my device to find your Android phone.

    With android phones, anytime you create a google account and sign in, find my device is automatically turned on.

    Find My Device is what you’ll use if your phone ever goes missing to track, remotely lock and remotely erase data on it. To check and make sure “find my device is enabled on your android phone, Open “settings”, go to “security and location”, and choose to find my device and make sure it’s turned on. With Samsung phones, find my device.

    The service is separate from Google’s Find My Device offering and is something you can. It gives you a backup service you can use to track down a lost phone, but it also gives you tools that Find My Device doesn’t have.

    However, you’ll need to track the device remotely once it gets missing. And below are ways to find your Android device remotely using “find my device”. 

    Step One

    You can use another Android device and the Find My Device app, which you’ll have to download separately from the Play store. Immediately after you sign in to the site or app, Google will attempt to locate your phone.

    Step Two

    An alert will be sent to your phone to tell whoever has it that it’s being tracked. Use the menu on the left-hand side of the Find My Device site to play a sound (this helps if you lost your phone in your home), lock down your device or erase the device altogether.

    Step Three

    Your phone will be locked if you select “secure device”. Display any message you want on the lock screen and sign out of your Google account. Not to worry, you can still locate the phone after it’s locked. 

    Do not erase the device. Else you won’t be able to track the phone anymore. 

    Google will send you an email once it locates the device. 

    Step Four 

    Once you find your phone, you’ll need to enter your PIN to gain access. This would also get rid of the lock screen message.

    You would also need to log in to your Google account to verify if you’re the one accessing the phone — you don’t need to turn anything off in the Find My Device app. 

    Conclusion

    Our mobile phone devices are crucial as it’s what we use in our daily activities in life. Without mobile phones, you can’t reach out to friends and family or do simple tasks.

    Mobile phones give us news updates more than our televisions these days.

    This is why it’s imperative that you set things in place to make sure you get your phone back if you ever misplace it or it gets stolen from you, irrespective of the brand of device you’re using.
