Multiple users in Ghana and Nigeria have reported that they are unable to send and receive images, videos and voice notes on the popular messaging app.
Although stickers can be sent, they still need to be downloaded if the receiving party does not already have it and this seems not to work there.
First reports of the downtime emerged around 11:50 GMT. Text messages and status, however, appear to work very fine.
Many people had thought it was an issue with their service providers as countries in West Africa had experienced internet slowdowns earlier in the week.
On Twitter, #WhatsAppDown has started trending, with many users sharing memes about the outage.

Infinix S5 (6GB RAM + 32 GB Storage); Where to buy in Ghana
In the last few days, social media, especially Twitter has seen the hashtag #RollOverUnusedData trending over what most Ghanaians are referring to as unfair treatment by telecommunication companies with regard to how data bundles are bought and used.
Most data bundles in Ghana expire after a specific number of days or hours, even if the bundle was not used.
AirtelTigo, earlier this year, introduced data bundles that do not expire and this has led most Ghanaians to believe that the Telcos can actually implement this.
In view of this, social media has set the stage to put pressure on Telcos. See some of the tweets below:
The problem is most of the telcos in Ghana are all International brands. Why don’t we get a home based telco which would give us better services. This would put the foreign telcos on their toes and make them improve their services. #RollOverUnusedData
I lost 118GB data last month because I traveled 9days before my expiry date. It was mine and could have saved me for the whole of this month too without buying another. Total Scam #RollOverUnusedData
Instead of Telcos to give bonuses on scratch card recharge so that customers wld buy more scratch cards for Vendors to make profits, they've rather dumped all the recharge bonuses on Mobile Money recharge so that all the profits come directly to them. Selfish!#RollOverUnusedData
Tecno Mobile is due to launch 3 new mobile phones in the Camon Series this Saturday, 25th of October 2019. Last years’ Camon 11 series was a success and fans of TECNO are enthused about the new devices.
The Tecno Camon series is a set of photography oriented, usually mid-range priced mobile devices from Tecno. This year, the Tecno Camon 12 series comes in 3 variants:
Compass, Screen Fingerprint Sensor, GPS, Proximity, Touchscreen, WiFi, Clear Selfie, AI Max Triple Camera
Colours
Dawn Blue, Dark Jade, Sky Cyan
Aura Blue, Gradient Gray
Aura Blue
Why you should buy the any of the 2019 Tecno Camon Series
All three phones are pretty decent at the price that they come with and for most people, the features of the Camon 12 Pro, including the screen fingerprint and the Amoled Display (perfect for dark mode) should make it a clear choice.
You should be looking at buying the Camon 12 Pro if you run a lot of heavy apps and don’t mind dishing out a higher amount to enjoy the 6GB of RAM and a high 32MP selfie camera experience.
However, for the fact that the Camon 12 Pro packs in a smaller battery (3500MaH Capacity) compared to the Camon 11 and Camon 11 Air (both have a 4000MaH battery) means the two other devices are worth exploring.
For those who are tight on a budget but are willing to enjoy the goodies that the Camon 12 offers, then the TECNO Camon 12 Air should be appealing enough. However, it only has 32 GB of internal space and 3GB of RAM, almost making it feel like the TECNO Spark 4 which was released earlier this year.
The Standard Tecno Spark 12 should be your buy if you are not looking to spend too much but willing to pay just a little higher to enjoy almost all of the features of the 2019 Tecno Camon phones. With the 4GB of RAM, you should be able to run a lot of the high memory consuming games with ease. Definitely buy this if you are looking to use the phone for a long time.
Pricing and Availability of the Tecno Camon 12 Series
The phones are yet to be officially released to the Ghanaian market and are currently in the pre-order phase. With just GHS 100, you can pre-order any of the devices and enjoy the following gifts:
Pre-order the Standard Tecno Camon 12 and get Watch and MC Band for free.
Pre-order the Tecno Camon 12 Air and get a selfie stick and phone stand for free.
Pre-order the Tecno Camon 12 Pro and get a free power bank and water bottle.
Where to buy the TECNO Camon 12 Series from
You can get any of the TECNO Camon 12 series phones from the following stores:
It hasn’t been a year since the Spark 3 debuted on the Ghanaian and other African markets and already, TECNO mobile has introduced the TECNO Spark 4 to the market.
When comparing the Spark 4 to the Spark 3, it is difficult to say if it really an upgrade. One noticeable upgrade would be in the area of the battery with an additional 500 mAH over the Spark 3 to bring the total battery capacity of the new Spark 4 to 4000 mAH.
Also, there seem to be a few software buffs, with the introduction of face unlock 2.0.
We have a spec comparison of the Tecno Spark 4 and the Spark 3 below so do well to check it out. For now, let’s concentrate on the Spark 4.
Other Features: Compass, Fingerprint Sensor, GPS, Proximity, Touchscreen, WiFi, Face Unlock 2.0
Colours: Royal Purple, Vacation Blue, Misty Grey, Energetic Orange
Features of the TECNO Spark 4
13MP AI Triple Rear Camera
Equipped with 13MP Triple Rear Camera and 8MP Front Camera, SPARK 4 does well in clear photography, bokeh effect and AI portrait mode.
Photos and selfies taken by SPARK 4 would be much more impressive and attractive under any scenarios. The newly upgraded algorithm “AI Camera 2.0” brings AI HDR, AI Scene Detection and more amazing photography functions.
Even in backlight scenarios, SPARK 4 could still be brighter and clearer, avoiding overexposure of the light parts and clearly showcasing dark details.
Sticking with the essence of AI Bright Camera, SPARK 4 breaks through the limitation and hides its flashlights in the dot notch screen.
Battery and Performance
32GB ROM offers users more space for photos, music, videos and files storage. 2GB RAM means a faster and more fluent user experience with our system. The 2.0GHz Quad-Core processor presents lower power consumption and faster running speed.
Although not the best for high memory games, the Tecno Spark 4 offers better multitasking and a longer-lasting battery than its predecessor and other phones in its price bracket.
Face Unlock 2.0
You can unlock the Tecno Spark 4 via TECNO’s new Face Unlock 2.0 feature, ensuring that the phone learns and recognises your face anytime you want to unlock it.
Now, there is a new “Closed-Eyes detection” that enables you to unlock your phone while you are sleeping or closing your eyes. As a security-conscious person, this “upgrade” is what will make me not to like the face unlock feature.

It’s only seven months since the last Infinix Hot phone launched in Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya and other African countries; we already have a new phone on the market: Infinix Hot 8.
For all fans of Infinix Phones, this comes as a very good addition to the family as they don’t have to wait for long to upgrade to the latest Infinix Hot phone.
The Infinix Hot 8 was launched in Accra, Ghana alongside the official unveiling of Shatta Wale as the new Infinix brand ambassador as well as the Hot 8 Invasion concert, which I attended and did really enjoy.
The Hot 8 phone features share the likeness of most different budget smartphones. Infinix Mobility has given it a sleek look and also the spherical edges increase the texture of the device.
The gradient colour of the phone is clearly done to enhance the beauty of the phone. There are many colours from which one can choose from — Quetzal Cyan, Cosmic Purple, Shark grey and hour Black.
A feel of the phone reveals that the phone does not slip from hands and it does not weight as much as one would normally expect, considering the size.
The SIM & memory card slot is on the left, with room for 2 SIMs and micro SD card. The 6.6-inch size of the screen may be a very little too huge for one-hand usage, however, a lot more people are comfortable with bigger phones nowadays and this should not be an issue at all.
The Hot 8 features a resolution of 720×1600 pixels with 20:9 screen aspect ratio. The phone features a screen-to-body ratio of over 80 per cent and an IPS Liquid Crystal Display capacitive touchscreen.
Triple Rear Camera
Capture beautiful images with more details for the distance and depth thanks to the 13MP triple rear camera with a Quad Flash. The infused new AI software technology enhances the overall beauty of the resultant images. The camera comes enhanced with the PDAF autofocus function with an F1.8 aperture.
Battery
The battery on the Hot 8 should be one of the big plusses of this phone. If you are using your phone for games and social media, the battery should normally last for more than a day.
Also, the battery on the phone will charge fast once you are using the Infinix approved charger the device came with.
Game Mode
Game Mode Mobile customization creates a more fascinating gaming experience, with different modes of quality priority, equilibrium mode and smooth mode being on offer. The frame rate speed has increased by up to 125% and gaming time extended by up to 113% on a single charge due to optimized power consumption, and an overall wi-fi access time increase of 6.7%.
