  • How to add any place to Google Maps in Ghana

    How to add any place to Google Maps in Ghana

    Google Maps is one of the most popular applications on the Android platform. It’s not surprising that Google (who literally “own” android) will push the app to users, especially as Google feels it is an important component of every smartphone.

    Well, I think maps are important and I use them frequently. Over the years, Google Maps has seen tremendous change and improvements, making it continually useful.

    One advantage of adding a place to Google Maps is that it can be found on all services that utilise Google Maps’ API. These services include Uber, Taxify and even the GhanaPostGPS.

    Generally, maps are very incomplete if they are not able to tell what can be found at the specific places and Google – in the quest to make maps reliable, gives users the option to add places to their maps (with verification).

    Here in Ghana, a lot of places cannot be found on the map but with this feature of Google Maps, you can add all your favourite public places to help others.

    The ability to add or remove places from Google Maps was only available to “Map Makers”. Map Makers would soon close and be moved to Google Maps. Hurray!

    How to add a Place to Google Maps

    Check that you have GPS enabled in your settings.

    For the best results, set the GPS settings to high accuracy. This can be done by going to your android Phone’s Settings > Location and Security. When this is done, open the Google Maps application (it should be the updated version), then tap on the menu button (three horizontal lines)

    "Check

    You should be near the place you want to add to the maps.

    Zoom in to the blue dot. That represents your current location. As in step one, click the menu button and then Click on “Add a missing place”.

    A new menu comes up where you fill the details of the place. In this Tutorial, I add Access Bank, Airport Branch to Google Maps. In order to get the street address, tap the “current location” sign.

    It should automatically update to where you are. Alternatively, tap on “Mark Location on Map” and map the appropriate location.

    Fill all details including category and the hours open.

    To get the place you are adding verified, it is always best to add a photo, which you can capture straight from Google Maps or by selecting a photo from your gallery.

    Adding a photo helps Google prove that the location being added is a real one.

    When you are done, submit by tapping the submit button.

    If you did everything right, you should receive a notification on-screen saying “Thank you for Improving Google Maps”.

    You should also receive an email when Google verifies that you have actually added a genuine place.

    Sometimes, Google may run its own verification so the email you receive will only state that your entry is under review.

    When you are done, submit by tapping the submit button. If you did everything right, you should receive a notification on screen saying "Thank you for Improving Google Maps". You should also receive an email when Google verifies that you have actually added a genuine place.

  • Why I stopped Using Opera Mini and I don’t regret it

    Why I stopped Using Opera Mini and I don’t regret it

    Way back in 2009, when I had just acquired my first “true” mobile phone – the Nokia Xpress Music 5130c-2 – I was among the happiest people on earth.

    I was using MTN then and internet bundle was much of an issue as it was pretty much expensive.

    That Nokia phone, and those of it’s kind, are what we now refer to as “feature phones”. Yes, It lacked a mind to be smart.

    The phone also runs on Java and any application that had to be installed had to be a java application.

    We used to browse through the then-popular waptrick.com just to find some useful applications or games to download and play.

    Opera Mini browser during those days was my best browser and I remember personally installing and recommending it for a lot of people.

    We used Opera mini for basically everything – News, Facebook, wallpaper search and the likes.

    On a feature phone like the Xpress Music, Opera Mini was the best because it loaded pages very fast in a city where 3G access was very limited even on MTN at the time.

    Opera mini also did not use a lot of data bundle and this made it a browser favourite for a lot of people. Honestly, I can’t think of any other browser around the time that posed any threat to Opera Mini – maybe UC Browser.

    Fast Forward to 2020, where the standard is a smartphone with at least 4G internet access and huge data plans.

    Is Opera Mini really useful now? My answer – NO!

    When I had my first true smartphone – the Samsung Galaxy S4, Opera Mini browser was one of the first applications I downloaded from the then Android Store.

    Still got love for feature phones and even “yams”.

    After all, I had a relationship with the browser that has had my back for all these years. However, with each passing day, I became more and more disappointed in the application – it had not changed much.

    All Opera Mini knew was speed, sacrificing other very relevant functionalities.

    It’s very surprising that a lot of Ghanaians still use the Opera Mini Browser

    Opera Mini remains one of the most popular browsers in Ghana. In fact, just last month, over 30% of the visits to Mfidie.com came from the browser.

    But why don’t I like it anymore?

    Firstly, Opera Mini works very badly with JavaScript and I doubt you will be able to comment on this post if you use the browser.

    Opera mini also makes copying text from a website a nasty experience. The text is not wrapped effectively and if you do copy from within the browser and paste elsewhere, you would spend a lot of time “editing” the text to look just right.

    Opera mini essentially limits the functionalities of websites and may even make a perfectly good looking website look so dumb.

    Not a browser you can enjoy right now – Even on the Galaxy S4, released in 2013.

    Personally, as a publisher, Opera Mini is fast becoming a nemesis. I rely heavily on Google Ads and Opera Mini by default blocks every kind of Google Ad.

    The browser is so aggressive at blocking ads that even image ads are sometimes caught. If 30% of my visitors are not seeing my ads, that’s huge. I take solace in the fact that all these people reading on Mfidie.com still get all the information they need.

    Mfidie.com currently has a publishing agreement with Opera Mini’s sister app – Opera News, where our own Ads are blocked by default, and Opera places their ads, but revenue is shared. Maybe Opera can look at implementing that inside of Opera Mini.

    And for everyday internet surfers, if you are using Opera Mini, you are definitely using it because of one or both of these reasons – speed and data savings.

    I stopped using Opera Mini because a fast browser that does not deliver quality does not quite make the cut for me.

    I discovered an old acquaintance – UC Browser. This browser delivered almost the same speed as Opera Mini as well as better functionality. I was able to do almost all that I wanted to do on any website of my choice.

    Again, I think Opera Mini is not for your smartphone – we’ve moved past that level.

    There’s a reason why there is a real Opera Browser on the Play Store (without the mini).

    Maybe look at your browser choices. After all, if you have been able to stay in a relationship with Opera Mini, then you can love almost any other browser.

    What do you think of Opera Mini? Do you still use it? Leave a comment below.

  • 5 Video Conferencing Apps Similar To Zoom

    5 Video Conferencing Apps Similar To Zoom

    The whole world and indeed everything in it turns to an online space where there is little physical contact between people – a step towards easing the impact of the pandemic.

    One of the many online platforms that have seen a surge in users since the start of the pandemic is Zoom – a video-conferencing application.

    One question that has lingered on many minds is what other video conferencing apps are there aside Zoom – which has become a name associated with video conferencing worldwide.

  • Top ranking apps in Ghana

    Top ranking apps in Ghana

    The past few decades have been absolutely game-changing for the entire world. The way we lived for centuries was completely changed following the spread of digital technologies across the globe. Today, everyone owns a smartphone and other smart devices, such as smartwatches, television sets, and even smart coffee machines or fridges. The influence of technology on our daily lives is huge and it is only getting bigger each and every day. 

    What we are witnessing now truly is a major technological transformation, driven by decades of innovation and novelty. There are more research universities and technological hubs working on digital solutions than ever before. The process of digital transformation is what really sets trends in the 21st century. Technology has become a sector that attracts millions of people around the world. 

    The wave of mass and rapid digitalization has affected industries from some of the oldest to newly emerged ones. For instance, the financial industry has seen a massive change from the early 2000s. Today, practically all mainstream financial transactions happen through the web, in a matter of seconds. Every commercial bank offers a mobile or a web platform to its customers, providing efficient and convenient services. 

    The entertainment industry is also almost completely dependent on technology and its advancements. Every type of entertainment from streaming services to games and literature are available for smartphones. Buying a physical book is quite a last century trend when one can easily purchase an online version for just a fraction of the original price. 

    As a result of the increasing popularity of eBooks, a growing number of educational institutions have started refusing the use of physical books. On one hand, this makes the learning process more convenient for students while on the other hand, it helps in the fight against climate change by reducing the use of paper. 

    The era of the internet in Ghana 

    Just like all across the world, Ghana is also seeing a vast increase in the number of internet users. Smartphones are becoming mainstream in the country while companies are starting to target gadget owners and internet surfers. In general, the continent of Africa is considered a frontrunner when it comes to utilizing the full potential of digital technologies. Innovation in technology is particularly thriving as African startups managed to raise a whopping $1.34 billion in investments throughout 2019. 

    Despite being one of the leading nations in the region, Ghana still falls behind in terms of internet penetration. Countries like Ethiopia, Kenya, and South Africa show much better results Yet, the country is developing fast. So what are people in Ghana downloading on their smartphones? What apps are most popular in the country? 

    Messaging apps

    Messaging is an inseparable part of our daily lives in the 21st century. We no longer need to send pigeons to the other side of the city in order to have our message delivered. Instead, a countless number of messaging apps for different devices offer fast and convenient services. These apps are extremely popular everywhere around the world. However, their individual popularity differs from a country to another. For instance, Russia has its own messaging app that is not widely used elsewhere while Americans often prefer Snapchat over other options. 

    In Ghana, the choice of people turns out to be WhatsApp. The app has over 1.6 billion users globally, making it one of the most popular of its kind. The app ranks first on the Android chart while being the fourth most popular iPhone application. 

    Online gambling platforms 

    The gambling industry has changed to its very core, becoming highly digitalized throughout the past decade. Online casinos now have bigger revenues than physical venues as a growing number of people prefer playing from home. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, the number of players has skyrocketed all across the globe, including Ghana. 

    There are no local gambling platforms in the country and that is why locals enjoy the services of foreign operators. Some of the Canadian companies have targeted western Africa in efforts to attract users from the region. More and more new online casinos from Canada appear on the market of Ghana, making it quite well-saturated. Canadian casinos have always been particularly interested in attracting overseas users amid the low domestic demand in the country. 

    In the charts, many of the leading gambling platforms have recently started to appear. The pandemic has boosted the sector as an unprecedented number of people stay at home. No one knows if the popularity of online gambling will drop after the health emergency but for now, the picture remains optimistic.

    Social media: Instagram 

    Social media is driving the world with almost every major company present on different platforms. They are undoubtedly the best way to reach big audiences. Some of the leading social media platforms have billions of users, making them the greatest space for marketing and promotions. 

    In Ghana, a skyrocketing number of people, particularly the youth are using social media networks. Instagram is of big popularity, ranking at the top of the list. Its rival Facebook is ahead, but this correlation is quite understandable. Facebook has space for more types of content including text, long videos, and events. On the other hand, Instagram is almost solely focused on photography and videography. 

    Video conferencing: Zoom 

    Not long ago, Skype was an absolutely legendary software. Hundreds of millions of people were astonished by the innovation of facetime calls through Skype in the early 2000s. However, years later, it has lost its glory to other, more advanced, and innovative apps. 

    Zoom has been around for a few years. It offers great services for those who need video conferencing for different purposes. It supports calls with hundreds of people in it, offers virtual backgrounds and educational modes. 

    In early 2020, due to the global health emergency and the high number of people staying at home, Zoom gained more popularity than ever before. It made international headlines and increased the number of users tenfold. It is now being used by some of the leading educational institutions and companies all around the world. 

    Ghana is not an exception as Zoom made it to the top of the chart in May 2020. The app is gaining even more momentum each and every day as more people around the country see its benefits. It is worth noting that Skype is not even among the top 50 most popular apps in Ghana for this period.

  • How To Hide Your Whatsapp Online Status On Android And iOS

    How To Hide Your Whatsapp Online Status On Android And iOS

    Security and privacy are two terms that go hand in hand especially as far as the internet is concerned.

    The WhatsApp instant messaging platform is undoubtedly the biggest instant messaging platform in the world with millions of users active every moment.

    While Whatsapp has so many advantages that come at absolutely no cost, some people could actually abuse some of its functionalities in trying to track your actions.

    One of the features of WhatsApp which can be used against you by others is your online presence (online status.)

    In this article, we shall focus on how to turn off your online status on both Android and IOS devices.

    How To Turn off Your Online Status On Your Android Device

    To turn off this feature, you have to launch the Whatsapp application and follow the instruction below:

    1. Click on the three dots on the top right corner of your WhatsApp chat page.
    2. Click on Settings in the list that appears next.
    3. From the settings menu, look through and select Account.
    4. Click ‘Privacy’ in the next list that appears.
    5. From the popup list, select ‘Last Seen’
    6. From the popup list that appears next, select ‘Nobody’.

    NB: You can select my contacts in order to decide which people from your contact list should not see your online status.

    How To Turn Off Your Online Status on IOS Device

    Turning off your whatsapp online status on Iphone or any other IOS device is quite different from the method we’ve seen under the previous heading.

    In order to put this feature off, follow the steps below:

    1. Launch your WhatsApp application
    2. On the chats page, select ‘Settings’ on the right bottom corner.
    3. Select ‘Account’ from the list that appears on the next page.
    4. On the next page, select ‘Privacy’.
    5. From the next list, select ‘Last seen’
    6. A popup list would appear for you. Select ‘Nobody’ from the list

    Conclusion

    Turning off your whatsapp status generally prevents people from identifying when you are online and when you are offline. At all times, when people check your account, they see no sign of you being online. This protects you from those who may be spying on you. However, this setting is a double-edged knife. For as long as people do not get to see your online status, you do not get to see theirs either. Meaning if you set your online status to ‘Nobody’, you shall also see nobody’s online status. So if you wish to see some people’s status and keep others in the dark, then you may want to use the ‘My Contacts’ option when you get to the last phase of the steps listed above. That way, you can select those whom you wish to share your online status with.

    If you have any reservations or questions regarding this post, please do not forget to let us know in the comment box below the post. We are more than happy to be of help to you.

    Considering how difficult it is to build a sizeable following on Instagram, losing followers frequently could be a very painful experience for users of the photo-sharing app.

    One of the main reasons people follow others on Instagram is so that they could get a follow back or maybe see their newest photos they post on Instagram.

    After getting the follow back, most people try to be smart by unfollowing some of the accounts they had earlier followed so that they could reduce the accounts they follow as compared with the accounts that follow them.

    An account with more followers than it follows has more power and authority than an account with fewer followers.

    In this article, we shall focus on 3 apps you could use to identify those who unfollow you on Instagram so you could also unfollow them or take any other step.
