Facebook and WhatsApp's jumped ship earlier this month, announcing that it would end support for its apps later this year.  The world's biggest social network and its Messenger app will stop working on the BlackBerry OS, including BB10, by the end of 2016. In a blog post on the company's website, the app team said: " Recently, Facebook made the decision to discontinue support of their essential APIs for BlackBerry and WhatsApp announced they would end support for BlackBerry 10 and BBOS at the end of 2016. We are extremely disappointed in their decision as we know so many users love these apps. We fought back to work with WhatsApp and Facebook to change their minds, but at this time, their decision stands (but let them know how you feel on social media, using the hashtag #ILoveBB10Apps ). Despite this, we have worked hard to ensure our end users have the best experience in light of this decision, and a

One of the main reasons Samsung has been so successful alongside Apple in the past several years was by matching Apple’s advertising campaigns and promoting the crap out of these phones. Samsung has already been promoting the Galaxy S7 a lot even before it launched. Samsung started by throwing in a Gear VR with a pre-order of the new phone. Then, Samsung released three new ads a couple of weeks ago, next, a man with a jetpack flew alongside the Dublin River in a stunt coordinated with Samsung Ireland to promote the Galaxy S7. And finally today, Samsung released three new ads all featuring Lil’ Wayne, the most notable of which shows Lil Wayne pouring a bottle of champagne all over a Galaxy S7. Samsung really wants to make sure viewers KNOW this phone is fully submersible in water. Check out the ads released featuring Lil’ Wayne: Lil Wayne even tests the water resistance of the Galaxy S7 by dunking it inside a fish tank. Meanwhile, one of his friends starts pouring champa

Not sure where to start in your quest for a new phone especially in this Nigeria where different mobile technology introduces various types of devices to the market from countries outside the nation and they are all accepted by Nigerians? Whether you're seasoned buyer or are looking to buy your first smart phone, here are a few pointers to help you get started. How much should you spend on a new smartphone? While flagships seem to be getting more expensive by the year, laying your hands on a good smartphone is actually cheaper than ever.

It's also worth considering last year's top phones. The LG G4 and S6 now available for much less and are better than many new mid-range phones. What size smartphone should you

A young man who sold his newborn baby and used the funds to buy an iPhone and Motorbike has given himself up recently. “A Duan,” (pronounced ‘ah dwahn’) as he is identified in news reports, sold his 18-day-old daughter to a stranger one year ago, receiving 23,000 yuan (about $3,520) after bargaining, according to the Xiamen Daily News on March 1. The events took place in the city of Tong’an, in the eastern coastal province of Fujian, China. The biological mother, Xiao Mei (a pseudonym), worked temporary jobs and was below the age of consent when they conceived the child. A Duan, who had not completed high school, spent most of his time in Internet cafes. Once A Duan discovered he could sell the baby, he elected to do so—without the mother’s consent. He found a buyer on QQ, a popular online social media platform, who purchased the child for his sister. Soon after the baby was sold, the distraught mother left the city. Xiao Mei was eventually tracked down by police and a

Study Helper records your studying time by subject and blocks access to most obstructions, such as push notifications, games, multimedia, messages, and whatever else might disrupt your task. It's up to you to select which apps you have installed are necessary for study. The rest of your smartphone will be completely locked for a period of time specified by the user.

Look for the ‘phone administrator for deletion' button within its settings, and tap on it before yo
