Facebook and Messenger Stories to get Video Ads

Stories are now mostly used globally. They are now found in almost all social media apps out there, likes of Snapchat, Facebook app, Messenger, Whatsapp, Instagram etc.

Facebook has recorded over 150 million daily users using the Story feature on its platform (Facebook and Messenger). Now, the company has decided to rollout Ads to Story.

They have seen it as an avenue to make some more bucks. Incase you don't know what Story is, it's a short video and photo montages put together by users. You can only view them twice, and they disappear in 24 hours. They can be seen on Facebook app, Messenger app, Snapchat, Whatsapp, Instagram etc.

Facebook Story ads would consist of 5 to 15 seconds videos that can be skipped. There are no click-through functionality for now as they are just videos. They might change later as this is just a test.

Facebook Story ads might get an upgrade by the time it will be rolled out to the public. The ads are already rolling out to users in the US, Mexico, and Brazil.

You can now Share Friends Instagram Posts to your Story

Instagram is still adding more features to its app on a daily basis. The recently added feature is the ability to share any post on your feed to your Story.

This feature is not a big one to say. You can now share someone's post to your story, provided that the post is set to public. If you don't want others to share your posts to their story, you can set your post privacy from public to other options.

To share posts to your Story is very simple in just few clicks. Just tap the share button below the post, select "Create a Story With This Post", add a caption, and hit the little plus icon near the bottom left.

Just like that, the post will appear in your story, with the original poster's handle right below the image (just in form of a credit).

How To Fix Blocked by Play Protect Error Message

One of Google recent features on the Playstore app is the Play Protect. This feature is built-in right inside the Playstore app to protect your phone from malicious apps.

Play Protect acts like an antivirus app. Generally, it's a security app that scans your phone regularly for malicious and unsafe apps (including the apps you downloaded from Playstore and the ones you downloaded from other sites).

You can't remove or uninstall Play Protect. It's an inbuilt feature by Google and can only be disabled.

Recently, some couple of people laid a complain to me that they get "Blocked by Play Protect" error anytime they want to install third-party apps like Mobile Uncle, Lucky Patcher, and other apps that are not on Playstore.

It's quite frustrating at first but it's really simple to bypass such error message. In this post, I will show you how to fix Blocked by Play Protect. Kindly follow me along.

How to Fix / Disable Blocked By Play Protect

It's very simple. To disable Play Protect, kindly open your Playstore app > Tap the Menu icon > Scroll down to Play Protect and toggle off  "Scan device for security threats" option.

That's all. You have successfully disabled Play Protect security. You can now go ahead and install your favorite apps without any issues.

How To Subscribe To Airtel 5.5GB for N1500 and 7GB for N2000

Airtel Nigeria is currently giving some subscribers another set of data plans that offers 5.5GB for N1500 and 7GB for N2000. As we all know Airtel with their eligibility issue, this offer is not for everyone.

It's quite unfortunate that Airtel has chosen to keep their best offers to some set of users. I'm not really sure on how they do their criteria but let's take it as it is.

Quickly, I will show you how to confirm if you are eligible for this 5.5GB and 7GB data offer from Airtel.

How To Confirm Your Eligibility Status For This Data

Airtel is sending a text to some eligible customers. The message reads;

Over 5.5GB FREE DATA waiting for you! Dial  *440*16# to get 5GB Monthly for N1500 or dial *437# to get 7GB at N2000. For more options,  Dial *144#.

If you received the text message, then you are eligible for the data. You can go ahead and subscribe for the data.

On the off chance you didn't receive the text message, you can check your eligibility status by dialing *440*16#. If you get a reply of insufficient balance, then you are eligible. But if you receive any other message apart from that, I'm sorry, you need to try another Airtel SIM.

How To Subscribe To Airtel 5.5GB and 7GB Data

1. After confirming your eligibility status, kindly follow this steps to subscribe for the data.
2. Recharge your line with the required amount.
3. Now dial *440*16# for the 5.5GB data or *437# for the 7GB data
4. You will receive a confirmation message for a successful data activation.

That's all. How do you see this one? Please comment and share.

YouTube for Android is Testing Incognito Mode

Incognito mode set to hit the YouTube app in the next few weeks. We are all used to seeing this feature on only browsers, but YouTube is saying it's possible to get that same feature to the platform.

With YouTube incognito mode, your activities, watch history and subscriptions will all be hidden, just like the incognito mode on browsers.

When available, you can activate the feature by going to Settings > History & privacy and toggling on the option. You can still access the option when you tap your account avatar located in the top right of the app. Currently, you will see "Switch account and Sign out" as two different options, but they may soon be put together into one, while replacing the space with Incognito option. Just as seen in the image below.

When you are in incognito mode, you will see your profile avatar being replaced with an incognito icon. And if you are inactive for a period of time, the incognito mode will be automatically closed.

After which you'll  be back to using your own account.

This feature hasn't started rolling out globally yet. Hopefully, it will be rolled out in the next few weeks.
