It’s Time to Change How You Think About Mobile Marketing Marketing has changed significantly over the past few decades. The internet and other advancing tech have really shaken this industry up. While before, your options were basically advertising in the media, sending out fliers, or cold calling clients, our options now are almost too numerous to count. You could certainly use traditional media to advertise, but there are many other options to consider. Chatbots, apps, email marketing, social media marketing, etc., all have to be considered when coming up with a winning strategy. It’s both good and bad—we have several methods at our disposal, but we tend to focus on the latest and greatest option and do away with “old-fashioned” ones. Mobile marketing is considered old fashioned by some. After all, how many people still use SMS campaigns now?  However, what we need to realize is that there’s a lot more to mobile marketing than just sending out ...

What a week! Maybe you, like us, are clinging to your wallet with all your strength, trying to save up 100,000 pennies (or a few less) for one of the new iPhones announced this week or you are probably trying to figure out when to download the most anticipated software IOS 12 on your device —think no far! After months of public betas, the final version of iOS 12 is now available and ready for download. It comes with new features like Screen Time, a revamped Photos app, new Animoji and Siri Shortcuts, grouped notifications, an AR app called Measures, as well as major performance improvements that increase the speed and responsiveness of your devices. And later this fall, you"ll be able to FaceTime with up to 32 people at once. (Which sounds pretty overwhelming, but OK.) First, make sure your device is capable of running iOS 12. Like iOS 11, iOS 12 is only compatible with 64-bit devices — which means 32-bit devices like the iPhone 5 won’t be able to run the update. Here ...

Microsoft may soon extend its Movies & TV app beyond the Windows 10 hub. “Microsoft is building these apps to give consumers more of a reason to buy content in the Microsoft Store”.  According to a report by Windows Central . “Lots of people buy digital movies and TV content, and Microsoft has a huge store that a lot of people seemingly ignore or don’t know about because there is no mobile companion app for their phone,” the report added. Last June, Microsoft shut down its Groove Music service after announcing a partnership with the music streaming platform Spotify . The company requested its customers to transfer everything they had saved, downloaded and playlists they had created on Groove to Spotify, media reported. But the company did not touch the “Movies & TV” app then. The Microsoft Store has an impressive collection of films and TV shows available to buy, including many that aren"t available via streaming services, but until...

Following the lead of both Opera and Google, Microsoft has announced it is testing a built-in Adblock Plus integration in its mobile Edge browser available for both iOS and Android devices. Microsoft has already began rolling out the feature to those running the beta version of Edge for Android. Those using the stable version of the browser will receive the feature in a future update. Edge isn"t the first mobile browser to feature ad-blocking. Firefox for Android blocks ads in private browsing mode, and the privacy-first Firefox Focus stops them appearing by default. Google has integrated an ad-blocker into its Chrome for Android users earlier this year, although in practice it only prevented the most egregious ads appearing (including videos that play sound automatically and those that take up half your screen). Adblock Plus takes a far more drastic approach, putting the brakes on pretty much all advertising. Edge is a relative newcomer to Android. It"s been available on And...

Despite the talk that most main changes to iOS will be under the hood, Apple didn"t stop at breathtaking performance and stability enhancements in comparison with iOS 11, but introduced a full basket of new features, some of which users have been clamouring for since the Ice Age (grouped notifications), and some which are brand new and welcome, like the Emoji avatars that present your lovely self to the world as your creator intended.

Many of today’s smartphones arrive out of the box with encryption functions. While that may mean privacy protections for smartphone users, it also means plenty of controversy over the use of encryption when it comes to hiding data from the government. Here’s why encryption is making headlines. What is Encryption? Encryption refers to scrambling digital information on phones, laptops, servers, or other electronic devices. On most smartphones, encryption means your photos, texts, emails, and other information are not readable unless you make them so by entering a password or code. Have you ever forgotten your password or mistyped it, only to have your phone or tablet lock itself for minutes or longer? The idea behind encryption is that it protects your data from unauthorized use. Unfortunately, that does not seem to make law enforcement officials happy. Encryption in Court While most people are probably more concerned with keeping their photos and text messages private for pe...

Google News a real-time, “360 degree view” of news stories and topics. Announced as part of the Google I/O conference last week, the company made its plan known of the removal of the Google play newsstand app and replace it with Google News app . Google News app utilises real-time artificial intelligence and machine learning tools to analyse and organise breaking news. The new version of its News app is now available for iOS and Android devices in 127 countries. The app opens with a "For You" section that offers a brief overview and like other curation-based apps, it brings you a brief look at five stories based on your past reading interests; this is a combination of top headlines, local stories, and topics that Google has detected an interest in on your part. Using machine learning capabilities, the app helps analyse the headlines and puts stories about the same subject matter together into "newscasts." This helps you quickly get up to date about a particular stor...

This year, things got a little bit different and spicier with Android as the tech giant during its I/O developers’ conference explained that instead of showing you all the ways you can use its phone operating system to do more, the company is creating features to help you use it even less.  Android P is the upcoming ninth major version of the Android operating system. It was first announced by Google on March 7, 2018, and the first developer preview was released on the same day. Second preview, considered beta quality, was released on May 8, 2018. An operating system due to be out later this year, will have a new dashboard that tells you how often, when, and for how long you are using every app on your phone. It will also allow you to set limits on yourself. You could give yourself a half-hour of Instagram per day, for example. Once your 30 minutes is up, the icon will go from its usual eye-catching gradient to a dull grayscale. Android P also includes a new core interface th...
