YouTube Might Be Transformed Into A Full Pledged Social Media Platform Soon

When you hear the word YouTube, the first thing that comes to your mind is video. What we know YouTube to be is a platform where we upload videos, watch videos, comment, like, dislike and just any other thing that has to do With videos. But that might probably be changing soon as Google is planning to make YouTube more than just an online video platform that we have always known it to be.

While the videos are shared YouTube, most of the conversation happens on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter among others. According to Information from Venturebeat, the internet giant ,Google is planning to transform YouTube from just an online video sharing platform to a simple social networking website.
The feature which is going to be called "Backstage" will allow YouTube users to share photos, surveys, links, text messages and videos with subscribers.

This new feature which is expected to be launched at the end of this year is going to be available for desktop websites and also application for mobile devices. According to Venturebeat, this new service will first be made available to the most influential and popular YouTube users, then progressively it will be released to the general public.

For now we will say this is a rumour since it hasn't been made official yet. But if Google happens to push forward with this new project then it's definitely going to change the face of YouTube and the social media as a whole.

Upcoming Apple iPhone with 256GB Internal Storage Almost Confirmed

We have seen a bunch of iPhone 7 rumours till now. Most of them were confirmed by many sources, whereas others appear to be still a work in progress. One such rumour is about the iPhone 7 having a 256GB storage option. So this is one of the rumours which we are seeing from the beginning, and now more leaks have suggested that this might be true after all. Also recently, a well-known Chinese manufacturer of data collection also suggested some similar reports. As you can see from the image below, a 256GB variant is also seen along with the 32GB and the 128GB. These reports are from the first assembly declaration.

So now it’s a just a matter of time as we see the device in all its glory. The launch is expected to happen by the second week of September. Also, recently there are rumours of an iPhone 6 SE as well.

After four months of launching the latest iPhone 6s and 6s Plus , now we are seeing the possible specifications of the iPhone 7 plus . Though this is not the first time we are hearing something about upcoming iPhones, the latest information comes from the suppliers suggesting the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus to features 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch displays that are same as on iPhone 6 & 6 Plus and iPhone 6s & 6s Plus .

The changes can be found in the specifications part, where the upcoming iPhones are said to sport 256GB of internal storage along with the other storage variants. Recently Asus is the only manufacturer that launched the special edition Zenfone 2 Deluxe with a such a huge 256GB built-in storage. While this year iPhones came with smaller capacity batteries than their predecessors, but the 2017 iPhones will have a larger battery where the larger iPhone 7 Plus will include a 3,100mAh battery, i.e.; 12.7% bigger when compared to the 2,750mAh battery on the iPhone 6s Plus.

The Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) will only be part of the bigger iPhone 7 Plus, where both the devices can record videos in 4K resolution. As seen with the pricing of recently launched iPhone 6 Plus that is priced $949 for the 128GB Storage option which is $100 more than the 64GB model. Since the expected 256GB storage is the double than the currently available options, we expect the pricing to be around $1149 or somewhere around that which will also be $100 more than the 128GB variant.

With the increased battery capacities, we can also expect the device to be slightly thicker than the currently available iPhone 6s plus. There are others rumors that Apple is opting out the 3.5mm audio jack to make the device 1mm slimmer. The company will be through in a Bluetooth EarPods within the package along with a special adapter for connecting the normal headphones with the lighting port. Take this with a pinch of salt until there is a confirmation from the company.

Full List Of Night Plans On All Network And Their Subscription Code

The competition among network providers in Nigeria intensifies with every new data and tariff plan they release as everyone of them is trying to get the most costumers at the end of the day. The latest trend is with the night plan. But this is only for those who are ready to sacrifice their night rest for cheap data plan.

Although Mtn actually started the night plan, others have also followed suite with their different night packages. So now you can decide to go for either Mtn, Airtel, Etisalat or Glo depending on the one that suites you most. I will list out all available night plans, validity, price and also data cap.

Mtn Night Plan:
This started it all and it's arguably still the most popular of them all. Although Mtn claims that this plan is valid from 12a.m to 4a.m the same day, it actually expires at 3.30am and not 4a.m.

With the Mtn night plan, at just N25 you get 500mb of data after which fair usage policy will be applied. And it last from 12a.m to 3:30a.m the same day.

How To Activate Mtn Night Plan.
==> First, you must be on Mtn pulse. To migrate just dial *406#.
==> Make sure you have at least N25 on your Mtn line.
==> To subscribe, SMS "night" to 131.
Unfortunately this plan can't be renewed same night. Which means you can only subscribe once in a day.

Airtel Night Plan:
The Airtel Night Plan to me is inarguably the best of them all as long as you have a good network reception in your area. Airtel actually offers two options. You can either subscribe for 500mb at N25 or 1.5Gb at N50 and it's valid from 12:00a.m to 4:00a.m.

What makes the Airtel plan better is that, unlike the Mtn night plan, you can renew the Airtel Night Plan the same day. But this plan is only available for those on Airtel Trybe tariff plan.

How to Activate the Airtel Night Plan
==> Make sure you are on Airtel Trybe or migrate by dialing *312#.
==> Make sure you have enough airtime on your line.
==> Dial *312*2# and follow the command prompt.
Like I said earlier, you can subscribe for the Airtel Night plan more than once in a day.

Glo Night Plan:
Unlike the rest, Glo actually offers night and weekend plan. Which means that the Glo night plan is valid in the night on weekdays and all day during the weekend.

How To Active Glo Night/Weekend Plan
==> To subscribe, dial *127*61#.
==> Or dial *777# and follow the on-screen command prompt.

Etisalat Night Plan:
This to me is the worst of all four, in spite of multiple criticism by their customers, etisalat night plan still remains the most expensive of them all. With the etisalat night plan, you get 1Gb for N200 which is valid from 12a.m to 5a.m

How To Active The Etisalat Night Plan
== > Make sure you have at last N200 on your Etisalat line.
==> Dial *229*3*11# to Activate.
The etisalat night plan is valid from 12a.m to 5a.m the same day.
Aside the Etisalat Night plan, they also have another weekend and night plan of 2Gb for N1,000 and 5Gb for 2,000 which runs from 7p.m to 7a.m on weekdays and all day on weekends. You also get extra 100mb for WhatsApp only which can be used anytime, any day .

So guys that's all. Above is the full list of all available night plans and detailed information on each of them. It's now your choice to choose the one that you think suites you most.

If you have any question, feel free to ask and also don't forget to share this post on your various social media platforms.
