WhatsApp ban users for using whatsApp plus.

Today is like a bad day to some  Whastsapp users. If you are still unaware about it then do know that Whatsapp has already placed  temporary ban on the Whatsapp plus users. Whatsapp plus which is a third party app that resembles in many features compared to whatsapp having a pretty good design and different themes. As they were still running it on the Whastapp plus servers its easy for them to figure it out who’s using whatsapp plus. You should know that using whatsapp plus is against the terms and conditions of the Whatsapp messenger. That’s why  it deicded to temporarily ban users using Whatsapp  messenger services.


Even the act of unistalling the Whatsapp plus app and installing the Whatsapp didn’t lift the 24hrs ban reports the banned users. Though lucky enough the ban is not forever.

Again whatsapp is a corporate and giant company suppose to do something! By not allowing unauthorised software to access their servers.

Our take

 ICTmagazine here sympathise with all the affected end users. Although some users are really eager to test every software that comes through their way, without confirming its authenticity, this is really a bad pdactice especially to those that security and privacy matters to them. ICTmagazine usez this medium to advice users to stop randomly instzlling every flashy app they come across! This time is a temporal ban not sure if the next time mighty permanent. Again apart from the ban, the software or app might be malicious, which can steal users sensitive informatikn including bank records and other confidential data! Be warned!

Microsoft Office for Tablet now on Google Play store

Back in November, Microsoft opened up early previews builds for its new mobile Office applications for Android tablets to those willing to sign up and wait for an invitation. After taking on feedback over the past couple of months, Microsoft has announced that it is expanding its preview scheme by releasing its Office applications to everyone directly through the Google Play Store. The new Office software for mobile unifies Android, IOS, and Windows platforms. Previously each platform had to make do with its own apps, meaning that feature sets differed depending on your operating system and updates were often slow and intermittent. By unifying the Office platform, Microsoft hopes to bring updates and new features to users in a timelier manner. There are still a couple of conditions attached to the preview builds though. Firstly, Office is still limited to ARM-based Android tablets with a screen size between 7 and 10.1 inches. Your tablet will also need to be running Ki...
