 Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 7 Reviews, Specifications, Features, Price and Unboxing Video

  The seventh major model of Xiaomi's affordable fitness tracker series is the Xiaomi Mi Band 7. It was initially launched in China and officially became available on May 31. 

Xiaomi later announced its plans for a global rollout, referring to the device as the Mi Smart Band 7 in international markets.

As usual, Xiaomi doesn’t just sell one Mi Band model in all countries but has different options for its home market and the rest of the world. Kicking off the offering is the standard version, priced at 249 Chinese yuan ($37). The NFC version follows at 299 yuan ($44). In Europe, the Mi Band 7 starts at €59.99 ($63). Those in the US can purchase one for $50.

The Mi Band 7 enhances several features found in the Mi Band 6. It boasts an enlarged battery, a larger screen, and an expanded range of sport tracking modes. Moreover, it introduces new functionalities tailored for dedicated fitness enthusiasts, including continuous SpO2 monitoring with alerts. Additionally, the Mi Band 7 comes in a variety of vibrant colors, such as Ivory, Orange, Green, Blue, Black, Pink, Fluorescence Green, Fluorescence Orange, Camouflage Green, and Camouflage Blue.

Mi Band 7 HARDWARE DESIGN

The Xiaomi Mi Band 7 uses a 1.62-inch AMOLED screen with a 490 x 192 resolution. Compared to the Mi Band 6’s 1.56-inch AMOLED with 486 x 152 resolution panel, that’s a noticeable size up. With this larger display, Xiaomi’s also improved the UI, bringing in new icons, animations, and a revised visual aesthetic that should make peeking at data easier.

With the larger screen comes a greater demand for power. To compensate, Xiaomi’s upped the battery capacity in the Mi Band 7 to 180mAh. That’s a 44% increase over the Mi Band 6. Of course, the larger capacity doesn’t immediately guarantee the Mi Band 7 will last longer between charges. As we experienced with its predecessor, smart features do a good job draining the battery. We expect continuous SpO2 tracking to be one of the main power hogs.

The Chinese Mi Band 7 model features NFC with Xiaomi’s voice assistant. It also supports contactless payments. It’s unclear if global models will also receive NFC or the return of Amazon Alexa to the wrist. This would be a welcome addition, though.

Health and Fitness Tracking features

In addition to its existing features, the Mi Band 7 introduces advanced capabilities such as monitoring training load, recovery duration, and training effect. These factors provide valuable context to understand the impact of exercise on the body, offering a more comprehensive assessment than just tracking calories burned. Furthermore, the Mi Band 7 incorporates VO2 max monitoring, which allows users to track their maximum oxygen intake during workouts.

 Another noteworthy addition is continuous SpO2 monitoring, enabling users to monitor their blood oxygen saturation levels. In the event that this value drops below 90%, the Mi Band 7 will promptly alert the user.

Beyond these new features, all the basic fitness tracking smarts make a return. Heart rate monitoring, daily steps, distance, caloric burn, and sleep tracking are all included. Stress tracking and women’s health monitoring round out the offering.

"Even with a small price hike, the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 continues the brand’s legacy of delivering elite entry-level fitness trackers. It packs a bright, colorful display and offers plenty of basic features in spite of how cheap it is. It doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel, (or the band, I guess), but it stays steady in the tools it does offer"

"The only really new feature compared to the predecessor is the larger screen in combination with the always-on display function, which could provide real added value for some users, but we still see a lot of room for improvement here,”

11 Tips On How To Get Verified On Tiktok In 2023

 11 Tips On How To Get Verified On Tiktok In 2023

What is TikTok verification?

TikTok verification is a process that verifies identities and lets users know that these accounts belong to who they say they belong to. Essentially, it lets the platform know that you or your brand are a prominent, well-known name, and your account needs to be authenticated to keep copycats from scamming followers.

There is no verification request process. You can’t submit your brand for approval like you can on other platforms. Instead, TikTok looks through its accounts to see if any meet their norms for verification and bestows the blue check upon them.

This makes TikTok’s verification process less straightforward—but also more exciting when it finally happens!

When you've got a TikTok verified account, you'll get a special badge next to your username that lets everyone know that you're the real deal. Not to mention, you'll also get access to exclusive features and opportunities that can help you take your TikTok game to the next level.

Also, note that you don’t inescapably have to be a celebrity or media figure to get verified on TikTok. Indeed businesses of different types and sizes can get verified on TikTok 

Now you know that the conditions for getting verified on TikTok are hazy. While it’s a gray area, here are some TikTok growth strategies you can use to ensure that you have a good shot at being considered by the TikTok team for a verification badge.

1. Use a Profile Picture That Shows Your Personality

This one should be pretty obvious. If you want to be taken seriously on any platform, you need to have a professional profile picture. That means no selfies, no group pictures, and no pictures with your pets or children. Choose a headshot that is clear and easy to see.

Pick a photo that is in sync with the image you want to project. If you want to tell users that you’re whacky, pick a photo that shows your funny side. On the other hand, if you create fashion-related content, make sure your photo gives off a stylish vibe.

2. Fill Out Your Bio Completely

Your bio is one of the first things people will see when they come to your profile, so you want to make sure it is complete and engaging. Tell people who you are, what you do, and why they should follow you. Use keywords that describe your content so that people can fluently find you when they are searching for something specific.

3. Consistently Produce High-Quality Content

If you want to be verified, you need to show that you are consistently producing high-quality content. That means posting regularly and making sure each post is interesting and engaging. If your content is boring or unoriginal, people are not going to want to follow you. No one gets verified on day one—you have to prove that you’re worthy. So put together a TikTok content strategy and start creating a lot of content on a regular schedule.

Another reason that consistent content creation is so important is that TikTok wants to see consistent follower growth as well.

Demonstrate your ability to keep up with TikTok’s constant influx of trends and produce creative videos that have the potential to go viral.

4. Engage With Other Users

One of the best ways to get noticed on TikTok is to engage with other users. Like and comment on other people’s videos, and follow users who produce content similar to yours. By interacting with others, you will increase your chances of being seen by more people.

Go beyond posting and ghosting — you’ve got to actually engage with your community.

That means showing up in the comments section, following similar accounts, and interacting with users on the app

Spending 10-15 minutes every day engaging with your community can make a huge difference

5. Create a viral video

If you want to get verified on TikTok, it helps to go viral. Going viral on TikTok means creating a video that shows up on many users’ “For You” page, generating hundreds of thousands of likes and views. This not only helps grow your account but also lets TikTok know that you’re creating great content that users love.

And if you regularly land a coveted spot on the For You Page, it can signal to the TikTok team that you’re one to watch.

Most accounts typically have at least one viral moment before they reach verification status.

 Focus on creating content that gets a lot of likes and consider hopping on popular trends and participating in challenges as a way to increase your chances for a viral video.

There’s no specific method for going viral. For the most part, it’s about getting lucky or putting out the right piece of content at the right time. If you remain consistent with quality content, you should get your own viral video in no time.

6. Use Relevant Hashtags

Hashtags ensure that your content can be seen by more people. When you use applicable TikTok hashtags, people who are searching for that content will be able to find your videos. Use a blend of popular and niche hashtags to reach the widest audience possible.

7. Collaborate with Other Verified Users

If you're looking to get verified on TikTok, one of the best ways to do it is to collaborate with other verified users. Not only will this help you get more exposure, but it will also show TikTok that you're a valuable member of the community. 

In addition, collaborating with other verified users can help you build relationships and learn from each other. So if you're serious about getting verified on TikTok, start reaching out to other verified users and see what opportunities arise.

8. Get verified on other social media platforms

Having a blue checkmark next to your username on other platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter will help prove that you’re an account worth awarding verification status.

TikTok wants to make sure it’s being smart about its verification process, so they’ll often look to users’ other social media profiles to see if they’ve already been verified there. This means you want to start the verification process on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter before moving on to TikTok.

If you’ve already gotten verified on any/all of your other platforms, you have a much better chance of TikTok granting you that same status. 

9. Get Featured in the Media

TikTok is no place to be shy about your accomplishments — it’ll actually strengthen your authority and establish your account as a thought leader.

Getting your TikTok account featured in an online publication is a surefire way to let the platform know that your account is worthy of verification.

Whether it’s a magazine mention, a YouTube clip, or a guest appearance on a podcast, spotlighting your achievements can legitimize your reputation.

10. Follow TikTok’s community guidelines

Our second to the last tip is simple: follow the rules. If you’re continuously having videos removed for violating community guidelines, you’re much less likely to reach verification status. So make sure you stay aware of what types of content you are and aren’t allowed to post and you abide by those rules.

11. Be Patient

Getting verified on TikTok takes time and there is no guarantee that you will succeed. It's important to understand that the TikTok verification process is designed to be difficult. The social media platform wants to make sure that only the most popular and influential users are verified. That means they're not just going to hand out verification badges just like that.

However, if you follow these tips and produce quality content, you will improve your chances of being noticed by the powers that be. Be patient and don’t give up – your verification could come at any time!

Can You Buy TikTok Verification?

The quick answer is NO. The only way to become verified on TikTok is to be an influencer with a large following who creates quality content.

There are multiple websites that say you can buy fake followers. And you can inflate your numbers with it. But your engagement will still stay low.

Now that you know how to get verified on TikTok, there's just one more thing you need to do: be worthy of that verification badge. 

Create videos that are creative, entertaining, and informative, and make sure to engage with your audience. If you can do all of that, you'll be well on your way to becoming a TikTok verified user in no time!

What is AAB file and How to Install it on Android Smartphone

 What is AAB file and how to install it on Android smartphone 

Google is now doing away with APK files. As of August 2021, Google mandated developers to upload new Android apps to the Google Play Store in AAB format. 

Since the launch of Android over a decade ago, APK files have been the universal format for apps. Whether developers or users, whether it is on the Google Play Store, APKMirror, APKPure or APKMod - it was always APKs that were offered. For developers, AABs will now become mandatory and for Android users, APKs will become a more complicated affair.

AABs has become mandatory for all new apps since August 2021. Updates for existing apps can still be uploaded by developers in APK format, so nothing will change in this department for now.

What is an AAB file actually?

"AAB" stands for Android App Bundle. The AAB file contains the entire program code of the Android app. As soon as app development is complete, the developer uploads the app to the Google Play Store in AAB format, with the user (you) downloading it from Google Play store to your smartphone just like before.

Why did Google introduce AAB over APK?

You may be wondering why Google introduced AAB file after many years of using APK, well here are some few reasons:

AAB files are custom-made

The difference between APK and AAB files lies in what we call resources. In an app, resources are everything else that is not programming code, such as images, language files, or music. If you select the "Install" button for an app in the Play Store, Google will then send you an APK file tailored from the AAB file for your device with the necessary resources required.

If your smartphone only has Full HD+ resolution, then you'll receive an APK without 4K material. You've selected English and German as the device language? You probably won't need the Swahili language pack. By the way, with the help of Google's bundletool tool, AAB files can also be locally converted into APKs.

AAB files are smaller in size than APK

The first major advantage of AAB files is therefore obvious: The APKs generated in this manner are smaller. On average, you should be able to see a 35 percent reduction in this manner, based on what Google wrote in October 2018. 

Better protection for apps

Another benefit that developers will find useful would be increased security. It will probably be more difficult to modify apps in the future, and the mod scene might not be very happy about that. Who knows, maybe this will reduce the number of cheaters available.

By the way, with the AABs, the Lite and Pro app versions in the Play Store should no longer exist. It used to be possible to install a paid Pro version over the Lite version after a purchase thanks to the same signature, so to speak, as an update. With AABs and Google signing, that's no longer possible. Instead, developers will have to switch to in-app purchases.

How To Install AAB Files on Android smartphone?

Now that you've learnt about AAB files and it's advantages, let's dive into how you can install these AAB files if you get to have their raw files.

Normally, with the inception of AAB files, users will have to install apps and games through Google Play store only and not from any 3rd party Android app store. But if paradventure you get hold of an AAB raw file and you want to manually install it on your android smartphone, this next section is for you. 

To install an AAB files, you will be needing an AAB installer; this is an app that helps in installing an AAB files into your android smartphone.

How does it work?

With the help of your data turned on, the AAB installer converts the AAB file into an APK files and then install it in your phone. 

For this tutorial, we will be making use of an AAB installer app called "App Bundle Installer"

• Step 1: Download and install App Bundle Installer from Google playstore.

• Step 2: Launch the app and select AAB to pick an AAB file from your folder

• Step 3: click on the AAB file in your folder that which to install.

The file will be uploaded automatically, converted to APK file, downloads back to the phone and then request to be installed.

Accept the installation request and the file [whatever it may be: App or game] will be installed to your phone.

That's all on how to install AAB files on your Android phones.

Per Onimole’s letter, the hack on Flutterwave’s accounts occurred about 2 weeks ago from February 13. It was said that the money was initially transferred to 28 accounts in 63 transactions. While the incident was reported to the police on February 13, 2023, with the list of accounts that had received the money, the police could not freeze the funds.

According to Flutterwave, some commercial banks allowed the money to be moved to other accounts, widespreading the money trail.

To investigate accounts holding the stolen funds across various financial institutions in Nigeria, S.A. Adedesin, Legal Officer, State CID, Panti, Yaba, Lagos, filed a suit in the Magistrate Court of Lagos (Yaba Magisterial District sitting at Yaba) to support Flutterwave’s claims.

The suit is between the Commissioner of Police and the following financial institutions:

• Access Bank
• Providus Bank
• Union Bank
• Keystone Bank
• PalmPay
• First City Monument Bank (FCMB)
• Kuda Bank
• Zenith Bank
• First Bank of Nigeria
• Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB)
• United Bank for Africa (UBA)
• Polaris Bank
• Wema Bank
• Union Bank
• Sterling Bank
• Ecobank
• Paycom
• Fidelity Bank
• Eyowo
• Stanbic IBTC Bank
• Opay
• VFD Microfinance Bank
• Carbon
• Moniepoint
• Al-Hayat Microfinance Bank
• PiggyVest
• Nomba (previously Kudi)

While there are no documents to confirm if the court has ruled in favour of Inspector Micheal’s motion, some people have confirmed that their accounts have been frozen in connection to the hack.

A Twitter user said, “I got a mail from my bank saying I’m a 4th beneficiary to this acclaimed fraud money. This was after over five days after a successful trade. My account is locked can’t access fund inside. Pls is this right? It’s unfair I have zero business with flutter wave or the hack.”

Per the motion filed by Adebesin, 107 accounts, including fifth beneficiaries of those accounts, are to be placed on lien/Post-No-Debit (PND).

With the stolen funds distributed across several accounts, which, according to tweets, may or may not have anything to do with the hack, it is not clear at this time who hacked Flutterwave.

Questions about how hackers got past Flutterwave’s security and what this means for the unicorn’s customers remain unanswered.

Funny enough, Flutterwave has denied the hack through a statement. it said, “we identified an unusual trend of transactions on some users’ profiles. Our team immediately launched a review (inline with our standard operating procedure), which revealed that some users who had not activated some of our recommended security settings might have been susceptible.”

The statement added that Flutterwave was able to address the issue before any harm was done to its users.

However, some Twitter users claim thier accounts were locked as a result of the hack on Flutterwave.

The company said, "We want to reassure you that Flutterwave

has not been hacked. As a financial institution, we monitor transactions through our transaction monitoring systems and 24 hour fraud desk and review any suspicious activity. We collaborate with other financial institutions and law enforcement agencies to keep our ecosystem safe and secure"

Ten (10) Metrics To Measure Your Blog's Effectiveness

 Ten (10) Metrics To Measure Your Blog's Effectiveness 

When it comes to your blog, success can come in many different forms. Regardless of your website’s niche, gathering certain data can help you determine whether your readers are enjoying the content you’re putting out or if you need to make some alterations to increase engagement. 

While collecting data about your blog might seem overwhelming at first, rest assured that there are plenty awesome tools to help you! Google itself offers several highly-valuable resources for data gathering, and once you know what to look for, finding it isn’t too tricky. 

Constant assessment of progress is the only way to make sure you’ll achieve your blog goals.

To help you take control of the evaluation process, here are 10 essential metrics you should look at:

1. Page views

A “page view” is a measure of any time a user views a page on your website. This includes multiple visits and page refreshes as well. That means you’ll need to look deeper into the numbers to find out specifics about who’s visiting your blog.

Page views can often be tracked through your hosting provider. Alternatively, you can leverage Google’s page views tracking tool.

You can use Google Analytics to create a custom metric that uses other elements, such as session data, to provide deeper insights into audience behavior. Plus, some filters will be able to help you quickly sort out and view the most important details.

There is no one correct number when it comes to page views. It will differ radically depending on your goals, audience, niche, and so on. However, in a general sense, you should be looking for a slow but steady increase over time. If you’re not getting the numbers you expect, you may want to look into some of your other traffic metrics to fully understand where the problem lies.

Study the overall number of visitors or concentrate on every single article you have. This way you’ll be able to see the trends and understand the type of content that your audience enjoys reading.

2. Leads

Lead generation is a process that fuels the development and growth of your business. It’s equally important to assess the general number of leads you are getting and the visitors-to-leads conversion rate.

3. Subscribers

Another factor that signals whether you demonstrate effective blog writing is the number of people who decide to subscribe to your newsletter. You may use email or RSS subscription for this.

Tracking your blog-subscriber growth is the single, most-important KPI for telling us that we are truly delivering value for our intended audience. If subscriber growth is slow or non-existent, then you have work to do. If you’re seeing a positive trend in growth month over month, you still have work to do, but at least you know the effort is paying off.

4. Backlinks

This is one of the most significant metrics.

Backlinks are simply links found on other websites that links to your blog or website.

 Track the number of backlinks in order to understand how to blog effectively and produce the content that readers will price and value.

5. Social media shares

Social media shares are a great chance to get an exposure to a large audience if your content is of high quality. Always compare the data of social shares you’ve got with the data of fresh traffic coming to your blog.

A social media share shows that someone actually likes your blog content enough to share it with their own friends.

Social media can help to drive traffic to your site in the short-term. It can also help you to grow your following and audience in the long-term. Finding the type of content that gets the most engagement on social media is an important factor in growing your brand online.

This isn’t always an indication of your best and most relevant content. Sometimes mediocre content with an eye-catching image and tempting headline can attract more shares than your best content. It’s important to try and identify exactly why certain posts are getting more shares than others so you can try to replicate this strategy for future content.

6. Comments

This is probably one of the most expressive blog metrics demonstrating the success of your blogging activity. Comments not only evaluate the numerical level of audience engagement but also allow you to find out what exactly the readers enjoyed about it.

7. CTA clicks

Add several concise CTAs and track their performance. You may notice that some work better than others and it will help you identify useful content, see readers circle of interest and preferences.

8. Traffic

It’s the most obvious metric you can track, but also one of the most important to understand blog content effectiveness.

 However, it’s important that you go beyond simply recording a figure for the traffic your website is receiving each month. You’ll want to dig further into exactly where that traffic is coming from and where it’s going.

To start with, in addition to the overall traffic for your site, you should be looking at traffic on an individual post level. These traffic numbers enable you to identify your most successful and least successful posts.

Once you’ve figured out which of your posts are getting the most traffic, you can look into where this traffic is coming from.

 A few things to evaluate:

Is it organic search traffic? – If so, what keywords are you ranking for? Maybe you can look at creating more content around similar topics.

Are you getting a lot of referrals from a particular website? It might be worth investigating if you can get some more links from that site to your other posts.

Getting a lot of traffic from social media? It’s important to analyze exactly why that post is so attractive so you can use your insights to create more appealing social media posts in the future.

Your posts with the most traffic are not necessarily the ones that are converting the most leads. But they can be effective for boosting your SEO and increasing brand awareness and authority if these are important goals for you.

9. Time on Page / Bounce Rate

Your blog’s “bounce rate” is a measurement of how many viewers came to your site, took a look, had no interaction with your blog post, and then left.

If you’re measuring site and page traffic as a performance indicator, you also must take note of what’s happening to this traffic when it lands on your blog content.

Getting a lot of traffic to a particular blog post is great, but if these users aren’t actually sticking around long enough to read it, it’s probably not doing you much good.

Bounce rate can be a much more effective measure of reader interest than traffic stats. While a count of aggregate page views might tell you how many people visited your website, it doesn’t tell you how many stayed and explored further.

A high bounce rate may indicate that your content isn’t resonating with your audience. Alternatively, it could also be an indication that your traffic sources aren’t very good. If you’re blogging about health and your traffic is coming from sites about entertainment and gossips, for example, you may have high traffic, but it’s unlikely to be traffic that is meaningful in terms of true audience building.

A low bounce rate combined with a high time spent on site is an indication that your blog content effectiveness is high and your posts are relevant to your audience. However, other factors such as time taken to load a page can also influence these metrics.

A bounce rate in the range of 25 percent to 40 percent is considered excellent. Anything higher than 70 percent probably indicates that your audience-building approach requires changing.

10. Number of Blog Posts Published

Experts tend to advise new bloggers to view their content plan as a marathon, not a sprint. This means you don’t have to do it all in one day, and it can take a while to build up a meaningful collection of content. 

With that being said, there are some things you can do to start collecting the data that will tell you whether your blog is making an impact. This includes sticking to a consistent publishing schedule, as well as keeping an eye on how much content your blog has in total.

Depending on your industry and topic, you’ll often start to see your audience grow when you amass between 75 and 215 blog posts. However, quality plays a significant role as well. So while the overall output is important, you shouldn’t prioritize this number over the quality of your blog posts.

Once you figure out the most significant components of your blog’s success, use them and track continuously to improve the results and income you get from blogging.

After going through this post, I guess you have known how blog metrics are measured.

 Check Out 7 New Features Added to the Latest Whatsapp Update You Did Not Know About in 2023

Over the years, just like every other apps, WhatsApp has always been rolling out new updates to their apps.

 Why do they do this?

If you are having this question in your mind, the answers is that they roll out new updates to their app whenever they fix bugs or issues on the app or whenever they want to add new features or upgrade existing features to enhance user's experience on the app.

The latest WhatsApp update version 2.23.3.79 (updated in February 2023) comes with great new features that are very interesting. 

Most of this new features are not really noticeable because of the fact that they are upgrades of already existing features on the app, while there are very few noticeable features that arrived on the WhatsApp app for the first time.

I'll be focusing on seven (7) of these features that are very important in your daily WhatsApp usage.

Join me to the end as I list out these features and how to access them.

FEATURES:

1. You can now add captions when sending documents.

This is a great news for group owners that have or intend to use long group subjects.

3. You can now send up to 100 photos / videos at once.

Previously on WhatsApp, Aside GB WhatsApp and every other modded WhatsApp, you are only allowed to send or post 30 photos/image at once.

5. Voice Status update.

This a very interesting, long awaited feature that WhatsApp just added to it's update. Voice Status update allows users to record and post voice notes on their status. Just like other status update, the voice Status will also delete automatically after 24hrs.

6. Deleting selected Images/Photos select for status update by just touching them.

Previously, after selecting Images/photos you wish to upload on your WhatsApp status and you feel like removing some, you would have to go back and unselect them or alternatively tap on the particular image you don't want and them tap the delete icon at the top right of the screen. 

In this latest WhatsApp update, a slight upgrade has been made as you can now delete unwanted selected photos/videos by just tapping on them at the preview panel and it will be removed immediately. See image below.

This feature is only available for WhatsApp Business users as at when this post was made. It might be made available for normal WhatsApp users in subsequent updates.

7. Polls.

This feature that has been on Telegram for long has now been added to WhatsApp.

WhatsApp poll allows you to send polls to contacts and groups of your choice. Once sent, others users will be allowed to vote on the polls you sent by selecting an option from the multiple options created by you.

As of now, multiple answers can't be selected by others users, unlike on Telegram where you can set whether to allow multiple answers or not.

We hope WhatsApp adds this option to Polls in subsequent updates.

Hope you learnt something new today?
