RESETTING YOUR DIGITAL SPACE FOR THE NEW YEAR How to Declutter, Organize, and Refresh Your Phone for a Peaceful & Productive 2026 In Nigeria, December is the unofficial “clean everything” month. We wash curtains. We change bedsheets. We repaint parlours. We rearrange the kitchen. We scrub from top to bottom. But one space we often forget is the space we use the most every single day. Give it up for, *rolling the drum*….. Our digital space! Oh yes, our digital space! Your phone is where you run business; where you take pictures of your children; where you pray, study the Word, listen to messages, save recipes, chat with family, run ads, manage money, and store memories. If that space is scattered, your mind feels scattered too. So before 2026 enters, let’s organize your phone the same way you clean your house in December. We should do that gently, intentionally, and fully. Also Read: 10 Reasons You Need to Change Your Phone Now! A. Delete apps you don’t use again Be honest. Some apps have been sitting there since 2021. They are not helping you. They are just eating storage and battery. Delete: games you don’t play apps you downloaded for “one assignment” old work apps apps you forgot existed Your phone will breathe again. B. Turn off annoying notifications Not every “ding!” deserves your attention. You don’t need: notification for “flash sales” notification for “someone liked your post” notification for “new challenge starts in 2 hours” Choose peace. Turn off every notification that drains you. C. Clean your home screen Let only important things stay: WhatsApp Bible Camera Banking apps Business apps Productivity apps Remove the apps that make you say “let me just check something small” and before you know it, 30 minutes has passed. 2. Backup Your 2025 Memories From owambe events…to church programs…to children’s school parties…to foodie moments… Your phone probably has thousands of photos. A. Back them up Use: Google Photos iCloud Hard drive Memory stick Free your storage. Let your memories rest safely. B. Organize your documents Put your: PVC certificates passport scans bank receipts work files business documents …into labelled folders. God forbid you need them urgently and you can’t find them. C. Clean your contact list Delete duplicate numbers. Remove old vendors and scammers. Update family & work contacts. Oh yes, new year, clean book. 3. Make Your Phone Perform Better A. Clear cache Cache is like digital dirt. Once in a while, sweep it out. That way, your phone becomes: faster cooler less laggy B. Update your phone Updates will fix: battery drain bugs camera quality security issues Don’t postpone updates until “later.” Do it now. C. Upgrade your accessories A weak charger can destroy your phone. A cheap cable can spoil your charging port. A bad powerbank can damage your battery. Before entering 2026, get: a good charger a strong cable a reliable powerbank tempered glass protective case Your phone deserves small pampering too. These and all of your digital needs can be well catered for by The Phonepreneur, your favorite and most trusted online gadget supplier in Nigeria. We deliver nationwide. 4. Organize Your Online Space A. Clean your email inbox We all have that inbox with: “Congratulations! You’ve won $1 million” “Black Friday! Buy now”“Free gift for you” Delete them. Unsubscribe from unnecessary emails. Organize your mails. B. Protect your accounts Update your passwords. Activate 2FA. If your Instagram or WhatsApp gets hacked, it can be embarrassing and costly. C. Arrange your files on cloud Create folders like: Work December Pictures Receipts Church Family Certificates Screenshots You won’t believe how peaceful it feels. 5. Reset Your Phone Habits Ask yourself: How did I use my phone this year? Did my screen distract me or help me? Do I need better boundaries in 2026? Better habits for the New Year: Set phone-free hours Move social media from your home screen Use Do Not Disturb when you need focus Reduce group chat overload Stop sleeping with your phone under your pillow Schedule weekly “phone cleaning” Reduce unnecessary screen time Your peace is precious. 6. Prepare Your Phone for a More Productive 2026 A. Download useful apps For productivity, you can try: Google Keep Notion Trello Faith: YouVersion Bible.is Finance: Kuda PiggyVest Opay Learning: Udemy Duolingo B. Set your 2026 lock screen goals Your wallpaper can inspire you daily. C. Arrange your calendar Add: birthdays business plans school resumption dates reminders church events personal goals Starting early increases discipline. 7. Step Into 2026 Clear, Organized & Ready Your phone is not just a device, but where your business flows. Where your prayers are typed. Where your memories live. Where your money moves. Where your dreams stay organized; A cluttered digital space leads to a cluttered mind. But a refreshed one gives you clarity, confidence, and peace. Before the year ends, give yourself this gift: Reset your digital space. Refresh your phone. Prepare your mind. Enter 2026 intentionally. And if you need: a new phone a stronger battery a new charger a powerbank a phone upgrade for 2026 The Phonepreneur is ready to equip you beautifully. Your new season deserves a device that can carry the glory ahead.

Leave a Comment / How to, Tips and Tricks, Web Cam / Editorial Team

Want your Zoom calls or livestreams to look crisp and professional without buying a webcam? Good news, friend, your smartphone already has one of the best cameras you can use! Oh yes! With a few simple tools and apps, you can easily turn your phone into a webcam for work meetings, church services, YouTube, or social media streaming. Let’s walk through how to do it, step by step. Why Use Your Phone as a Webcam? Smartphones today (even older models) have better cameras than most built-in laptop webcams. With a good smartphone, you get: Sharper image quality (Full HD or even 4K) Better lighting adjustment Portability and flexibility, as you can use front or back camera easily Perfect for vlogging, online teaching, or business calls What You’ll Need To set this up properly, you only need a few basic items, all available at The Phonepreneur Global: A smartphone, android or iPhone A tripod or phone holder (like the L16 Wireless Selfie Tripod) A ring light for good lighting (try the 14-inch Ring Light) A microphone for clearer sound (we recommend the Q81 Wireless Microphone) A cable or Wi-Fi connection to connect the phone to your computer Optional but useful: A Bistar 30,000mAh Power Bank so your phone doesn’t die during long sessions. Step-by-Step Setup 1. Choose Your Connection Type You can connect your phone in two ways: Wired connection: Using a USB cable gives you faster, lag-free performance. Wireless connection: Great for flexibility. Just ensure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. 2. Install a Webcam App Depending on your phone type, download one of these apps: For Android: DroidCam, Iriun Webcam, or EpocCam For iPhone: Camo Studio or EpocCam Install the app both on your phone and computer. These apps make your PC recognize your phone as a webcam automatically. 3. Mount Your Phone Properly Use your tripod or mount to position your phone at eye level so that your video feels more natural. If you’re streaming, switch to the rear camera for better clarity. 4. Improve Lighting & Sound Even the best camera looks dull without good lighting. Turn on your ring light or sit near a window.Use the Q81 Wireless Microphone to eliminate background noise. This will instantly upgrade your audio quality. 5. Adjust Settings Inside Zoom, OBS, Google Meet or StreamYard: Go to Video Settings > Camera Choose your webcam app (e.g., “DroidCam Source”) Test your video and audio before going live Pro Tips for Nigerian Creators Use a power bank during long church streams, live worship, or business webinars. Close unnecessary apps to keep your phone cool. Switch to airplane mode + Wi-Fi to avoid interruptions from calls. Add a simple background for a clean, professional look. Bonus: Get a Ready-Made Creator Kit If you’re serious about content creation or online meetings, The Phonepreneur Global has bundled everything you need into one Content Creator’s Kit, including tripod, microphone, ring light, and power bank, all at a discounted price.

Step-by-Step Guide Setting Up WhatsApp Business for Your Small Shop

How to Set Up WhatsApp Business for Your Small Shop

Leave a Comment / How to / Editorial Team

If you run a small shop in Nigeria, one of the easiest ways to connect with customers is through WhatsApp Business. Most of your buyers already use WhatsApp every day. So why not meet them there, but with a professional touch? WhatsApp Business makes it simple for shop owners to display products, set business hours, create quick replies, and build trust with their customers. You don’t need a big office or a website before looking like a serious business. All you need is your phone, your number, and a few minutes to set it up. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started. Step 1: Download WhatsApp Business Go to the Google Play Store (for Android) or the App Store (for iPhone). Search for WhatsApp Business and download it. This is not the same as normal WhatsApp. The Business app has special tools for shops. Step 2: Register With Your Shop Number Open the app. Enter your phone number (preferably the one your customers already know). You’ll receive an SMS or call to confirm. If you’re already using normal WhatsApp on that number, you can switch to WhatsApp Business without losing your chats. Step 3: Set Up Your Business Profile This is where your shop becomes official. Add: Business Name (keep it the same as your shop’s name). Category (e.g., Electronics, Food, Fashion, Kids’ Items). Description (short, clear line about what you sell). Address & Business Hours (so customers know when you’re open). Profile Picture (use your logo or a clear shop photo). Step 4: Add a Product Catalog Think of this as your free online shop or shelf inside WhatsApp. So, make sure to arrange well and beautifully with lovely photos. Tap Business Tools → Catalog → Add New Item. Upload photos of your products. Add names, prices, and descriptions. For example: “Redmi Note 13 – ₦260,000, 128GB storage, available now at The Phonepreneur.” Step 5: Create Quick Replies & Auto Messages Customers don’t like waiting. WhatsApp Business helps you respond fast: Greeting Message: “Welcome to [Shop Name], how can we help you today?” Quick Replies: Save common answers like prices, delivery info, or account details. Away Message: Let customers know when you’re closed and when you will be back online. Step 6: Organize Your Chats With Labels As your shop grows, messages will multiply. Use labels to stay organized: “New Order” “Paid” “Pending Delivery” “Customer Inquiry” This way, no order gets lost in the mix. BONUS: How to Add Labels on WhatsApp Business Open WhatsApp Business and go to your Chats tab. Tap and hold the chat (or individual message) you want to label. At the top of the screen, tap the label icon (a little tag symbol). You’ll see the default labels like: 🟢 New Order 🔵 Paid 🟠 Pending Delivery 🔴 Customer Inquiry Choose the right label, or tap + Add New Label to create your own. Done! Your chat now shows that label, making it super easy to filter later. Step 7: Share Your WhatsApp Business Link Once set up, share your direct WhatsApp link on Facebook, Instagram, flyers, or even receipts. Example: wa.me/234XXXXXXXXXX This makes it easy for customers to reach you instantly without searching for your number. Rounding Off With WhatsApp Business, you don’t need big money or a fancy office to look professional, dear friend. In just a few minutes, your small shop can have a digital storefront, organized orders, and faster customer service all at once. At The Phonepreneur Global, we’re not just about selling all things techs across Nigeria, we help you use them smartly to grow your hustle. From kids’ tablets to 5G phones to the content creator’s kit, we deliver nationwide and guide you every step of the way. 👉 Shop 5G Phones👉 Buy Kids’ Tablets👉 Get the Content Creator’s Kit

Leave a Comment / 5G, How to, Tech, Technology, Tips and Tricks / Editorial Team

5G is here in Nigeria and it means faster downloads, smoother video calls, and stronger internet for the typical busy Lagos and Abuja life. But not every phone can use it. Before you spend money on a 5G SIM or data plan, you need to be 100% sure your device supports 5G. This guide will show you step-by-step how to check if your phone supports 5G in Nigeria, with practical examples of common phone models, SIM tips, and network coverage realities. At The Phonepreneur Global, we don’t only sell phones, we also guide Nigerians to make the smartest tech decisions. We deliver nationwide, with free delivery on Lagos Mainland orders above ₦500,000. Shop 5G Phones Here | Buy a Kids’ Tablet | Get the Content Creator’s Kit 1. Check in Your Phone’s Settings The easiest way to confirm is inside your phone’s network settings. On Android: Go to Settings → Network & Internet → Mobile Network → Preferred Network Type. If you see 5G listed (sometimes shown as LTE/5G/4G), your phone supports it. On iPhone: Go to Settings → Mobile Data → Mobile Data Options → Voice & Data. If 5G is listed (5G Auto or 5G On), your iPhone is 5G-ready. NOTE: Samsung Galaxy S20+, Redmi Note 13 Pro, iPhone 12 upwards all show 5G in settings. 2. Check Your Phone’s Model Number Online Some Nigerian phones may not show 5G if the software isn’t updated. To be sure: Find your model number under Settings → About Phone. Type it into Google with “5G support” (e.g., “Redmi Note 13 model number 5G support”). Don’t want the stress? Chat with us at The Phonepreneur, send your phone model, and we’ll confirm instantly. 3. Confirm Your SIM Card & Network Even if your phone supports 5G, you need the right SIM and coverage. MTN & Airtel are leading the rollout in Nigeria. 5G currently works mostly in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and select test zones. Some people may need to upgrade their SIM at a service center before it works. Pro tip: Dial your provider’s shortcode or visit their 5G page to check if your SIM is ready. For MTN dial *123#, for Airtel dial *121#, for Glo dial *777#, and for 9mobile dial *200#. You can also confirm directly inside their mobile apps. 4. Nigerian Phone Quick Guide Here’s a shortcut to know if your phone likely supports 5G: iPhones: 5G starts from iPhone 12 and newer (12, 13, 14, 15, 16. 17). Samsung: Galaxy S20 series and above support 5G. Xiaomi / Redmi: Most Note 12, Note 13, and Pro series support 5G. Tecno & Infinix: Only latest 2024/2025 high-end releases may have 5G. Itel: Most Itel phones are still 4G only. 5. Use Official Websites Samsung Nigeria — Lists Galaxy models and their 5G status. Apple Nigeria — Shows which iPhones support 5G (iPhone 12 upward). Xiaomi Global — Check “Network” section for Redmi and Xiaomi devices. Or make it simple: Talk to The Phonepreneur. Send us your model, and we’ll confirm if it’s 5G-ready in Nigeria. Rounding Off…. Don’t waste money buying a 5G SIM or phone without checking first. Many Nigerians assume all new phones are 5G-ready but that’s not true. Use your settings, model number, SIM details, and the quick phone guide above to confirm. At The Phonepreneur Global, we sell original 5G-ready devices that are tested, trusted, and delivered nationwide. We’re open Monday–Friday (9am–6pm) and Saturdays too.

How to Use a Coupon Code at Checkout on a Website (The Easy Way!)

2 Comments / How to, product_cat, Technology / Editorial Team

Have you ever found a coupon code while scrolling online or got one from your favorite store’s Instagram story, only to freeze at checkout wondering, “Where do I even enter this thing?” You’re not alone! If you’re shopping from an e-commerce store (like ours), applying a coupon code is super simple and we’ll show you how to do it in less than 2 minutes. Let’s break it down, step by step. Step 1: Add Your Favorite Items to Cart First things first, go ahead and add the items you love to your cart. Step 2: View Cart or Proceed to Checkout Once you’ve got your items in your cart, you can either: Click “View Cart” to see what you’ve selected, or Hit “Proceed to Checkout” if you’re ready to pay You can apply your coupon at either of these stages, so don’t stress. Step 3: Enter Your Coupon Code Here’s the fun part. On the Cart Page, you’ll see a box labeled “Have a coupon?” Just click it, and a field will drop down where you can type or paste your code. Hit “Apply Coupon” and boom, your discount will be calculated instantly. On the Checkout Page, there’s also a small line that says “Click here to enter your code” right above the billing details. Tap that, and the coupon box appears. Easy-peasy. Step 4: Make Sure It Works If your coupon is valid, WooCommerce will show a success message and subtract the discount from your total. If there’s an issue (expired code, not eligible, minimum order not met), it’ll tell you right away. Tip: Always double-check for typos and make sure there are no spaces before or after the code! Step 5: Checkout and Enjoy Your Savings Once the coupon is applied, go ahead and finish your checkout as usual. You’ll see the new discounted total. Now all that’s left is to wait for your order to arrive! Rounding Off Using a coupon code on an e-commerce store doesn’t have to be confusing or hard. Once you’ve done it once, you become a pro, literally. And you know, nothing beats that feeling of seeing your total drop at checkout! Next time you have a code, use it confidently and keep shopping smart. See you next time!
