To make communication easier the app now supports over 22 local languages like Pidgin, Yoruba, isiZulu, isiXhosa, Swahili, Hausa, French and English spoken across the MTN markets.

Ayoba is currently operational in Nigeria and several other MTN markets including Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Congo Brazzaville, Ghana, Guinea Bissau, Afghanistan and South Africa.

Ayoba started the year as an instant messaging app with a small offering of content channels. But it has since grown to over 124 content channels during the course of the year.

The channels include news and official COVID-19 updates, music and music news, full gaming offering, lifestyle updates and education across 7 languages.

Ayoba has also grown into a super app that offers services like MusicTime, which provides 200 new tracks every week for users; and Gaming which has more than 120 free games.

The startup, recently partnered with MTN Mobile Money (MoMo) to allow its users to send and receive money. This is currently available in Cameroon, Ghana and Uganda.

Now, the app is adding MicroApps, a feature that allows lightweight web apps developed by third parties to address a specific community need. These apps can be accessed from within the Ayoba app.

Like the app itself, MicroApps are zero-rated for MTN customers, which means they can be used even when the user has zero data balance.

Speaking on the new feature, Nolan Wolff, Head of Ayoba explained that MicroApps was designed to bring opportunity for African developers.

‘We are so proud to launch MicroApps. One of our key goals for Ayoba is to build a platform that brings opportunity for African developers.  MicroApps will allow local developers to create apps that reflect local culture and values and solve local challenges.  It’s an incredibly exciting community development platform.’
