Scanning app alternative. |
Okay the
cam scanner is something a lot of people use and it has had its issues in the past I mean
last year Kaspersky found a Trojan module in the app and it had gone away but
it came back. now it's banned again but there are some alternatives you can use
so there's
Google Drive. which has a
simple scan feature that not many people know about and there's
Adobe scan and
Microsoft Office lens. both of which are feature-packed like
camScanner. now Adobe scan is something I prefer because I like the fact that
it can detect the document is scanning be the ID card or resaved or a
whiteboard or your usual documents. it also has different editing tools OCR
support and scanned images don't have any watermark on them so it's great.

Browser app alternatives. |
so
in the whole list of these banned abs there are a lot of Chinese browsers the
CM browser APIs browser and of course the infamous
UC browser. which in the past has been in the news for taking
unnecessary permissions showing spammy ads. so yeah you shouldn't be using
these browsers anyway but if the browser you should be using is
Firefox. I know there's
chrome too of the sleeve but I am
recommending Firefox for its privacy-focused approach first of all Firefox
brings a clean and blood-free experience unlike UC browser and like . I said
it's focused on privacy and security. I mean it blocks a lot of trackers
automatically so that's great.
plus it has all the great features like visual
tab truly secure private browsing etc. so Firefox is a great alternative to
basically any browser out there.
 |
Sharing app alternative. |
share
it and
xzender are another
really popular apps on this whole band list but of late they have become kind
of spammy and bloat especially share it. now I personally used to use xzender a
lot to transfer files from a phone to my PC. but offline I've been using
something really cool and really easy called
snap drop now
snap drop
isn't an app it's a web-based service so it works on basically any platform.
so say I wanted to send files to my Mac from
my phone. so I can just open up snap drop dotnet on both the devices on any of
the browsers and as you can see the other device shows up. I just tap on the
device and send any file I want how easy is that.
I like the fact that snap drop is open-source
and just clean all wrong now I use a snap drop for the phone to PC file transfer.
you can also use
files by Google if
you want to send files between Android devices. so
ES File Explorer is another infamous app that has had its issues in
the past. the app has been reported to you know share app recommendations at
spyware Android devices and beat shady engendered.
 |
File manager alternatives. |
so now a lot of Android skins
almost all the Android skins come with the old file manager apps. but if you
want a third-party fire manager app there are a lot of great options I mean if
you want a simple free file manager this obviously
files by Google. if you want to want a paid option there's solve
Explorer now. I personally prefer
FX
file explorer because it's privacy-focused there, are no ads it's free
version because the handiest features like multiple windows, support for most
archive formats and I like the parents' Android TV app works well too. so yeah
just try out FX File Explorer.
 |
Tik Tok alternative. |
So
tik-tok
has been banned and no it's not the only video sharing platform from China that
has been banned. this also likes and ye I'm not sure how do you pronounce it but
there are some good alternatives to tik tok that you can use. so as there's the trailer from a California-based company and this is already a pretty popular AAP.
I mean I tried out the app and it does not take any unnecessary permissions,
and I came across a number of celebrities posting videos on the platform so
that's good. plus it brings tik tok features as you can see you can create music
videos and there are different tracks to choose from like tik tok.you also get the feature where you
can collaborate with other users. now apart from tinder I also tried out India
based apps like
chingaari and
roposo so now chingaari get it just doesn't
load up for me. and Raposo is in as feature-rich a stick talk bard even give
these a try.
 |
video editing app alternative. |
viva video is a video
editing app that has gone really popular in India. now, this is an app that was
banned back in 2017 as well for spying on Indian users. so it's obviously kind
of shady, but there are some great video editing apps you can use on Android.
now that's
in short if you want the
same port at UI or the tools similar to what you get in vivo video or you can
use
kind master which is more
feature pack. I mean it has got features like multi-device timeline all the
video editing tools different textiles effects transitions. so yeah I think you
should be fine with kind master now if you want a free video editor that does
not add watermarks at all you can check out now.
 |
Recording app alternative. |
hello, the social media app that got really popular India because of
its original language support has been banned too and you can use
share chat instead which also brings
the same.so share chat is an app-based out
of India and it offers content in 15 regional languages which is great. I mean
there's no English support and when I tried out the app I basically saw people
posting memes quotes WhatsApp forwards. things like that so yeah. I'm not a big
fan of the app I mean why would people want to use this but people use hello so
I don't know.
DUrecorder is a screen
recorder lab that also got pretty popular but it's been banned now but you
don't really have to worry because there are a lot of great screen recording
apps on the Play Store. my recommendation is the
screen recorder no ads yeah paint simply. first of all, this is
ad-free like the name says. and it brings all the features the support for
different resolutions, different frame rates, and an Android 10 devices. this
for parental audio recording which is awesome if you want to record a gaming
session. so this is a simple great alternative that just works when compared
to do you recorder.
 |
App hide alternative. |
what hide is a photos and videos hider app that was flagged
recently for its privacy issues and now it's been bad. there are a lot of
alternatives to hide photos and videos but one app I like is
keep safe.
keep safe uses cypher aes-256
encryption which is the same protocol used in many banking apps. it's an app
that lets you protect or hide apply with document videos and photos. it also
has great features like phase down auto-lock encrypted backups trash recovery and breaking alerts so yeah. it kind of brings everything you need so yeah I
use this instead of all type. well, there are a lot of other apps with these
privacy issues and if you want alternatives for every single one of them. we
have an extensive detail list on Chinese apps alternatives so check it out .also
if you have any of these banned apps pre-installed in your phone we have a
how-to on how you can remove these bloatware apps so go ahead check that out
too.
