1. Triller- Alternative to TikTok/Like

TikTok- the successor of Widely used app Music.ly is seen to be taking high roads in the Indian Market, which provides artists a platform to present their skills in mimicry, lip syncs and dance to a wider audience without much efforts in editing and copyright issues. Surely, the idea seems novel but the execution is not. The creators on TikTok are usually seen posting obscene and cringe videos that is deteriorating the present day youth.

TikTok’s algorithm of keeping the platform safe for U/A have failed on multiple occasions and it is seen that the heart of Today’s distinct youth is secretly sending their BTS and Rough Drafts to the Chinese Servers.

Triller is a California based app with the similar objective and much privacy which is the need of the hour. The algorithms seems to be working fine and the content is kept clean for all ages.

2. Adobe Scan- Alternative to CamScanner

Adobe- a name we all know since time memorable is one of the big names in software industry. We all have been using CamScanner for a while now, but its time to send the Dragon back to its native place and never let it enter again.

Adobe Scan is seen to have similar features as CamScanner, which is capable to become your daily driver, with some extra features which adds up to its feasibility.

Adobe apps sync perfectly, thanks to Creative Cloud which provides access to all your files on every device you sign-in on.

3. Files by Google- Alternative to Shareit/Xender

ShareIt arrived the market some years back as the #1 utility app one can install in their device. The sole purpose of ShareIt and Xender was to provide a bridge between 2 devices via mobile hotspot to share files at high speed and without internet connectivity.

Now, ShareIt is seen to be sending all sorts of Notifications ranging from Video Suggestions to Fake News, but the only thing it does not do efficiently is transfer data.

Files by Google is a way better option, which helps user to transfer data without any unnecessary and unwanted notifications.

4. Google Chrome – Alternative to UC Browser

Well, this one is a bit controversial as UC Browser provides a wide range of features which beats Chrome Browser on multiple levels. Still, UC Browser made up to this list because the browser is directly owned by AliBaba Group(A Chinese Giant). On multiple events, UC is seen to leaking data to its parent company servers and hence make it guilty as charged and a threat to your data.

5. ProtonVPN – Alternative to TurboVPN

TurboVPN is a great VPN app which provides free services to limited countries with unlimited data and speed. Though the app seems great, the privacy policies are a bit skeptical which do not describe the privacy terms thoroughly.

ProtonVPN is just another free VPN dedicated to give its user a good experience by providing 3 countries to choose for free with medium speed. Though, it might not sound appealing to your ears, you have to decide what matters to you, the number of countries available for VPN Connection or your privacy.
