Top Most Alternate Applications instead of the Chinese Apps -

We all know, these days we are bound to use Chinese apps as all these apps have lots of features. These apps have most of the features unlocked by default without paying the premium price which makes these apps really popular. Presently we came across a lot of such apps that have security flaws and also do not count or assure the privacy of the user. In the name of features, people use to accept their terms and condition without reading whether the permission asking for apps is really required or not. There are a few following apps mentioned below which can be alternatives.

1. Video Editing App - Kine Master & LumaFusion


Chinese app which was very popular and was used for video editing is  VivaVideo.Many Articles revealed this app to be spyware as this app takes too many permissions which are not even required. Once Indian Govt as also band for spying.

2. Locking of App - Norton App Lock


App Lock is very popular for locking app using PIN, pattern, password, fingerprint. It's run by a company in Hong Kong but this app also has security concerns and also contains advertisements.

So, the best app is Norton App lock, and this is developed by antivirus provider, Norton Labs which is highly secured. We can also use PIN, pattern, password, fingerprint. It's ad-free and offers a clean experience and I highly recommend u too.

3. File Manager - Files By Google


It is a file management app that helps us freeing up space with cleaning recommendations, find files faster with search and simple browsing also helps in sharing files offline and backing up files in the cloud. It deletes old photos and memes from chat apps, removes duplicate files, erases unused apps, clears your cache, and more. We can also check how much free space is left on our phone and SD card. We can also easily transfer files to an SD card to free up your phone’s storage, right from the app. Or use the integrated file cleaner to get more space on the phone.



4. Video Conferencing - Google Meet  


It is an alternative of the Zoom app which has severe security issues and also the video conferencing we make the router pass through china which they monitor. But Google Meet securely connects, collaborate, and celebrate from anywhere. Here everyone can safely create and join high-quality video meetings up to 250 people. It allows host unlimited high-definition video meetings.

5. Microsoft Office Lens


It is an alternative to the Cam Scanner app. Cam Scanner was also used a while ago as its database was leaked on the dark web. Though we have an alternative i.e.Microsoft Office Lens. It enhances the clarity of pictures and makes the documents readable. We can use Office Lens to convert images to PDF, Word, and PowerPoint files, and save to OneNote,  OneDrive, or our local device. We can even import images that are already on your device using Gallery. It helps us in getting organized, being productive at work, and colleges.

6. VPN - ProtonVPN 

Turbo VPN is one of the most used VPN on the Play Store, however, the parent company seems fishy. The company which owns it, ‘ Innovative Connecting’ also owns several other VPNs apps and our data is open to be accessed by Chinese authorities.
But we have an alternative ProtonVPN. It is free and open-source and there are no ads nor with any bandwidth limits.  It also uses AES-256 encryption and never logs user data, so even if there is a push by the public authorities, the app has nothing to share.  This app also offers a free version that can have 1 VPN connection with serves in up to 3 countries.

7. Brave Browser

We can use this browser instead of google chrome, UC Browser. As Google Chrome takes lot more ram when we open too many tabs which lead to the decrease of performance and the UC Browser as security issues according to many reports they were found collecting the data.

Whereas we have an alternative so we can easily replace these browsers with Brave Browser. It is a fast, free, and safe private web browser with an ad blocker and pop-up blocker. We can enjoy privately browse and search without being tracked by advertisers, malware, and pop-ups. Thus, Brave reduces page loading times, improves web browser performance, and blocks ads infected with malware. Brave Privacy App shows a 2x to 4x speed increase on Android, saving your battery and data.

8. Google Photos 
 We keep our gallery sorted by using QuickPic. It touted support for most of the pictures, video player, gifs, etc. However, this app was owned by the infamous Cheetah Mobile. They reported being a part of a massive ‘Click Fraud Scheme’. So, we have an alternative 'Google Photos' is one such app that I use despite my in-built gallery app. It has an array of options. Besides the regular sorting, the app can group pictures by people, places, and even things. You can also share your pictures and albums with others and also back-it up on your Google Drive. You can do basic editing like filters, draw on pictures, crop, and create movies, collages, animations with your pictures.
