Top alternatives to Chinese Apps – especially the banned ones

July 15, 2020 by TCM Leave a Comment

App Tired of looking for non-Chinese alternatives to banned apps?

Don’t worry we have you covered. 

The Ministry of IT has banned 59 Chinese apps owing to the non-conformance of user privacy clause which most of the Chinese software and apps never do. (Check out the video in this article for more details)

Today we will cover a few of the better alternatives to few widely used Chinese apps.

This will cover most of the regularly used apps along with the entertainment ones (TikTok). A word of caution, all apps are android and there IOS alternate needs to be confirmed.

Here goes the list:

Chingari App
         Chingari App

1.Tiktok

Though Youtube and Instagram are trying to bring in new features to cover up for a platform like TikTok. We are pretty sure these two giants will do a much better job with that. At the moment with 1 million+ downloads, Chingari can be considered as an Indian alternative to the app. Here we won’t endorse Mitron app over here due to its controversial origin and recent ban by google owing to its missing privacy policy. Though this app has over 10 Million+ downloads now.

You can download chingari here.

 


Adobe Scan App
               Adobe Scan

2.CamScanner

Yes, we agree the app was apt. & quite handy when it came to quickly take a scan & sending the pdf across. Owing to its popularity, we almost failed to see that there is a much better app developed by one of the most popular developers Adobe. With over 10 million+ downloads, this app is the best app when it comes to our documents scan or pdf conversion of the same and that too with a trusted brand.

You can download this app here.

 


Files by Google
          Files by Google

3.Shareit, Xender and ES File Explorer

Wondering why all these handy sharing apps and file managers together?

We have an all in one better alternative by android developer google itself named as File by Google. The app has ….wait for it……… more than 500 million+ downloads. This shows the app is already widely popular throughout the world and we were busy using these mere apps.

You can download this app here.

 


Telegram
            Telegram

4. WeChat

Though the app was initially popular for its stickers but later was given a tough competition by Facebook-owned Watsapp with its upgraded features. Since WhatsApp is a very commonly used app today, we won’t discuss it either. We have another little lesser-used alternative but much better when it comes to features, even better than WhatsApp,  its Telegram. The app has many cloud-based features as well and is a unique experience in itself once you get used to its all features. Download it here.

 


Myntra
                  Myntra

5. Shein

Yes,  a big blow to most of the women was going down of their favorite fashion app Shein. However, when it comes to fashion and clothing, there are umpteen options out there. To name a one we would suggest Myntra for clothing and accessories for every occasion. A subsidiary of Flipkart, the app has more than 100 million downloads already.

So what are you waiting for download the app now!
