Whether your smartphone is new or second hand, the first thing you do is add some of your favourite apps.

We have shortlisted some essential apps across categories that are a must-have for every phone.

WhatsApp

According to an industry report recently released, the WhatsApp Messenger crossed Facebook to become the most popular Facebook-owned app in the last year. According to App Annie’s The State of Mobile 2019 report, Facebook is no longer the most popular mobile application, based on total monthly active users, among the social network’s various offerings. WhatsApp brings mass connectivity and is one of the most popular mobile social apps worldwide, for personal and professional use.

Instagram

Though Facebook has more downloads in comparison, Instagram is considered a more qualitative app. It is one of the most used social media application, largely by millennials. Instagram has more privacy and quality features, such as IGTV and as well as better filters. Today, the number of followers on Instagram has become a new status symbol for celebrities and sharing videos and photos by using #hashtags is the modern way to stay connected.  Instagram also has a feature which allows users to post photos and videos to other social networking sites.
