While glitzy apps like Instagram and Snapchat hog the limelight, there is a category of apps that almost every other Indian uses but hardly ever talks about. These are useful, important apps that we have so incorporated into our daily lives. So why is it that people are not talking about them? Simply because they don’t grab attention. They just work. Here are the top 7 Powerful apps that Indians use on a daily basis, yet for some odd reason never mention.
1. Truecaller
From spam calls to unwanted numbers, everybody has Truecaller. One looks the app up to check whether or not to receive calls. Conversely, it does not really get discussed that much. Perhaps it’s not glam enough for some? Plus, it’s a utility: there, always helping, never making a noise.
2. IRCTC Rail Connect
From the ticket-booking process to confirming the live train status-it’s just there. But hardly getting any credit apart from travel forums, maybe for some of these reasons missings smooth services now and then. Yet goes ahead and does the job.
3. DigiLocker
Holding Aadhaar, PAN, driver’s license, etc., DigiLocker is a game-changer. But what makes it keep quiet? Probably something about being government-backed, safe, and lacking any glamour to be “cool” attraction app.
4. BHIM UPI
While PhonePe and Google Pay are hogging the limelight, BHIM is set for rock solid transfers. It is being used for its speed and simplicity. But no one makes a post about it. Why? Because it is function-driven, not audience-driven.
5. MyJio
Jio users check their balance, buy data, and grab offers daily. But it is a “default” app, hardly talked about. One does wonder, though; if we are using this app so frequently, why not give it some credit?
6. Aarogya Setu
Though it enjoyed its high days during COVID-19, it remains relevant. But no one gives it a mention nowadays—maybe because of pandemic fatigue or its lower-key interface.
7. Google Go
Google Go app rules the low-data zones, best suited for rural India. Users may not realize how much they depend on it, thus no buzz.
