Most of us are stuck at homes due to health concerns in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. If you are at home and unable to spend the time with your friends, then this application is for you. The implementation here is more or less like RAVE, where you can watch Netflix or any OTT with your friends, but Squad takes this to a whole new level. For starters, you can video chat with up to nine people.

There is no such thing called privacy in the current smart world. Whatever you watch, talk, and do the applications on your smartphones read and use them under the favor. If you are planning to browse anything private instead of opting for incognito mode, which can still access your location and other data, you can use any private browsing applications.

Brave Private Browser is one such application where you can browse fast, free, and privately, that too with no ads or minimal ads. There are no external plug-ins or setting here. The other features include a built-in ad blocker, secure bookmark sync, script blocker, private search engine.

Access Dots is one of my favorite applications on the list. As most of you already know, a lot of third-party applications access the camera and microphone in the background. Most of these applications are permitted to use the mic or camera as they are basic requirements for such apps. For instance, in order to use Facebook properly we need to give access to the camera and mic, and who knows what Facebook listens?

If you are worried about the same, then Access Dots is for you. The application is developed by XDA’s recognized developer jagan2 who created applications like Energy Ring, Energy Bar, and notch in the past.
