Top 10 Indian Alternatives to Banned Chinese Apps

The Government of India is emphasizing on Indian products very much and banned Chinese apps, saying that it was "prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defense of India, the security of the state and public order".

There are a total of 59 apps which was banned. With the ban on apps like Tiktok, talents are now looking for some alternatives which they can use for video creating. There are other applications too that were used for several days to day work that we will be discussing here. 

TikTok/Likee/Vigo/Kwai/Helo/Vmate/Bigo-These are Social media apps. The talk of the town is TikTok, which is a no 1 video-sharing app in the world. But then, the Indian government banned the application, and it took the searchers to an app called Chingari. It is India made short video sharing application. Within a few days, it crossed 1 million marks. Here, in this video, you get rewards for likes and comments. This app comes in 9 languages.

Mitron is another good alternative that is also an India origin app.

Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook- are another global alternative that can be used and are very popular.

UC browser/DU browser/CM browser- Apps like UC browser and DU browser had a good market share in India with a strong user base. And now that these apps are also banned, people can switch to Google Chrome browser or Firefox. But you are looking at some India applications then Jio browser, Bharat browser, Indian browser, or amigo browser.

We Chat/We Meet- These apps were used for chat and messaging. Few of the Indian alternatives are Hike, Jio Chat. And when we look for some of the global alternatives then we can go for WhatsApp, the Telegram messenger.

Share/Xender/ES File Explorer- These apps were for sharing files, pictures, videos, etc. The sharing of files was convenient through these applications. And now you can use an application called Jio Switch. It has got good reviews on the play store and it is an Indian application for secure file transfer. We can use Google Files, Send Anywhere for global alternatives.

Wonder Camera, You Cam Makeup, Selfie City, Beauty Plus, Sweet Selfie, Photo wonder, Meitu- These are photo beauty editor applications, used to beautify pictures. There were many filters installed in the apps. With the feature of auto corrections and apply filters, emoji's, one can use it easily.  The Indian alternative to the above application is Indian Selfie Camera, Light X. These are picture editor apps that used to add photo frames to pictures, make collages add stickers, beautify it, and also to blur the image.

 Viva Video, U Video, V Fly Status Video, Mi Video Xiaomi, DU Recorder, V Mate- These are video editing applications. Photo Video Maker with Music is an Indian alternative to these video apps. Kinemaster is another global alternative.

News Dog/UC News/ QQ Newsfeed- These are news sharing applications. Inshorts is a great alternative for watching the news. This is an Indian origin application. The company first launched for android in the year 2013 and later for iOS in 2015. Google news can be another application that can be used. It is a global alternative.

Zoom- Jio Meet is the alternative to this Video conferencing application. Zoom headquarters is based in the US. And now it is banned in India. So now our Indian alternative Jio Meet from Reliance Jio is the best alternative we have.

Weibo- Is a very popular microblogging website. Currently, there is no Indian alternative, except for Twitter which is an American application.

Baidu Map- this is used for map navigation. People have alternatives to choosing a global alternative Google Map, but if you are looking for some Indian alternative, then go for Map My India.

Clean Master/DU Battery Saver- These apps were used for boosting the performance of the mobile, for antivirus scanning, fast battery charging, and mobile security. The Indian alternative for this is K7 total security developed by K7 computing. With security features like blocking, anti-theft, scanning, etc. Also, Jio Security is a very good alternative, which good reviews on the play store. When we look at global alternatives then, McAfee and Norton are good for antivirus and security purposes.

Clash Of Kings/Mobile Legends- Very popular among kids. Ludo King is based on a board game. This is built by Gametion Technologies. This is a good alternative and a very popular game. It is easily available on the play store.

Shein, Club Factory, All Express- These are popular fashion e-commerce sites. These were popular in India due to heavy discounts. Now that these apps are banned, you can easily switch to Flipkart, Myntra, Ajio from Reliance retail, and Snapdeal. These are also some great choices. They have got good feedbacks from customers. Flipkart is an Indian e-commerce company based in Banglore, Karnataka, India. It was founded in 2007. Myntra was also founded in 2007 and later in 2014 it was acquired by Flipkart. Amazon is a global alternative, which is also a good option.

Conclusion- According to my opinion, there are many alternatives to these banned apps in India and globally as well. We can easily switch to this application for our ease and comfort. Even Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi gave the "ATAM NIRBHAR BHARAT APP" innovation challenge to the Indian tech entrepreneurs and startups to build a stronger ecosystem for Indian apps. He wants people to come forward and build a Digital India using Digital technologies. This challenge will include existing app innovation and new app formation. There will be various cash awards for this challenge winner. The winner will be tracked by identifying the best Indian app, already used by users. This is a great initiative by our Prime Minister. So, India is empowering and this will create more jobs and people will be more self-sufficient. Digital transformations, apps, and technologies are very important in this fast-growing world. With every passing day, technologies are evolving and with the use of apps and technologies, our life gets easier.
