Cool Android Apps - 2021

Cool New Android Apps - 2021

Today I'm going to tell you the coolest new android apps that you should be using on your phone right away.

so let's start...

1. Privacy Dashboard

Android 12 has introduced a useful new privacy dashboard feature and the app I'm talking about brings the same functionality to every other android device with the exact same name.  the app is called privacy dashboard. and just like the android 12 feature, it shows you a log off when apps have used the different important permissions be the location, camera, or the mic. you can also tap on the specific permission like the location option here to see a timeline of which apps have used this permission. same with the other permissions. I think this is a great app because we all know android 12 is still a long time away and in fact, a lot of older devices won't get the update so this app brings a very important feature to everyone and this app also brings you privacy indicators.

2. Opera gx: Gaming browser

so opera's new gaming browser called opera gx. recently arrived on android and it's actually a very interesting browser. now let me just clear this opera gx is called the gaming browser because if you look at its home page you get this really nice release calendar for all the big games beats on console. pc mobile Nintendo switch, etc. there's also info about free games you can play new arrived and interesting games, game deals, game trailers and news and stories about games. now this is all cool but my flow feature in the opera gx is pretty useful. unless you send links images and notes between your phone and your pc. in a very simplified manner apart from that the browser has different gaming specific themes which I think look cool. there's also a fast action button for navigation which really makes switching between tabs very easy. it also has other features like cryptocurrency mining protection, power blocking, and more.

3. Spren notification manager

So iOS 15 brought this notification summary feature which kind of combines all promotional and unnecessary notifications. well, spren notification manager does a similar job on android with sprint you can choose which app notifications you want to see in the notification center like your messages or other important notifications. now the apps you don't choose will have the notifications tagged in. in spren a sort of summary and you just can take a look at them whenever you want. this way your notification center is not cluttered with promotional notifications. apart from that, you can also check the notification history in the app and I like the feature which automatically copies any OTP. it's super handy.

4. Mind leak - use Apps Less

So I'm pretty sure you'd relate to this. so I'm who use my phone a lot and sometimes when I'm just using my phone I just go on an endless crawl especially in Instagram. yeah I just get addicted and I just keep doing it for a long long time and that really wastes my time.

now that's where mine leak comes in super handy. so this app tells you when you have used an app for too long aka when you have had a mine leak now this is handy for apps like Instagram so here you can set the trigger for Instagram. I'm gonna go with 10 minutes now when I've used Instagram continuously for 10 minutes and I've been just endlessly scrolling the gif telling me time passed. I have had a mind leak that's super handy because I realized that. 

5. Android 12 clock widgets

So with android 12 google finally gave some attention to widgets and I'll be honest. some of these videos look really cool well you can actually get these android 12 widgets on any android smartphone right now see for the android 12 clock widgets it's pretty simple this app called android 12 clock widgets pretty aptly brings most of the cool new clock widgets that we've seen in android 12 and you can just add any one of these widgets very quickly.

. But if you want the other widgets like say the new calendar widget or the weather widget you'll have to get kwgt pro that costs $5.33.

. You'll also have to install android 12 widgets for kwgt pro that cost $0.84. now once you've installed both these apps you can just use kwgt pro to add these cool android 12 widgets on your home screen now. I know kwgt can get a little confusing so we have a step-by-step guide for the same that you can check out.

6. Naptime - the real battery saver

Now, this is a super useful app if you want better battery life from your android smartphone. it basically makes android's door system a lot better. so for people who don't know when you don't use your phone for a long duration of time. android's door system kicks in and restricts your CPU usage in the background. as well as restricting network activity in apps when naptime just makes sure that the device goes into this door mode sooner. so it has aggressive door option which will make sure your phone goes into doors in a few minutes once you stop using your phone. now you can keep this on or schedule it to turn on at the night or you know anytime else.  I've been using this and I've noticed almost a 20% increase in my screen on time and even the night battery drain is a lot lesser. so I think you should check out naptime.
