Google Duo calls
Google’s official app store has lots of video calling apps. We are all familiar with the popular Zoom and Skype. Some people prefer to call directly into voicemail, but there’s an app from Google that’s much more convenient to use when it comes to day-to-day communication with friends and family.
One of the best communication apps for Android is
Google Duo. It is a completely free application which makes it easy to contact another follower on Android phones and tablets. This also applies to devices from your Chromebook, computers, and even iOS devices.
To help! In fact, it is an analogue of Facetime on Apple devices, but not tied to a single ecosystem. The program works with a phone number or an email address and has interesting filters and even screen sharing on some devices.

The advantage of the application is deep integration into the Android system, which other programs cannot boast of. Already from the phonebook, you can press a separate button to call the subscriber immediately from Google Duo. The program instantly opens and makes a call. With sufficient network coverage and a stable internet connection, everything works almost perfectly.
Gboard keyboard
Chances are your new Android smartphone already has Google’s default keyboard installed, but some manufacturers replace it with others like Microsoft’s SwiftKey or their own keyboards. They do their job well, but Google Keyboard has a number of unique features that you won’t find in other apps.
gboard from Google has a great layout that supports features like swipe/sheet input, GIF and Emoji search, and more. There are even unique features like Emoji Kitchen, which can create fun emoji stickers on the fly.

Today, more than ever, the issue of personal security needs increased attention because almost everything we do is connected in one way or another to the network. It is never worth neglecting such a familiar thing as passwords for mail, social networks and the like.
But how do you remember so many passwords and not confuse the one that corresponds to the right account? This is where various password generating and saving apps come in.
One of the best apps for this: 1Password, DashLane and Bitwarden. All of them are easy to use and will save your passwords securely.

Google KeepNotes
Notes help us organize our workflow, remind us of important things, things or dates, and are generally an extremely useful tool if you need to write something down quickly. Since our smartphone is always close and at hand, it makes sense to have a notepad inside so that you always have access to necessary and important records.
As there are hundreds of other important notepad apps in play store. All of them offer dozens of different features and capabilities, but almost always the most “interesting” features are hidden behind a paid subscription.
Google Keep is an application that combines a number of useful features and at the same time is absolutely free for users. It’s also a notebook, planner, and sketchbook with multi-account access and cloud sync, where you can make edits and create new notes right on your PC.

Messengers (telegram, signal)
If you need a program for better messaging, you can go beyond regular SMS – dozens of instant messengers from different developers are at your service. Almost every service today has its own messenger, so you need to choose the one with which you have the most contact. to the very popular Viber or WhatsApp. However, unlike those apps, Telegram easily works on multiple smartphones or tablets at the same time and automatically backs up all messages.
Plus, everything is always end-to-end encrypted, and voice and video calling are available to you. The program is constantly being improved with updates and has significantly improved the messaging experience, and recently received a stable video call function.
Signal is an even more privacy-focused messaging program that became particularly popular when Meta’s WhatsApp came under fire for its new privacy policy.
