WhatsApp
WhatsApp is one of those apps I use because everyone around me does, it’s the default way to communicate in my community. If I had the chance to switch to something else, I’d love to try new options, but other messaging apps aren’t as commonly used here. With recent updates, like Channels, WhatsApp seems to be moving toward a more social network-like experience, giving space to larger creators instead of focusing only on personal communication. The Channels section now stays visible in the Status tab, even though I don’t use it. Similarly, AI features have been added to search and stickers, and there’s no way to turn them off. That said, WhatsApp still works well and does what it’s meant to do. I just wish there were more options to customize the experience and hide the features I don’t need.
Google Calendar
Google Calendar is a simple and clean calendar that I use on my browser and Android phone. I like that it recently added dark mode and has great customization options. I can create different calendars and use colors to separate work and personal life easily. No matter how many other calendar apps I try, I always come back to this one because it works so well. The only thing I would change is the colors for Google Tasks. I wish each task list could have its own color to make it easier to tell them apart, like work tasks and personal tasks.
