Social Networking Apps
Social networking apps allow us to connect with friends and family members. The main motive of these
apps is to keep track of the lives of your friends, family, and some other people whom you do not meet
regularly. By using social networking apps, you can share your personal and professional views, photos,
and videos. Some people also use these apps to expand their businesses and spread their products
around the world.
Some of the most used social networking apps are Facebook,
LinkedIn, and WhatsApp.
Communication Apps
Communication apps allow us to communicate with each other by sending and receiving messages,
information, and opinions in the form of texts, videos, and audios. These apps also allow us to see the
face of the person with whom you are talking.
The most used communication apps are Skype, Messenger, and
Google Meet.
E-Commerce Apps
E-commerce means to buy or sell products on an online service over the Internet. E-commerce apps
allow us to buy or sell products while sitting at home or any other place.
Amazon is the leading online marketplace which provides an
excellent shopping experience to their users. Some other examples
of the E-commerce apps are Flipkart and Blinkit.
DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING THE APP
As you already know that an app is a software program. Hence, to use any app, you need to first
install it on your mobile device. As we have already learned, Google’s Play Store and Apple’s App
store are the most commonly used app stores. Among these two, Google’s Play Store is more popular
due to the huge market of Android devices give a space before. So we are taking an example of an
Android device to install an app from the Google’s Play Store.
To download and install an app on an Android device, perform the following steps:
Step 1: Tap on the Play Store icon of your Android mobile. The home screen of the Google's Play
Store appears.
Step 2: Type the name of the app or related keyword in the Search for apps & games box at the top.
In our case, we have typed the learning english grammar keyword. A list of related apps
appears.
Step 3: Tap on the app you want to install. In our case, we have tapped the Grammar EN app. The
App info screen appears.
Step 4: Tap on the Install button. The downloading of the app will start. When the downloading is
completed, the installation process will start automatically. Within few seconds, your app will
be installed on your mobile and the Uninstall and Open buttons will appear on the Google’s
Play Store home screen.
