Google is famous for its mega-popular apps like Google Photos, Google Maps, and Chrome, but what about the lesser-known, hidden gems that most of us have probably never tried? Get ready to be amazed because we’re bringing you three Google apps so good, you’ll feel like you’ve been using them forever, but you’ve actually been ignoring them until now!
First up is Google Gallery – no, not Google Photos! This is old-school, simple, and fast image viewer app for your phone, with no backup or cloud complications. If you’ve ever just wanted to quickly check the latest screenshot or a WhatsApp meme without dealing with syncing and AI suggestions, Gallery is your new best friend. It works completely offline, fast and efficiently, perfect for those who don’t want to fuss with a bunch of extra features they don’t need.
Next is Google Go – maybe you thought it’s just an app for budget phones in developing countries? Wrong! Google Go is a quiet star among Google apps with two genius features that will win you over: a search bar at the bottom of the screen, a lifesaver for big phone users, and one-tap incognito search without opening Chrome or worrying about cookies. Yes, it lacks dark mode and development has slowed, but this app is so simple and handy you’ll keep coming back to it.
And last but not least, Google PhotoScan – the app that will save your memories! If you have old paper photos gathering dust in albums or boxes, PhotoScan digitizes them like a pro. It doesn’t just snap a picture; it scans four corners, removes glare, and corrects angles, giving you a perfect digital copy. It’s so easy to use that even your parents or grandparents can handle it without trouble.
These three apps aren’t just useful; they prove Google has way more to offer than what meets the eye. If you’ve only been using the standard Google apps so far, it’s time to broaden your horizons and give these hidden gems a shot. And if you’re already using any of them or have a favorite Google app others don’t know about, drop a comment and share your experience – maybe you’ll discover the next big hit!
Don’t be boring, try something new and tell us how it goes! Who knows, maybe Google Gallery or PhotoScan will save your day, or Google Go will become your favorite search buddy. And if you have a funny meme or story about these apps, don’t hold back – share it with us so we can all laugh and learn something new together!
