Cool Android Apps You Should Have On Your Smartphone (Part 3)

Trusted Contacts

This is very similar to the find my friends feature with iOS and basically, what you do is you can choose a certain number of trusted friends and then that will allow them to basically send a request to your phone to see where you are. It's optional on your side so what happens is they send a request and then you'll get a pop up or something that says yes send my location or no, I don't want them to know where I am.

Although another nice feature is if you don't respond within a certain number of minutes that you can choose, then it will actually automatically send your location to the person who requested it. It's kind of like an emergency feature, if you don't have access to your phone or you passed out, then they request it by default and it'll send it back.

Files Go

Files Go app is nice because it has some features specifically dealing with saving data storage on your phone, so it's going to have things that will allow you to free up space, like the ability to remove junk data, temporary files or if there are photos that are already backed up to Google photos and you don't necessarily need them on your phone.

It will give you the option to delete and it'll also let you actually see which apps are taking up the most space and how often you use those apps. If there’re apps that it notices you almost never use and takes up a lot of data might not be a bad idea to just delete it. You could always re-download if you really want but not only does it let you save space, it actually has a built-in file manager as well.

Another cool thing about this app that really surprised me is it lets you send files to nearby friends who also might have the app which is pretty cool. lots of features built into this app might be worth getting.
