Once Essential, Now Obsolete: A Look at My Mobile App Graveyard

Dear Hive Friend and Hive Learner Members,

The mobile experience has changed a lot after the introduction of the smart phones. The basic purpose of a mobile phone was to connect with others and person can talk in real time even when they are at distance. I remember the days when one of my cousin form metro city comes to our village to meet us and he was carrying his Nokia mobile phone with him. This was the time when the mobile network was a big challenge for the users in villages and remote area. He use to goes to tarence for make calls. When I purchase my first phone it was the start of smart phone and but my first phone was basic phone only with colored screen. My first smart phone I purchased when I joined the first job and it was form HTC, and powerd with the android operating system. The android os was the big revolution in mobile industry and the play store was the main attraction for where the users were free to download the application as per their interest. This varied form games to sports, news to entertainment and their were thousands of apps for the users.

The app installation features was one of the best feature which give the users the freedom to customize their phone. As per requirement users can install or uninstall the application and that is also very easy. But this also leads to the habit of keeping some unnecessary apps on phone. We keep installation and never look back at some applications in our phone. Their is not much harm in such cases but they keep using the storage and some time the data also. I was also a big fan of apps and use to try the new application available in my free time. But now days the life becomes busy and I do not get free time and after joining the web3 space I prefer to divert my free time on web3 social media platforms. If I look into my phone then I find some applications just laying in my phone and form quite some time I have not used them. They are just filling the storage and may not be useful now. Some of them are pre-installed and som of them I installed afterwards may be for some reason but now they are of no use for me.

I hate the concept of pre-installed application on mobile. Those application you recieved along with the OS itself and some of them you can not uninstall also and if you uninstall they will comeback with new update of OS. I also has some of such useless application and one of them is Coin Switch. I have never used the application even it is related to crypto world and work as a platform for selling and purchasing the cryptocurrecies.
LinkedIn is another application I have not used from years now. This may be good for some one but I am not find much usefulness of it, may be because of the interface. I am not a person who want to switch the job frequently and this may also be the some reason as this is good application to make professional links and helps in finding a new job.
I love to edit the photos and video, so you will find application related to same. But two application I installed in past are not much used my me are Filmora and Snapseed. Both the application are very usefull for the photo and video editing and are leader in their domain with good user base but I do not get much time to explore them and that is the reason I am not using them. For photo editing I am more comfortable with the Snapseed application which is easy to use and I have good hand on same. In similar wasy the a application form Nokia which I used in past to transfer the photos form my Nokia camera to mobile but those photos took a big portion of phone memory so I stoped using it and it get connected by bluetooth which is very slow and took lots of time to transfer the files. Basically because of those two reasons I am not using it.

Now the internet connectivity is good and download and upload speed is also awesome. In past I use to download movies form internet on my PC and transfer the same on my mobile phone to watch during the long journey. But now days the download feature of Netflix and Amazon Prime make us more easy and it reduce the use of a video player on mobile phones. In past I mostly use the Mx Player but now days it's sitting idle in my phone and I do not know why I have not uninstall it.
