Apps to explore to stay connected during lockdown

Apps to explore to stay connected during lockdown

Having good, deep and meaningful conversations, sharing jokes and generally spending time with family and/or friends, are things that many people long for during lockdown.

However, thanks to several Apps, we can keep in contact with our loved ones, enjoy their company and still adhere to the lockdown regulations.

Here’s a list of Apps and social media platforms you can use:

*Whatsapp
*Facebook
*Snapchat
*Zoom
*Instagram
*Skype
*WeChat
*FaceTime
*Messenger
*Netflix (you can create a Netflix party where you and your friends can watch Netflix online, and it also has a group chat feature)

All the apps listed have features where you can have video chats with someone or with a group of people. You can even host virtual events online since many social events have been cancelled.

We all are going through this, you are not alone. So, feel free to contact a friend or two, or a loved one. Communication can help ease the anxiety and panic. This way, you can stay connected to your loved ones and it may lift your mood and spirits.

At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!
