These apps aren't needed on Android phones, yet everyone still does. Don't download them from now on.

If you use an Android smartphone, many apps aren't necessary, but people still download them. Now, your phone handles all the tasks of these apps on its own.

A few years ago, buying a new phone required downloading numerous apps to set it up. Many people would first download apps for photo editing and RAM boosting. This was because the built-in apps weren't powerful at the time, but things have changed. Now, phones come with many built-in tools, eliminating the need for many apps altogether. Today, we'll explore which apps no longer need to be downloaded on your phone.

Photo Editing Apps

If you need to edit photos for general use, there's no need to download a separate third-party app. Now, with the advent of AI, many editing options are available within Google Photos. Phones now offer options that can quickly remove unwanted objects from photos. Similarly, companies like Samsung and Apple are also offering a variety of image editing tools.

Video Player

Until a few years ago, almost every mobile phone came with VLC, MX Player, or another video player. This was because some file formats weren't supported by the built-in video player, but that's no longer the case. Android now supports almost every video format. Similarly, Google Photos also supports every format.

QR and Document Scanner Apps

QR codes are everywhere these days, from restaurants to metro stations. Scanning them doesn't require downloading a separate app. Your Android phone's camera can now do the job. If your phone's camera isn't scanning codes, you can enable the QR code scanning feature in the camera settings.

RAM Booster Apps

Until a few years ago, every smartphone user had a cleaner or booster app on their phone. These apps claimed to do everything from clearing junk files to speeding up your phone with just a tap. Now, these apps are no longer needed. Android manages memory on its own. No matter how many apps you have on your phone, your phone's system optimizes everything in the background.
