If you want to keep in touch with others despite restrictions on contacts, it is particularly easy with a messenger. One of these tools is leading the iOS top apps this week. But a streaming service is also particularly popular.
Berlin (dpa-infocom) - It probably doesn't work without Messenger at the moment. If you don't have one, download it now at the latest. It is surprising that iOS users are increasingly opting for a paid app.
The 3.99 euro app "Threema" promises more protection for the private sphere. Not only can encrypted voice calls be made, but the messages are also deleted immediately after delivery. In addition, the contacts are managed securely on your own device instead of on a server. Another feature: With "Threema Web", the instant messenger can be conveniently used from the PC. The WhatsApp competitor is number one on the iOS app charts this week.
If you have to spend a lot of time in your own four walls, varied entertainment is of course also required. These offer various streaming services. If you want to be well informed, you can currently rely on the free "ZDFheute - Nachrichten" app, which ranks eighth. But iOS users prefer to watch children's and family films, as the placement of "Disney +" shows. The number one among the most loaded iPad apps delivers a lot of TV material. These include films from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic. But television programs and series also fill the program. According to the provider, a total of over 100 titles are available in 4K UHD and HDR.
