If you’re bothered by the tracking that follows us everywhere, here are some of the best privacy apps for Android and iOS devices. While most of these apps are available on both platforms, some are not yet available on iOS.
One of the reasons to go for privacy-focused apps is that it gives you the peace of mind of having your data secured. If you don’t want trackers snooping around your web activities, these privacy apps are your best bet. The best part is that most of these apps offer a free version too, so you’re not shelling out extra money to save your data.
Lastly, the apps on this list are not just to protect your privacy. These apps will also let you monitor your phone’s data consumption, keep your passwords safe, and save your device’s storage.
Best Privacy Apps For Android And iOS
Here are some of the best Android and iOS apps that you can download now. You can use these apps to send secure messages, browse the web tracker-free, keep your passwords safe, and much more.
Signal
A study by the Pew Research center says that over 75% of people use their phones for texting. If you’re worried about the privacy of messages, Signal is the app for you. Signal is an open-source app that works on the open-source signal protocol. Since the app is open source, any bugs are swiftly quashed and it’s an overall smooth experience.
The app is so serious about privacy that even your stickers are encrypted. Endorsed by Edward Snowden, it is one of the best secure messaging apps available for free. You can get the app for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux-based distros.
This one is a more popular secured-messaging app. Telegram is one of the best messaging apps when it comes to large groups and sharing media. Like Signal, Telegram is also open-source, and it uses the MTProto encryption protocol. There’s no limit on the size or number of media you can share on the app, which is great.
You can add up to 2,00,000 participants in a group, which is overkill for most, but a good feature.
Just like Swiss banks, ProtonMail is a Switzerland-based privacy-focused email service. You can sign up for the service without giving any personal details, and remain completely anonymous. ProtonMail lets you send encrypted, password-protected emails.
ProtonMail is an open-source service so you can use the basic version for free, or upgrade to one of its premium plans. You can download the app for Android and iOS.
I remember searching for a good pair of headphones on Google, and so does Google. While I decided to not go for those headphones now, Google showed me the ads for the same headphones for about three weeks. It’s nothing new when you search the web for something and all of a sudden, you see the same thing on every website.
DuckDuckGo is for users who want to avoid being ad-bombed for every internet search. It is one of the top privacy apps for Android and iPhone. The search engine does not link your search results to you for targeted ads, keeping your privacy and personal data intact. You can download the DuckDuckGo extension for your web browser, or download the app from the Play Store or the App Store.
Think of Firefox Focus as a casual privacy-savvy browser. It blocks ads and a large variety of web trackers by default. So whatever you do on the web is purely your business. Unlike Tor, Focus is fast, reliable, and isn’t blocked by any site. If you’re looking for absolute anonymity, you can go for the Tor browser, but it’s slower and many sites have blocked access from Tor.
You can get Firefox Focus from the Play Store or the App Store and use it as a standalone browser, or add its extension to Safari browser on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Friendly is a tidy tool to organize all your social accounts. The Friendly social browser is designed to run social media apps, so you don’t need a separate app for every social media platform you use. Some of the good features include the ability to organize your feed by keywords. If you’re looking for a privacy-focused browser for your social media accounts, Friendly is a good option.
The browser also lets you change the color theme and remove unwanted elements from your Facebook feed. The basic version is free and you can get it from the Play Store or the App Store.
From emails to social media, everything requires passwords. Your passwords are one of the most crucial elements of your digital lives. According to a report by Verizon, 80% of data breaches in 2019 were caused because of compromised passwords. So it’s a solid reason to get a password manager and keep your passwords safe.
Bitwarden is a free, open-source password management tool that’s available on the Play Store as well as the Apple App Store. It helps you generate and manage strong passwords that keep your online accounts secure.
Resilio Sync is a peer-to-peer data sync app, which can double up as your personal cloud storage. You can download Resilio sync on your laptop or computer, and install the accompanying app on your phone. By doing this, you can sync your entire computer with your phone.
If you don’t want to keep your data on the cloud, and if you have a spare computer, you can use Resilio sync to turn that computer into a server. By doing so, you’re able to directly sync your phone with your computer. An advantage of doing so is that you’re only limited by the storage on the server computer. No need to pay for extra cloud storage when you can make your own private server.
There are some other privacy apps that you can use to make your phone more secure. Hushed is one such app. Hushed is a paid app that gives you a burner (temporary) secondary number that you can use at different places. You can get the Hushed app on Android as well as iOS.
Another service is named Email On Deck. It gives you a disposable email address. If you don’t want to use your personal email for signing up for a demo, this is the app for you. In two simple steps, you can get a temporary email ID that will let you receive verification mails or OTPs. You can use it directly through a website.
Lastly, we have GlassWire. This is a paid data monitoring app for Android and Windows that comes with a built-in firewall. If an app is using data behind your back, you can use GlassWire to manage it.
In summation, you can protect your privacy using these free privacy apps, or you can opt-in for an upgrade. While the free ones are good for daily use, the advanced versions give you more control with added features and in some cases, additional storage. Once you start using an ad-free privacy-first web, you’ll like that side of the internet.
A recent survey report shows that only 1% of electric vehicles (EVs) owners want to go back to gasoline. The survey was carried out by a UK-based company Zap-Map over 2000 EV users.
Zap-Map is one of the UK’s leading electric car charging point finder apps and has over 100,000 registered users. Last month in November 2020, the company decided to conduct a poll which turned out to be quite interesting.
No doubt, the popularity of electric vehicles is booming, however, we had not expected it would be that much. Out of all 2000 owners, 91% said they would not go back to petrol or diesel-powered car, 8% of them weren’t sure, while only 1% showed a willingness to switch back to gasoline.

Also, the satisfaction rate for electric cars was found to be the highest with 92% followed by plug-in hybrid vehicles (84%), and ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles (72%).
2020 Acted As Catalyst In Electric Vehicles Sales

2020 might be remembered as a dark year, but it changed people and their thinking in a lot of ways. One area where it had a great impact is the auto industry. As soon as people witnessed the impact of restricting ICE cars and factories on the environment during the lockdown, it acted as a trigger.
The extent to which electric cars can benefit the environment is overwhelming. Also, electric vehicles nowadays are quite impressive in terms of performance as well.
As per the survey, out of all EV owners, 52% bought their vehicle in 2020 alone. This is in contrast to the 25% who switched to EVs in 2019 and a mere 1% in 2015.
Furthermore, 73% bought an EV or a PHEV for the first time in 2020.
Among all the electric cars, Volkswagen ID.3 was the one with a 100% satisfactory rate. Maybe, it’s the reason why the bookings of upcoming SUV VW ID.4 First Edition is already full in the US.
Followed by VW ID.3 was Tesla Model 3 and Kia e Niro each with 96% satisfactory rate.
We do know that the future is electric. Hence, automakers as well as the government are spending billions on building and improving the EV infrastructure.
So, just in case you are also planning to buy an EV in the future, then we recommend you go through our list of the best electric cars.
What makes Linux an incredible software is its ability to run on any hardware or platform. If you’re a geek yourself, then we’re pretty sure you don’t need any introduction to what you can do with Linux on your PC. Linux has become so popular today that even Microsoft and other big firms acknowledge it. In this article, let’s look at how to use Linux in Windows.
If you’re someone who wants to try out Linux, but you’re afraid that you might screw up something while dual-booting, this tutorial is for you. We’ll be looking at the two most popular methods to install Linux in Windows. In this tutorial, we’ll be using a Virtual Machine like Oracle’s VirtualBox, a popular tool used by professionals worldwide.
Step 1: Install Linux In Windows Using VirtualBox
First, head over to the official VirtualBox download page by clicking here and download the executable file by clicking on Windows Hosts.
2. Double-click on the downloaded file to launch the installer.
3. Now, all you need to do is click Next, and and a Windows network warning will be waiting for you. Click on Allow, and VirtualBox will be installed.
4. Click on Start, find the VirtualBox Manager app and open it.
Step 2: Adding The Ubuntu ISO
Now that we have installed VirtualBox, we need to download the Linux distribution we want to run. I’ll be downloading and using Ubuntu in this tutorial but, you can use any distribution.
Head over to the Official Ubuntu download page and download the latest LTS image.
2. In VirtualBox, click New.
3. In the new window that appears, in the name tab, type Ubuntu. The VM will automatically detect that you want to install Ubuntu. Then click on Next.
4. Give at least 2GB (2048 MB) of RAM and click on Next.
5. Check the option Create a virtual hard disk now and click Create.
6. By default, if you click Next and create a VDI, only 10GB of space will be allocated. Instead, click on Expert Mode and create a VDI of at least 25 GB.
7. Click on Create. You have now created a VDI. Now, all we need to do is select the Ubuntu image that you downloaded and install it.
8. Now, click on Start. The VM will start and ask you to select a virtual disk file. Add the Ubuntu ISO from where you downloaded it.
9. Finally, click on Choose and start the VM.
10. Ubuntu will now do a quick disk check. After it’s done, you’ll boot into the OS and the installation wizard.
Phew! Don’t give up; we’re almost done. Here comes the installation part.
11. Click on Install Ubuntu, select the keyboard layout and language, the installation type (make sure you select install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware and additional media formats option.
12. Finally, click on Install Now.
13. Select your Time zone and enter your name, your computer’s name, username, and password.
14. Sit back and relax.
You will be asked to restart the computer. Click on restart. When it prompts you to remove the installation media and click enter, click the enter key, and the OS will restart.
Voila! You have successfully installed Linux in Windows using VirtualBox. That was pretty easy, wasn’t it? Now all you need to do to boot again is open the VirtualBox manager and click on start.
Using Windows Subsystem For Linux V2.0
We’ve already written an article on how to install WSL2 on Windows. Some of the advantages of using WSL over a VM are better performance and lower resource usage, thanks to the tweaked Linux Kernel.
Having trouble following the steps in this tutorial? Let us know in the comments section below.

If you’re looking for upcoming electric cars in India, then you’ve come to the right place.
I understand the confusion of a modern millennial Indian when it comes to buying a car in 2021. Several of my friends have asked me ‘Is it worth it to buy an electric car over petrol in India’ or ‘Should we choose a CNG or diesel option for better efficiency or wait for an affordable electric car?’
Let me tell you, there are many but the answer to all of them is very simple. Yes, you should consider buying an electric car in India because the Indian government is offering heavy subsidies.
Also, to answer the next question, yes, you should wait for an affordable EV. To convince you guys to shift to electric, here are all the upcoming electric cars in India coming in 2021 and beyond.

1. Maruti Suzuki Wagon R Electric
Maruti Suzuki is always at the forefront of innovation. It is apparent with its plans to launch the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R electric car in the future, most probably 2021. The company is actively working on the upcoming Wagon R electric car. The car was spotted testing several times in the Gurgaon area of the Delhi-NCR region.
In terms of design, the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R electric looks quite similar to the Wagon R stingray model, which was launched a while back. A test version of the Maruti Suzuki electric car seems to feature a charging socket at the front end.
Electric Wagon R will likely be priced at twice the price of the current Wagon R at around Rs 12 lakh (ex-showroom). The expected price was revealed by the Maruti chief himself, however, this happened way before the Indian Government introduced heavy subsidies for manufacturers and buyers of electric cars. So, the final price of the Wagon R electric will be somewhere in the sub Rs. 10 lakh range.
The range of the upcoming Wagon R electric will be somewhere between 200-300 km on a single charge. While the current Wagon R has a wide body in addition to being tall, the Wagon R electric will most likely feature a traditional tall-boy design.
2. Maruti Suzuki Ertiga Electric
The popular Multipurpose Utility Vehicle from Maruti could get an electric treatment very soon. An anonymous source close to Maruti Suzuki claims the company is working on an Ertiga Electric car. Needless to say, it will be one of the most awaited upcoming electric cars in India.
The Ertiga electric car will be different in dimensions compared to the conventional Ertiga. The revised dimensions will be done to accommodate the massive electric battery and motor to power the Ertiga electric car.
The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga electric car will launch after the Wagon R electric. Recently, Maruti has also confirmed that they will be focusing on CNG and hybrid vehicles first while working on fully electric cars in the background. The CNG variant of Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is already being offered by the automaker.
The company has also been working with Toyota Motor Co. to develop hybrid vehicles. Maruti, Toshiba Corp, and Denso Corp have also been working to develop a locally made lithium-ion manufacturing plant in Gujarat, India.
The upcoming Ertiga Electric car will benefit from the research in this plant. The expected price of the Ertiga electric will lie in the premium segment.
3. Tata Altroz EV Electric Car
Tata Motors has announced that they will be launching four new electric vehicles for India in a time span of 12 to 18 months. Tata Motor’s upcoming Altroz EV is expected to be one of those upcoming electric cars in India. The electric car was revealed during the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland earlier this year.
The upcoming EV for India has a range of 250-300 km on a single charge. For a small hatchback, this kind of range is enough. If you commute a total of 50km each day, on a single charge, the battery of Altroz EV will last you for at least 5 days. Furthermore, according to Tata Motors, the Altroz will only take 1 hour to charge from 0 to 80 percent.
The ICE variant of Tata Altroz has made quite an impression on the masses ever since its launch. Hence, we expect Tata Motors will make all possible efforts to maintain that aura.
The price of the Tata Motors Altroz electric car hasn’t been revealed but it is likely to be in the Rs 10-12 lakh range, targeting Wagon R electric car.
4. Tata Tigor EV
This particular electric car from Tata is currently available for users to drive. Tata Motors has not made the car available to personal car buyers, however, you can snatch one up for the day using car rental services like Zoomcar.
Talking about the Tata Tigor Electric car itself, it looks just like the conventional EV. It has a 16.2 kWh battery capable of delivering up to 150 km/h. Although electric car enthusiasts might think that Tata Tigor EV must be faster than conventional Tigor but it’s not true.
Tata Tigor will take around 6 hours to charge from 0% to 80%. However, with a DC fast charger, a similar amount of charging can be done in just 1.5 hours.
The Tigor EV is slower than the Tigor petrol AMT version due to a smaller battery and power output. Tata motors currently supply this car to the government but several politicians have complained about a lack of power and efficiency in the electric car.
Tata Motors has promised to revamp the electric powertrain of the Tigor EV in the near future. The official car launch of the Tata Tigor EV will take place in the next 12 months. It’s expected that the price would be around Rs. 10 lakh. With this price point, Tata Tigor is one of the best upcoming electric cars in India.
5. Mahindra eXUV 300 Electric
Mahindra was one of the manufacturers that launched an electric car in India before any subsidies from the government became available. The first electric car from the manufacturer was the Mahindra e2o which had a battery range of 120 km.
Mahindra XUV 300 is a popular SUV in India from Mahindra. It sits below the famous XUV 500 which has been around for some time. Hence, it would be a great move to bring the electric model of XUV 300 to India.
Mahindra is currently planning three electric SUVs for India, including eKUV 100, eXUV 300, and an electric version of the Ford Aspire that will wear a Mahindra badge. The eXUV 300 with a range of 350-400 km will launch sometime in 2021. The size of the battery of eXUV is not known, but it could be around 40kWh, judging by the fact that a similar-sized SUV, Hyundai Kona, also has a 39.2 kWh battery.
The price of the Mahindra XUV 300 starts from Rs 8.1 lakh (ex-showroom), so we can expect the price of the eXUV 300 to be between Rs 15-16 lakh. If Mahindra can deliver on solid battery range, then the eXUV might just become one of the best upcoming electric cars in India.
6. Mahindra eKUV 100
This upcoming electric car in India was showcased at the Auto Expo 2018 held in Greater Noida. The Mahindra eKUV 100 looked exactly like the conventional Mahindra KUV 100, which is now in its second generation refresh. The eKUV 100 has a similar design language, alloy wheels, and a two-tone paint scheme as the current petrol/diesel KUV 100 model.
The Mahindra eKUV 100 is reported to have a 150 km range upon full charge. However, judging by the fact that even Tata Tigor EV, which is a sub-compact, has a similar claimed range of 150 km, the production version of Mahindra eKUV 100 will likely have a similar battery range. The Mahindra eKUV 100 will also have fast charging capabilities.
The launch date of the Mahindra eKUV 100 is expected to be sometime next year. It’s expected the price will be around Rs 10-12 lakh.
7. Ford/Mahindra Aspire Electric
An upcoming electric car from the joint venture between Ford and Mahindra will be the electric version of the Ford Aspire wearing a Mahindra badge. Ford joined hands with Mahindra to reduce costs in emerging markets like India and offer its products at a competitive price. Currently, both companies are working on a mid-size SUV for India.
A recent report confirmed that the upcoming Ford Aspire electric car will be a full-fledged sedan instead of the sub-compact SUV which is available in India. The 4.2 meter Ford Aspire sedan is currently manufactured in India but exported to other countries like South Africa.
A mule of the upcoming Aspire electric car was tested recently by a group of Auto Journalists. The car in question was fitted with the 72V battery system shared by the Mahindra e-Verito electric car. The Ford Aspire electric will likely have a 25 kWh battery pack that produces 81.5 BHP of power. The estimated battery range of the Aspire electric car is 150 km, however, Mahindra is targetting at least 200 km of battery range in the final production model.
The price of the Ford Aspire Sedan will be under Rs 15 lakh due to several recent subsidies from the government for the faster adoption of electric vehicles.
8. Nissan Leaf
The second most famous electric car in the world is coming to India. Nissan Leaf is a name synonymous with environment-friendly vehicles. This car is a pop culture icon featured in several movies, TV shows, and a lot more.
Nissan Leaf was recently spotted testing in India with a Maharastra registered number plate. The Indian version of the Nissan Leaf will be powered by a 40 kWh battery capable of producing 148 PS of power and 320 Nm of torque. The Nissan Leaf Indian version will likely have a 400 km battery range. Hyundai Kona also uses a similar-sized battery with a 451 km of ARAI certified range.
However, just like Hyundai Kona, the Nissan Leaf will be an imported product and will cost around Rs 30 lakh in India.
9. Tata Tiago EV
Tata Tiago might very well be the fourth undisclosed electric car from Tata motors expected to launch in the next 18 months. It was showcased during the 2018 Auto Expo alongside Tata Tigor EV.
Similar to Tata Tigor Electric, the Tata Tiago EV is also powered by an identical 16.2 kWh electric battery. The resulting battery range on the Tata Tiago EV will be higher due to the smaller size of the car.
However, unlike the Tata Tigor EV which can be rented using the car rental services, the Tiago EV isn’t available yet.
The range of the Tata Tiago electric range will be somewhere between 180-230 km after a full charge. The Tata Tiago EV will get charged up to 80% from zero in just 1.5 hours using fast charging. Conventional charging will take around 6 hours to charge the car for up to 80%.
10. Hyundai Electric Car
After the successful launch of the Hyundai KONA electric SUV in India, the company is also planning to invest a sizeable amount of funds to make an affordable electric car-focused for the Indian audience.
This unannounced vehicle will take advantage of the amazing battery management system of Hyundai KONA combined with affordable auto parts available in India. For instance, the Indian version of Hyundai KONA electric SUV with a 39 kWh battery delivers 452 km of range while the same version offers only 238 km of range in other countries.
This is courtesy of the excellent battery management that Hyundai has utilized for the KONA. The company will likely employ the same technique to extract more juice out of the battery of its upcoming Indian-focused electric car.
Details about the upcoming Hyundai electric car are scarce at the moment, however, we do know that it will be more affordable than Hyundai KONA electric SUV, which is currently priced at Rs. 23 lakh after government subsidies.
Furthermore, Hyundai will make its upcoming electric vehicle as either a compact sedan or a mini-SUV to further cut down on cost.
11. Renault Zoe
This electric car from the French Automaker Renault is already on sale in foreign markets. The Renault Zoe is an electric hatchback with a range of 390 km on a single charge. This car has received an update earlier this year and it features a host of new design changes. The Renault Zoe electric car features a 52 kWh battery that supports 50 kW DC fast charging. The 2020 Renault Zoe is powered by a 100 kW motor producing 245 Nm of torque. The car has a 0-60 mph time of under 10 seconds and a top speed of 140 km/h.
The Renault Zoe is yet to be confirmed for India. Recently Renault India CEO Venkatram Mamillapalle announced the company’s plan to bring an electric SUV based on Triber-platform and one more electric vehicle to India. The former unknown Renault electric vehicle could be Zoe. Both of these cars will likely arrive by 2022, according to the company’s CEO.
12. Renault Triber Electric SUV
As confirmed by Renault India CEO, the Renault Triber Electric SUV will hit the market in 2022. Details are thin about the Renault Triber Electric SUV at the moment. It will be similar in design to the recently launched Triber with 7 seats and a spacious cabin.
The reason for not bringing electric cars to India right now is the lack of infrastructure. India is still devoid of the recommended number of electric charging stations. Very recently one EV charging station was opened in the Delhi-NCR region of Greater Noida.
So expect the automakers to increase their pace of launching electric vehicles as the country’s EV charging infrastructure develops.
Upcoming Electric Cars in India in the Premium Segment
13. Audi e-Tron SUV
The first electric car from the Volkswagen-owned Audi group was an SUV called e-Tron. The entire range of electric vehicles from Audi will be brought under the e-Tron banner in the coming years.
The e-Tron banner is available outside of India at a price point of around £53,800 or $65,900. According to a report, the car will be launched at a whopping Rs 1.2 crore on-road in India.
However, with such a huge price point, the battery range of the e-Tron SUV is not that impressive. The car only delivers a range of 400 km on a single charge, which is less than what the Hyundai KONA electric SUV delivers that costs almost 1/4th worth of Audi e-Tron.
The Audi e-Tron has a liquid-cooled 95kWh which takes 8.5 hours to charge using an 11kWh charger. Two more charging options are available for Audi e-Tron outside of India. The Audi electric SUV can be charged using a 22kWh charger in under 4.5 hours and also using a super-fast 150kWh (0-80% charging) charger in under 30 minutes.
The Audi e-Tron is expected to launch in India by the last quarter of 2021.
14. Mercedes EQC
The Mercedes EQC 400 4MATIC is a premium electric SUV from Mercedes which has a battery range of around 445-471 km on a full charge. This premium SUV has a battery capacity of 85 kWh and a top speed of around 180 km/h.
The Mercedes EQC is currently available in countries like the UK and Netherlands. It’s priced around £62,140 in the United Kingdom. So expect the car to launch in India with an on-road price of around Rs. 60-62 lakh.
In terms of value proposition, the Mercedes EQC is quite better than the Audi e-Tron which is expected to cost a whopping Rs. 1.2 crore, when launched in India.
The Mercedes EQC premium electric SUV will likely launch in India by July 2021.
