Boycott Chinese Apps: Indian alternative to Chinese apps

Boycott Chinese products – this slogan has been doing rounds for quite some time in India but sadly has not made a big impact. But the call to boycott Chinese products is once again gaining strength among Indians on social media. The Galwan valley face-off has strengthened the campaign further. Hashtags Boycott Chinese Apps and Chinese app alternatives have been trending over the internet since then. Indians have been aggressively searching for Indian applications that can be alternatives to Chinese apps. The government of India has taken steps to keep trade with China in check. Today, as many as 47 Chinese apps have been banned by the Government of India after a recent ban on 59 Chinese apps. Additionally, as many as 275 apps are on the radar. These apps have Chinese origin /links or are clones of the previously banned Chinese apps. The complete list is to be released soon. But it is believed that PubG Mobil might be present on the list. Additionally, apps like Tiktok Lite, Helo Lite, SHAREit Lite, BIGO LIVE Lite, and VFY Lite are expected to feature in the list of 47 apps. Here is a list of Chinese apps that have been banned by the Indian government and security agencies.

Bolo Indya – Alternative to Tik Tok

Bolo Indya App

Indian app, Bolo Indya, has a very unique concept of short videos and focuses primarily on infotainment instead of entertainment. Founder Varun Saxena told a leading daily that they want users to create and consume only good and valuable content on their platform. This is quite different from TikTok where anything and everything can go viral. “On our platform one needs to post quality content to go viral and get popular,” said Saxena. Upon checking we found that the content on the Bolo Indya app is informative, and competes with #Edutok instead of all the lip-syncing videos on the app.

Looking for Indian Brands? Here are some high-quality Indian brands from each category that you should definitely try

2. Roposo – Alternative to Tik Tok

roposo app

Roposo is not a new app and has been around for quite some time now. The app is available on both on App store and Google Play store. The seed idea of the app is the same as TikTok but is not an exact replica of Tikitok like Mitron(aka TicTik). This app allows users to create and share videos. Roposo provides more flexibility to users by allowing them to create their own original videos. They can also use an audio clip to make videos similar to TikTok. Roposo app currently has more than 50 million users onboard and boasts 4.3 ratings on the Google Play store and 4.5 on Apple App store. The UI of the app is also very user-friendly.

3. ShareChat – Alternative to TikTok

ShareChat App

ShareChat is another Indian app that can help boycott Chinese apps. The app provides video creation like Tiktok, and provides content for FB status and forwards. Additionally, it allows you to interact with people. This Indian alternative to Chinese apps can definitely give many a run for their money. The app allows users to select from as many as 17 language options and boasts of an impressive rating of 4.3 on the play store. The app has already crossed 100m + downloads and is probably the strongest Indian competitor for TikTok.

Another very important aspect that drives the movement to boycott Chinese apps is data security. While Tiktok uses HTTP servers to store data, Bolo Indya uses Http servers ensuring complete data security. Didn’t we say that we will provide the best Indian alternatives to Chinese apps?

Indian Web Browsing Apps

Now that all of us realize the importance of a fast but secure web browser. The browser should be fast and should provide multiple functionalities but if it is not secure it is of no good use. Popular Chinese app UC Browser is a major offender when it comes to the data security aspect, A common concern with most Chinese apps and the reason right many people want to boycott Chinese apps.

The immense popularity of UC Browser

UC Browser has become immensely popular in India owing to its fast speed and multiple functionalities. This year it surpassed Opera as the most downloaded web browser in India. While we can easily suggest Google Chrome or brave or opera as quick alternatives to the UC Browser the only drawback is that here we are discussing about Indian alternatives to Chinese apps and hence not talking about the already popular applications.

4. EPIC – Indian Web Browser – Alternative to UC Browser

Epic Indian Web Browser

Epic web browser is our best recommendation if you are looking for an Indian alternative to the Chinese UC Browser. A Bangalore based company called the Hidden Reflex is the brain behind this innovation. This app is based on the Mozilla platform and an inbuilt anti-virus protection makes it better than most browsers around. The inbuilt antivirus and antispyware have been powered by ESET.

The web browser offers customization according to the user’s preference. You can decide the backgrounds, and themes and also type in any of the 12 languages that the browser supports. The sidebar provided in the browser has a number of apps like Twitter, Facebook etc. So, you can directly launch these apps from the sidebar.

The makers claim to provide maximum privacy due to features such as one-click private data deletion, flash cookie deletion built-in and no storage of browsing history. Not to mention the fast downloads and browsing experience provided by the browser.

5. Yo Browser- Alternative to UC Browser

Indian Browser Yo Browser

Yo Browser is another light and fast Indian app that can be a strong competitor to the UC browser. The browser has been developed in Pune and boasts of fast browsing speed, complete data security, and ad blockers to name a few.  Users can also play videos directly in the browser and download them with a single tap. If you are running low on data, you can select no-image options and only read the text.

This browser also allows various modes according to user requirements. You can choose from the night mode or reader mode to change the display. It also provides parental control with the whitelist feature. Isn’t this surprising that we were mostly unaware of these Indian alternatives to Chinese apps?

Photo editing applications Like BeautyPlus and YouCam Perfect

Now this category is particularly a tough one to replace. Chinese apps have carved a place for themselves and have established a strong fan base in India. Boycott Chinese products are easier said than done. We will need a substantial investment as well as support to develop Indian alternatives to Chinese apps. Here we have tried to find the best Indian apps that can compete with these immensely popular Chinese apps.

Beauty Plus – Photo Editor and Selfie Camera app from China

If you have never used this app or heard about it, you are probably living under a rock. the beauty plus app has been one of the most loved Selfie and photo editing app for a very long time. Not just beauty plus, there are a plethora of Chinese apps that leaders in this category. Most of us cannot think of editing our photos without these wonderful apps. While these apps can be easily substituted by much better apps such as Snapseed and Adobe Lightroom, what makes these apps stand out is the plenty of frames, effects, and backgrounds that these apps have to offer.

It is not a very debatable topic that there are few Indian apps that can compete with these apps in these photo and video editing categories, however we still tried to find out a few.

6. Camera Plus – Alternative to Beauty Plus Chinese Application

Camera Plus App

It’s very normal to not know about Indian alternatives to Chinese apps particularly in the photo editing genre. We too had a tough time finding it, but it was all worth the effort. A Bangalore-based company Pixel Force Pvt Limited has developed an application that covers all the functionalities of their popular Chinese counterparts. Camera Plus allows you to edit photos to your liking while providing additional options like float photos. It also allows users to make themselves look taller or shorter to their liking.

All photo editing effects are similar to most apps we have used. Additionally, the same app provides a feature to create beautiful photo collages in different backgrounds.

One common issue with most Chinese apps is that they have different apps for different functionalities. However, our Indian alternatives provides a better range of features. This app can edit your photos, create collages, create floating photos, provide Bokeh effect, blend the photos, and easily change photo or picture backgrounds.
So, one does not have to install a collage maker, a You Cam, a Picsart etc. Just this one is enough.

7. Indian Selfie Camera – Alternative to YouCam Chinese App

Indian Selfie Camera app

Another Indian app that can be developed into a top-performing app is the Indian Selfie Camera. This app too does the job decently, however, we will not say that it performs better than other leaders in the market. Leaving some minor glitches apart, this one does a fairly decent job. Like other editors, Indian Selfie Camera is not very large in size but offers a huge number of effects. Pretty much everything you might want to try. The app is great for people who have hardware or data constraints. The User interface is also friendly. The app boasts 4.5 ratings on the Play store.

Just when you thought that it is almost impossible to boycott Chinese apps in photo and selfie categories, these options might help you change your opinion. Not just these, there are other Indian options available too. All you need is some time and a willingness to explore.

Data Sharing Apps Like Xender, ShareIt

Now this one’s a competitive niche and ShareIt has been an undisputed leader for a very long time. Not many of us knew that this was a Chinese app. The app was so popular that it came pre-installed on some devices as well. But we are pleasantly surprised to introduce Indian apps that can easily replace the immensely popular ShareIt without fear of data security.

8. Jio Switch – Alternative to ShareIt

Jio Switch App

JioSwitch is an app launched by Reliance Jio Digital Services Private Limited. Like ShareIt, this app can be used to transfer and share files, photos, videos, documents and more from one device to another. This application is available for Android as well as for iOS Users.
The best part about our Indian alternative to the Chinese app is that Jio Switch is ad-free. One of the most irritating parts about ShareIt. Also, upon testing, we found it to be fast. A perfect and better replacement for ShareIt.

9. SHAREall – Alternative to ShareIt

Shareall Indian App
Shareall Indian App

Another fast and Indigenous app that can replace the Chinese apps is Shareall. This application supports all platforms and transfers data at a lightning-fast speed. Developed by a Gurgaon-based company, Shareall is probably the only app that provides password protection for the security of data being shared. The app claims to 200 times faster than Bluetooth and can transfer files in any format. The app is small in size and also provides a backup of your installed applications.

Gaming Apps like PUBG Mobile, Clash of Kings

No, we still don’t agree that PUBG cannot be substituted. The game has garnered negative publicity ever since it was launched. This was among the first app to start the Boycott Chinese apps movement. Some Indian states even issue a ban on PUBG, but it still remains a highly popular game.

Finding an Indian alternative to a Chinese app in a category that is largely dominated by Chinese apps is a tough task. The recommendations below come close, but we don’t claim that they can easily replace PUBG.

10. Document Scanner – Alternative to Cam Scanner

Ever since the Indian government banned the Cam scanner, people frantically began searching for alternatives to Cam Scanner. While Adobe scan and Google Drive scanner are available, we would like to introduce an Indian alternative to Cam Scanner.

Yes, there is certainly scope of improvement, but it is very much appropriate to use be used as an alternative to a cam scanner.

11. Indian Air Force: A Cut Above – Alternative to PUBG Mobile

Did you know that the Indian Airforce has its very own official mobile game? The game was launched in 2019 with the objective to connect with the youth. The IAF wanted the youth of the country to experience the thrill of air combat. No, this is not the first game launched by the IAF, it’s the second. The first was Guardians of the Sky which was launched in 2014. Both the games have been developed by a Dwarka-based company Threye, that makes Army games.

Indian Air Force Gaming App


The game begins with the training mode, and after completion of training, the players are allocated various combat missions. These missions become tougher with each level. Apart from flying missions and gun battles, the game has rescue missions to be completed as well. The game does not require top-notch hardware and can work on basic smartphones as well. The default avatar is quite a famous IAF soldier, Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman. You can change the avatar with your own pic as well.
You also get to choose your combat vehicle like the Sukhoy or the Rafale amongst many others. This game was picked to be a part of the Best Games in the Users Choice Game category. Comparison and preferences may vary amongst users, but Indians should definitely try this game once.

Grand Battle Royal Pixel FPS

Grand Battle Royale is a game on similar lines as PUBG but in a pixel version. The advantage of this game is that it can run on the most basic smartphones and does not require a lot of hardware resources. The missions are interesting if you are ready to overlook the cartoon-like graphics.

Non-Chinese alternatives to PUBG can be plenty. Call of duty tops the list in our recommendations. The game is interesting, has good graphics and is the closest competitor (better for some) to PUBG Mobile. Other recommendations would be Garena Free Fire and Modern Combat Versus.

Clash Royale is a game on similar lines as Clash of Kings. The advantage of this game is that it can run on the most basic smartphones and does not require a lot of hardware resources. Tower-rush video game Clash Royale engages players in battles with two or four players (1v1 or 2v2) with the goal of destroying the most rival towers; destroying the “King’s Tower” results in an immediate victory. After three minutes, if both players/teams have the same number of crowns or none at all, the game goes into a two-minute overtime session, during which the person who topples an opponent’s tower instantly wins. In a tiebreaker, all towers rapidly lose health, and the tower with the least health is demolished if no towers are obliterated during overtime. There is a draw if the health of the two towers is equal. 

Players in Clash Royale are rated according to how many trophies they have. Players advance in levels by accumulating Experience (or King Level) points via upgrades and donations to their cards. Level 14 is the highest attainable level.

22. Triller –  Alternative to Vigo Live

B612 features more than 50 distinct filters in all. By just swiping your finger down the bottom of the screen, where you can get a tiny sample of how it will appear, you may select any of them. A random filter may also be applied by just gliding your finger over the image.

E-commerce applications: ClubFactory, Shein, and Romwe

Romwe, Shein and Club Factory are popular online shopping websites that are known for selling stuff at really low prices. These things include clothes, footwear, accessories, home decor, and other utility items. But did you know that these companies entered Indian markets and sold their products without even paying taxes to the Indian government?

Yes, when these websites used to ship their products as gift items and escaped the customs. It was only after their consignments ceased in Mumbai that these companies agreed to pay their taxes. In June 2019, Club factory in particular was just second to Myntra.com in terms of market share.

We bet you wont even know that these are Indian Brands! Here is a list of Indian Brands which are of High Quality!

Quality issues with Chinese products

The products listed on these websites have several, not one issue. First, one is the quality. While the products look pretty and attractive, the real product is generally not up to the mark. Additionally, these websites are not true to their sizes and one has to constantly engage in the process of reordering and returns. Now, that they have a significant number of users in India, the prices have also gone up. One can easily find a better product at a lower or same price in local shops or on Indian e-commerce websites.

Luring customers to buy unnecessary products

Another issue that needs to be addressed here is that since these websites are selling too many products at cheap prices, people tend to buy unnecessary things. These things are generally not needed, but people buy them because they were cheap. So, the consumer was tempted to shell out extra money for a useless product. If we calculate the total amount that was spent on impulsive buying over a span of time, we realize that it comes out to be a significant amount.

So, indirectly we wasted our hard-earned money on a product that was of low quality and was not needed. This money went to a country that is not too fond of us and is targeting our economy. Wouldn’t it have been better if we resisted that impulsive shopping and got ourselves a plate of chaat instead? At least a poor man could make his ends meet and you could enjoy your snack. It still had some value for both. Agree?

Indian E-commerce brands that are reliable

Now, this is surely one category where we do not have to explain the Indian alternatives available. Now you are already familiar with Amazon, Myntra, and Flipkart. So here we list top-quality Indian apps that surely outshine Chinese e-commerce applications.

These ones are Indian brands and care a lot about brand reputation. Hence, even if you find that the products are slightly more expensive than the Chinese ones, they are worth the money. At least you can use them to your heart’s content as they last better than Chinese products.
