MARCO POLO
With this app that bills itself as a video walkie talkie, you can send instant video messages to your contacts. Rather than talking in real time, you take turns leaving videos for one another.
NETFLIX PARTY
Simultaneously stream a Netflix pick with friends and family from the comfort of your own home and discuss the movie together in the built-in chat function—a nice option for those people (and the people they’re with) who ask a million questions throughout the movie.
23 SNAPS
23 Snaps is a family focused app that keeps your precious photos and videos private, but still allows you to share with friends and family if you choose. You can also turn your photos into a photo book or print order.
BUNCH GROUP VIDEO CHAT & GAMES
Bunch lets you video chat with up to eight players while playing an array of multiplayer mobile games together including Mars Dash, Draw Party, Pool, Trivia and FlappyLives.
NEXTDOOR
Stay informed with what’s happening in your neighborhood. Find out what stores have hand sanitizer in stock, what grocery store has the largest lines, or just chat with the people around you—a handy app during these uncertain times.
