Chingari
This is one of the most popular alternatives to TikTok, introduced after the ban. In fact, the app was developed about 2 years ago but only became well-known after the Prime Minister announced the Atmanirbhar Bharat campaign after the Chinese app was blocked in India over security concerns. As of now, Chingari has been used by millions of users, available for download on the App Store and Google Play Store. It has topped the Indian social app list.
Ludo King
Before all the waves and campaigns against Chinese products, PUBG Mobile was the most popular mobile title in India. After the ban, gamers began searching for alternatives and Ludo King became more popular than ever. The game gained the most success during the COVID-19 lockdown as people wanted to have fun with their friends and family. You can get the app from the App Store or Google Play Store, depending on which operating system you’re using.
StepSetGo
The next name we want to introduce on the Indian app list made in India is a fitness application. It offers a range of health features such as tracking runs, steps, among other things. It has gained millions of users and become the most popular fitness app in the country. The app also encourages its users to join fitness challenges with their friends.
ShareChat and Moj
If you are looking for an Indian social app other than Chingari, this is a good option, which lets you share short videos. Over time, the app has also earned millions of users, partly thanks to its support for regional languages. The app is available for both iOS and Android users. It supports a number of regional languages including Telugu, Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Malayalam, Punjabi, Tamil, Bengali, Odia, Kannada, Rajasthani, Assamese, Urdu, and Haryanvi.
