Use Offline Maps when there is no Internet

It's very useful to have offline maps app in your 📱 to be sure you'll not be lost in different situations. Here are the best offline maps.

✅ MAPS.ME is a real map app for pedestrians, with markings of paths and routes that are often ignored by "big brothers," in which most park areas look like one big green spot. There's no need for a permanent Internet connection - the map of your region is downloaded once at the first opportunity, and then you can use it whenever you want.

The free app that makes your Internet safer and faster

WARP is a free VPN for everyone. This application has become analogue to a VPN.

VPN hides the original IP address (where and who you are), WARP does not. But it encrypts traffic because it uses the Cloudflare DNS service. WARP is designed to protect information while transmitting data over the network. It protects against leaks on public networks, sniffers, tracking by ISPs or ad networks. Basically, WARP is basically a VPN.

Why are VPNs worse? They slow down devices, reduce traffic speeds, and kill the battery. WARP is not. Yes, it's not designed to access blocked resources, but it does the job! It speeds your internet up!

Things You Need to Do Before Deleting an App

Here are multiple steps making sure an app is fully disconnected from your 📱 and other accounts:

✅ Delete all your data on the app. You can usually find an option to delete stored data under menu titles like “privacy,” “account settings,” or “security".

✅ Log in to your account through a web browser, if possible. Sometimes you’ll find additional settings available through the desktop version of the app.

✅ Unlink or revoke any Facebook or Google integrations, finding the “linked accounts” option and removing the app or link. You can also remove integrations through the linked account instead. Just sign in to it, check your settings to see which apps they share data with, and then delete what you no longer use.

✅ If you can’t find any information about deleting your data on an app, contact the app’s customer service team and request in writing that your data be completely deleted.
