About 15 years ago, when the Internet was not very common (especially in the outback), we often transferred files to each other via Bluetooth from phone to phone. I remember how, as a teenager, I was seriously frightened when, while receiving a file, I found on my phone the inscription “Attention! Virus detected.” It turned out that this is how a friend called his device in the Bluetooth settings. Today, it is unlikely that anyone would be frightened by seeing this, but there is a more realistic way to play a friend: download a virus to your phone. Of course, not real.

To do this, we need to install a special prank application on a friend’s smartphone (I found 3 such programs at once).

Do this with his consent, asking, for example, to see photos from a recent trip. After installation, do not forget to give the program permission to display on top of other applications, as well as show pop-up windows. It will also be useful for you to learn how to remove the icons from the screen so that the draw is a success.

For the effect to work, the application needs to grant several permissions

Well, now to the point. An application with a fake virus displays a kind of mask on the smartphone screen in the form of a blue screen of death or a text warning. It cannot be hidden in the usual way (for example, by swiping right or left), but you can quickly remove it by simply shaking the device. funny? Then take a look at 3 applications that will help you download a virus to your Android phone.

• 1. Virus Maker Prank – download viruses for free
• 2. How to Prank a Friend with Virus PRANK
• 3. Fake Virus – virus application on the phone

1. Virus Maker Prank – download viruses for free.

This is the first app of its kind that I came across by looking at APKPure. It offers 4 draw options:

• Creation of dead pixel effect.
• Black screen of death.
• Blue screen of death.
• Red window full screen.

In the “Phone will be infected in” tab, you need to specify the period of time after which the virus will appear on the screen. In the “Countdown time” tab, the duration of the display is set. To start, press the “Run virus” button and watch your friend’s reaction.

2. How to Prank a Friend with Virus PRANK.

A very similar application for those who want to download a virus on Android. Unlike the previous program, Virus PRANK can be downloaded from Google Play. At the same time, its functionality is almost the same as the capabilities of Virus Maker Prank.

By clicking the “Fake Virus” button, you can choose a dialog box template from 4 options. The “Show after” tab sets the time after which the effect will appear on the screen, and in the “Hide after” item, you need to specify when the fake virus itself stops making itself felt.

It will not be possible to forcefully end the draw by shaking the smartphone. But when using Virus PRANK, you can pull down the notification shade and tap on the program’s alert to stop it from running. I note that the application has a serious drawback: an unprecedented amount of built-in advertising.

3. Fake Virus – virus application on the phone.

The following application is notable for its simplicity and minimalism. Yes, it is also not translated into English, but there are no complicated settings inside. Just specify in how many seconds to download the virus on Android, and click the “Start virus” button.

After that, a blue screen will appear on the screen with information that the virus is deleting files from the smartphone. To end the prank, you need to shake your phone or pull down the notification shade to launch Fake Virus through a pop-up alert. Unfortunately, the duration of the effect is only 30 seconds, but there is not a single advertising banner in the application.

Thank you for your attention!

The development of modern technologies affects all spheres of our life, including intercultural relations. For some 10-15 years it was even impossible to imagine that very soon it would be possible to read foreign websites without knowing a foreign language, correspond with native speakers of another language and instantly translate videos. All these are the achievements of technological progress, which can be appreciated by any owner of a smartphone on the Android operating system. I tell you what features translation apps now have, and how they simplify our lives.

Content:

• 1. How to translate websites into English
• 2. Video translation in Chrome Browser
• 3. Keyboard with translator
• 4. How to translate text from a photo into English
• 5. Translator from phone camera
• 6. Translation of the dialogue into English

1. How to translate websites into English.

I think many of you use this feature. If not, I highly recommend testing it. Almost all browsers on Android have a page translation option, and sometimes it is turned on by default. As soon as you open a foreign site, its content is instantly translated into English.

To activate the translation, you need to call the context menu of the browser and click the “Translate” button. This feature is available in most web browsers, including Google Chrome, Opera and Yandex Browser.

2. Translation of video in chrome browser.

Compared to other web browsers, Chrome’s functionality stands out. In addition to translating pages, he is ready to offer off-screen translation of videos from several languages:

• English.
• Spanish.
• Italian.
• Deutsch.
• French.

Moreover, the translation option also works in broadcasts. If you open a foreign video in Chrome Browser, you may notice a pop-up window with the text “Translate”. Click the button to watch the video in Russian, regardless of the original language.

3. Keyboard with translator.

There are enough browsers for today. Let’s talk about other applications that help us communicate comfortably with native speakers of other languages. Many keyboards, including Gboard and SwiftKey, have a built-in translator. Usually its button is located at the top of the input tool, but sometimes it is hidden in the advanced settings.

With this keyboard function, you can chat with a person from any country

The keyboard with translator automatically converts your text, allowing the interlocutor to immediately understand what you want to convey to him. This is much more convenient than copying words into a separate application each time. It would be even more convenient to use the auto-translate function in messengers, but so far it is not widely used, so you have to limit yourself to the capabilities of the keyboard.

4. How to translate text from a photo into English

Highly specialized translator applications also have cool functions. And among the best programs for translating into Russian, I would single out the following:

• Google translate.
• Microsoft translator.

Each of these applications can translate text from an image, for which the user needs to follow a few simple steps:

• 1. Open a photo in the gallery.
• 2. Press the “Share” button.
• 3. As an application, select any translator installed on the phone.

Next, a translator window with a picture will appear on the screen, where almost every word is written in English. If desired, the image can be enlarged to see it in detail. But, if your picture has a low resolution, it will be difficult to translate from a photo.

5. Translator from phone camera.

Also, Android translators can translate text in real time. That is, it is enough to point the smartphone camera at a foreign word, and you will immediately receive a translation. This can be done through both Google Translate and Microsoft Translator.

• 1. Launch the application.
• 2. Press the “Camera” or “Photo” button, depending on the selected program.
• 3. Point your camera at the text.
• 4. If the text shifts due to hand shaking, press the shutter button to translate from the photo.

Perhaps this feature is the most useful among all the features that modern translators offer. Just imagine: having a smartphone with a camera in your hands, you can walk around any foreign city, instantly translating all signs into English. Isn’t it a miracle?

6. Translation of the dialogue into English.

Finally, I’ll tell you about another extremely useful feature that is present in most translators for the phone. During the 2018 FIFA World Cup, millions of residents of our country for the first time got the experience of communication with foreign citizens. To understand each other, many used Google Translate, but at that time the dialogue function was not sufficiently developed in it, when the application automatically translates the speech of two people. Now she has appeared. And it is present in almost all translator applications.

In Google Translate it’s called – “Conversation”, in Microsoft Translator it’s called – “Split Translation”. Go to the desired section, put the smartphone in close proximity to yourself and the interlocutor, then start chatting, and the application will voice it in the desired language after each phrase.

One of the must-have apps for Android devices is Telegram, a secure and fast messaging program.

Simple, convenient, pleasant interface.
There are no restrictions.
Complete security.

There are minor drawbacks that are fixed with the update of the application.
Degree of usefulness: depends on lifestyle

WhatsApp is one of the most popular instant messengers in the world, a free application for communication, audio and video calls. It uses an Internet connection and allows you to send text and voice messages, images, videos, documents and other content.

The secret to the app’s success is its simplicity. Even an inexperienced user can figure out and set up WhatsApp, and using a mobile number as a login will eliminate the need to remember a password. The smartphone’s address book integrates with the WhatsApp contact list, so you won’t have any problems getting in touch with family and friends.

In addition, the program boasts useful features: there are group chats, saving messages for offline users, sharing contacts, sending geolocation and much more.

Advantages:

Convenient customizable interface.
Synchronization with the list of contacts.
No passwords.

Flaws:

Minor issues that are fixed by updates.
Degree of usefulness: depends on lifestyle

1. Flacbox: Hi-Res audio player

“Flac” in the name should not scare you – the utility recognizes different formats, even if it’s an antediluvian MP3. You can sync music from streaming service accounts or read music from iPhone storage. The application will not leave you without music even in the car, because it supports CarPlay and AirPlay.

You can even connect One Drive or Dropbox cloud storage, from where music is automatically synchronized! In addition, there is a sleep timer, shuffle, search and background mode. If you want to adjust the equalizer, please be kind enough to pay. The rest of the application can be used for free and troubles do not know.

2. jetAudio — HD music player

One of the most beautiful players for iPhone! It has a not very large font and only two colors – green and gray, so the interface does not hurt the eyes. The player has a concise full-screen playback page, so if there is a cover in the track, it will turn out very beautiful. Can you imagine how cool it will look on the iPad?

The application works with FLAC, OGG, MP3, WAV and other formats and is free to use. They say there are advertisements, but I never noticed them there. The equalizer, color schemes and other features can be unlocked with the purchase of the paid version, but the player works fine anyway: just transfer the tracks to the iPhone from the “Downloads” folder to the “jetAudio” folder and away we go!

3. Listen: Gesture Music Player

A player with one of the highest ratings in the App Store: either users do not favor them, or developers are lazy, but Listen: Gesture Music Player has a lot to learn. The convenience of the player is that it does not have the traditional navigation buttons, rewind and other gizmos that we are used to – the control is due to swipes in the right directions from the middle of the screen.

Yes, it’s a little strange, but you get used to it quickly: the main thing is not to skip the description when you first start the program. After memorizing the gestures, ordinary players seem to be some kind of wildness. The application is free, but, unfortunately, requires a subscription to Apple Music, from where the music is synchronized.

They will be useful for those who do not want to depend on the level of mobile signal and prices for streaming services.

1. AIMP

AIMP is a hugely popular player for Windows and its Android version is very good too. The program is made in the spirit of old-school players like the classic Winamp. It does not have a built-in library, and the user himself distributes his music to manually created playlists. And this is a rather convenient approach for those who do not want to bother with organizing tags, genres and covers in their collection, but are just going to throw a couple of dozen downloaded songs into the player.

The player supports an impressive number of audio formats. In addition, it allows you to listen to Internet radio, just like its older brother on Windows. The program has smart playlists, and you can easily create, for example, an automatic selection of songs for 2021 in the Rock genre. There’s also a sleep timer if you want to fall asleep to music, and a 20-band equalizer. The program is free and contains no ads.

2. Musicolet

Small but extremely powerful player. Its feature is the ability to create more than one playback queue, as in most applications, but several at once – up to 20.

This is a rather original solution that complements traditional playlists well. Let’s say you listen to music and at the same time leaf through your music library, find a cool track and realize that you want to turn it on. But not now, but in 10 minutes. To do this, simply throw it into a parallel queue and start it when you are in the mood. Musicolet also displays in the system shade the name of not only the current song, but also the name of two others that follow it in the queue.

The player is equipped with a built-in equalizer, allows you to customize the behavior of the headset button, can edit tags and supports lyrics in LRC format. Lock screen and widgets available. There are light and dark themes.

And what really attracts in the Musicolet interface is the layout of the controls. All buttons and tabs are placed at the bottom to make it convenient to operate the program with one hand. The app is free and does not have a premium version or in-app purchases.

3.Poweramp

Poweramp is the clear favorite among Android music players. The program can be used for 15 days free of charge.

Powerapm is a veteran of the Google Play apps and has been updated and developed for over 10 years. The player has literally everything that even the most sophisticated music lover needs. An advanced library lets you sort your large collection of music by categories such as artists, genres, albums, and ratings.

If you want to organize everything beautifully, Poweramp will help you with tags and even download covers. And if you don’t want to spend time raking your music library, displaying music by folders is also supported. The player can not only edit meta-information in your files, but also download lyrics.

Especially worth mentioning is the “Lock Screen” feature. Poweramp can replace your standard lockscreen, so you get an advanced music control interface as soon as you take your phone out of your pocket – no unlocking required. It is more convenient than the standard Android music widget, but does not work on some firmwares. Poweramp also has integration with Google Assistant, Chromecast and Android Auto.

The player equalizer is just a miracle with which you can get good sounding music from a variety of headphones. The program supports many types of files, including loseless formats. In general, if you really intend to store a large collection of music on your phone, Poweramp is definitely worth paying attention to.
