Google Play Protect apps

There are various Google apps that we use everyday but did you know that Google has more than 100 apps published on the Play Store and Apple App Store. Apart from the popular Google apps like Gmail, Maps, Search, Chrome etc., there are various cool apps from Google. So, here are 6 Google apps that I fell for and you probably don’t know about:

Google Authenticator

Google Authenticator is an app aimed to make your 2-step verification (2SV) on Google accounts even more secure and hassle-free. To start using the app, you will first have to set up 2SV on your Google account. After it’s set up, you will be able to use codes from the app instead of getting codes via text or email something that hackers may exploit.
