7 Best Entertainment Apps to Make Your Phone Even More Fun
Your phone might be your go-to source of entertainment throughout the day, but how much of it comes from actual apps? If you’re like most people, not as much as you could be—or should be! Take your phone to the next level by checking out these seven best entertainment apps that will add an element of fun to your life and your device, all at once.
As much as you might hate it, there's no denying that Facebook has redefined our social culture and become a critical source of information and content. From posting pictures of your lunch to reading breaking news updates, Facebook makes sharing even more fun with its recently launched Messenger app. The service allows you to send texts, audio clips and more directly from your main Facebook account without having to launch a second app or type out a message. It's a great way for people who don't want yet another number next to their name on friends' phones.
There are two kinds of people in the world: Those who use WhatsApp, and those who should. The messaging app is only getting more useful as time goes on with new features such as voice messages, video calling, and emoticons. This means that it’s never been easier to make your friends laugh out loud (and cringe) with GIFs that you find online or by recording short video clips for them.
An Instagram account is like a public scrapbook. You can post pictures, videos and text updates about your life; you can like and comment on other people’s content, and you can connect with friends who share similar interests or goals. Most importantly, you can use it as a creative outlet by posting images that are funny, inspiring or otherwise representative of your personality.

Snapchat
Though it’s just been around since 2011, Snapchat has grown to be one of most-used entertainment apps. It allows you to send funny photos and videos that disappear forever, rather than having them cluttering up your phone. It’s also a great way for businesses and other organizations to share pictures or short clips with their audiences. The app is only available on iOS at present but an Android version is coming soon; there are plenty of similar apps out there in case you have an older phone or prefer not to use Snapchat. However, even if you don’t sign up, it's worth setting your phone up so you can receive snaps from people!
YouTube
Is there anything YouTube can’t do? With so many videos on YouTube, it makes sense that a lot of people would be able to find exactly what they’re looking for. While you can find videos of any genre imaginable (except maybe needlework or stamp collecting), YouTube has especially popular categories in movies, music, and comedy. You can learn just about anything with YouTube: whether you want to make a video game costume, learn how to build furniture from IKEA, create amazing fireworks displays using household materials, or discover how makeup gurus achieve their desired beauty looks. There are videos for both visual learners and auditory learners—you’ll never get bored on YouTube!
Netflix
If you’re not a fan of cable and want an entertainment app that allows you to stream movies and TV shows, Netflix is one of your best options. This streaming video service has several different plans available, starting at $8 per month for watching on one screen at a time in standard definition (SD) quality. If you prefer higher-quality video, multiple screens or want to be able to watch videos offline, then it may be worth paying for one of Netflix’s pricier options. The basic plan allows HD viewing on two screens simultaneously. The $10-per-month option adds Ultra HD 4K quality and turns off ads. A $12-per-month option allows simultaneous streaming on four screens in UHD quality while restricting access to commercials.
Pokemon Go
What’s not to love about Pokemon Go? This AR game from Niantic, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company is a phenomenon that’s literally changing how we view our cities. Not only does it turn going for a walk into an adventure, but it also encourages people to socialize with each other in public spaces. It’s a great way to meet new people, while getting some fresh air and exercise at the same time.
