6 Apps You Must Have as a Gen Z

6 Apps You Must Have as a Gen Z

If you were born between 1997 and 2012,
you can’t live your life under a rock.

You are a digital-era generation.

And there are these extraordinary apps making life easier, smarter, and faster.

You may not have these exact apps —
but at least one app that does the same job should be on your phone.

Let’s go.

1. Jumia (Or Any Online Marketplace)

We shop online — even when we’re not buying online.

Before buying anything, we:

• Check prices

• Compare quality

• Look at reviews

In Africa, Jumia makes this easy.

Even if you end up buying physically,
you still checked at least 3 online sellers first.

That’s Gen Z behavior.

2. A Podcast Player

YouTube is good — but it has a limitation.

When the screen is locked:

• You can’t listen

• You waste data

• You lose focus

At work.
While walking.
While commuting.

That’s where podcast apps come in.

Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and others.

When I tried podcasts, I was convinced on day one.

As a Gen Z, you can’t rely only on:

• Your uncle

• Your aunt

• Or outdated advice

You must learn from the world.

3. Binance (Or Any Crypto App)

I strongly believe every Gen Z should know:

• How to send crypto

• How to receive crypto

• How to convert crypto to local currency

You don’t need to be a trader.

But you need basic crypto literacy.

If you don’t know how, I made a very basic course for beginners here: 👉 https://www.udemy.com/course/binance-app/?referralCode=631D3D2E97257071F6BF

The future is digital money.
Whether we like it or not.

4. YouTube

Work has changed.

Gen Zs have:

• Multiple interests

• Creative energy

• Shiny-object syndrome

Elders say:

But look around.

We have:

• Doctors who sing

• Nurses who write

• Engineers who create content

• Professionals who build brands

The problem?

If you try to do everything at work:

• You become average

• Your boss won’t pay you more

So what’s the solution?

👉 Record what you love.
👉 Upload it online.

YouTube.
TikTok.
Facebook.

That’s how you find people who care about what you care about.

It’s not easy.
But that’s why you need YouTube.

5. ChatGPT

Do I really need to explain this?

This app allows you to walk with the wisest minds on earth.

Five years ago:

• You needed money

• Connections

• Time

Just to spend one hour with a wise person.

Now?

Gen Zs don’t need that.

They just need to ask better questions.

Example:

Instead of asking:

Ask:

That’s how you use AI.

Be specific to get specific answers.

And yes — you must learn AI.

You can’t avoid it.

What I want to master with AI:

• AI prompting

• AI image generation

• AI video generation

• AI video editing

• AI coding

• AI in crypto

In short: 👉 Using AI to learn, earn, and think faster

6. The Sixth App… You Tell Me

I’ll leave this one to you.

👉 Which app do you think every Gen Z must have?

Comment it.
Share it.
Send this to every Gen Z you know.

Let’s help each other upgrade.

I love you ❤️
