People are finding all ways to keep themselves busy and entertained as they stay indoors to contain the novel coronavirus. All eyes are expectedly on digital screens, but there’s
certainly more to do than kicking back and watching Netflix.
Apple acknowledges that being kept at home likely means you’ll have more time to pick up a hobby or skill. Stress levels are also at an all-time high, and users will need to calm their nerves during this unpredictable period.
The company has thus curated a selection of apps to not only make this downtime productive, but also holistic and educational, while offering avenues for you to get in touch with your loved ones.
Preview some noteworthy apps from the App Store, and check out more via
Apple’s full collection.
