2. Communication
WhatsApp is the number one communication app used by drivers, hotels, tour operators, and, really, every Balinese! It is so widely used that you really don’t need a mobile phone plan on Bali, just a data SIM. Facebook Messenger is also popular, but WhatsApp seems be preferred.
3. Digital Safety
A simple app called a VPN protects your digital identity. It is critical to protect yourself when connecting to the internet on Bali & Lombok, whether through the cellular network (e.g., using a local sim) or using Wi-Fi (e.g., at your hotel, a cafe, or the airport). Read our detailed article on how to protect your digital identity to find out why a VPN is so important for Bali and Lombok.

5. Maps
We have a set of custom Google Maps we have made to guide you to the best beaches, waterfalls and so much more.
In addition, map apps are absolutely indispensable for finding your way but also keeping track of your family (check out location sharing on Google Maps).
6. Translation and Identification
Google Translate is helpful when you are scratching your head and wondering if you are about to order something weird, make the wrong turn, or just want to have a deeper conversation with a new friend. Google Lens is cool because you can photograph a plant or animal and get it identified, text and see an instant translation, photograph an item and find similar ones for sale and much more. We think it is an awesome travel tool!
