What apps do you all use to stay connected?

[Samvel3062]

I am currently based in a long distance relationship. I 31M live in the US, and my girlfriend 28F lives in Armenia. We met on Tinder back in Feb 2024, and have been in a relationship ever since. I have gone back to visit her twice, and am planning another visit soon. She can't come yet because of the long line for tourist visas at the Armenian US embassy. Things have gotten a bit stagnant and feels like some of the spark is diminishing because we are not physically next to each other. Does anyone have advice on how to keep the spark alive while being so far apart? Are there apps that you all use to keep connected? Apps to watch shows synced together? Maybe play games online together? How do you buy each other gifts?

Staying connected in a long-distance relationship can be challenging, but there are some great apps to help bridge the distance. Consider using Netflix Party (now Teleparty) to watch shows or movies together; it syncs video playback and adds group chat. For gaming, try online games like Among Us or the Jackbox Party Pack. Apps like Marco Polo or WhatsApp are great for exchanging video messages and staying in touch daily. For gift-giving, websites like Amazon or Etsy offer international shipping, making it easier to surprise each other with thoughtful presents. Communication and creativity are key to keeping the spark alive!
