5 incredible things your smartphone is capable of doing
5 incredible things you didn't know your smartphone was capable of doing
Here are 5 awesome things you can do right now with your smartphone.
1. Trash your pesky remote control
You've misplaced the remote, huh? That thing is as slippery as an eel in a barrel of okra — don't ask us how it got there.
The point is that you can use your phone as a remote control for devices such as your television, air conditioner, DVD player, and projector. Certain Android phones include a built-in remote control, which is typically located in the Tools or System folder on the home screen.
However, do not despair if you do not have that feature. From the Google Play Store, you can download a reputable third-party remote control app.
For our iPhone dudes and dudettes, the Apple TV remote is integrated into the control center of the latest iOS versions. Older versions allow you to manually add it.
2. Make Your Texts Visible From Space
Small texts are inconvenient. Squinting to read an SMS is inconvenient and detrimental to your vision. Fortunately, there is a workaround.
- From your smartphone's iOS or Android operating system, navigate to Settings.
- Select Accessibility.
- Select either Font Size or Display Size.
- Adjust the slider to the desired size.
3. Take pictures while breaking the Internet
Are you aware that you can take photographs while recording a video?
Isn't that mind-boggling? We frequently overlook things that are right in front of us. And in this case, it's a grey/white button adjacent to the standard red one. Or, if you're using an iPhone, at the top of your screen.
You should be aware that the image quality will be lower than that of your regular photographs.
4. Split your phone screen
No, we are not suggesting that you crack open your device with a rock.
It's a convenient feature on your smartphone that enables you to run two apps concurrently. It's an excellent multitasking tool that relieves you of the stress associated with constantly opening and closing apps.
Apple's iPad devices support multitasking. It's primarily a matter of dragging the second application from the toolbar onto the first, but Apple support includes additional detailed instructions here.
To enable this feature on an Android phone, however, follow these steps.
- On your phone, tap the Overview button (it's the square icon in the black bar at the bottom of the screen). This will display your recently used apps.
- Protracted press on anyone. It may display a menu containing the split-screen icon. However, if it does not,
- To the top or left of your screen, hold and drag the app.
- Select another application. It will appear beneath or beside it automatically.
Alternatively, you could use the Google Play Store to download a third-party app. Simple as that.
5. Go big and don’t go home
We are all familiar with that sensation. On your phone, you're streaming Wizkid's No Stress, but something's missing. You require a larger screen.
If you have a television or an external monitor, you can mirror a video, image, document, or even a game from your phone to a larger screen.
There are numerous ways to accomplish this on Android phones. You can use a USB cable, an HDMI adapter, or a Chromecast media device — the latter is compatible with Android and iOS.
We also offer wireless Internet access. Certain phones include a built-in feature called Cast or Wireless Display.
For example, iOS phones include an AirPlay feature that enables you to connect to a compatible television. Additionally, some Android devices include this option in their Display or Connection settings.
