Most of us use our smartphones daily, but did you know that your device likely has features you haven’t discovered yet? These hidden gems can save time, improve productivity, and make your life a little easier. Here are five features you should explore:

Forget downloading separate apps for scanning documents. Both iOS and Android devices have built-in scanning features. On iPhones, use the Notes app to scan documents with your camera. Android users can find this feature in Google Drive. It’s perfect for quickly digitizing receipts, contracts, or notes.

Struggling to type with one hand? Activate the one-handed keyboard mode. On iPhones, hold the emoji or globe icon and select the one-handed keyboard. For Android, head to your keyboard settings to enable it. This feature is a lifesaver during multitasking.

Ever wish you could identify who’s calling without looking at your phone? Customize vibration patterns for specific contacts. On iPhones, go to the contact’s details, tap “Edit,” and choose “Vibration.” Android users can do this through the contact app settings. It’s handy for distinguishing important calls in meetings or noisy environments.

Need to hand your phone to someone but want to limit their access to a single app? Use screen pinning. On Android, enable it in the Security settings. On iPhones, use Guided Access in Accessibility settings. This is especially useful for letting kids use your phone or showing someone a single app without them exploring your device.

Most people think voice assistants require an internet connection, but newer devices can process certain commands offline. For example, you can activate airplane mode, turn on the flashlight, or play music from your library without connecting to Wi-Fi. This is useful in areas with poor network coverage.

Did you know the blue light from your phone affects your sleep? Enabling Night Mode or a similar feature adjusts the display to warmer tones, reducing strain on your eyes and helping you sleep better. You’ll find this setting in the Display menu of your phone.

Smartphones are powerful tools, but most users only scratch the surface of their capabilities. By exploring these hidden features, you can unlock your phone’s full potential. Take a few minutes to dive into your device’s settings—you might be surprised at what you find!
