In this competition world the most common competition in the mobile phone (smart Phone). Now the different variouses of mobile phone launched with different features. The common example android and Apple's phone.

There is still competition between iPhone and Android devices. But one thing is for sure, 

Android is more versatile and customizable than Apple's.


Try to delve into the details of the possible settings and modifications in your Android phone, and you will find many smart features and useful tools. We've rounded up ten for you here. But before we get started, a short note: these instructions are confirmed to work on the base version of Android 7.0 Nougat and should work on related platforms as well, but some of the menus and procedures might be slightly different.

 

Broadcast (display) Android screen (10 settings on Android phone)


By default, the Chromecast feature is available on the latest Android and later versions as well.

Several years ago, you could use Chromecast to cast your Android phone or tablet screen onto a larger TV screen. In addition to streaming movies and videos from TV apps. You can access this feature from the quick settings menu, which can be accessed by swiping down from the top of the screen with two fingers. You'll find the "Broadcast" option under this menu.


 
If there is no streaming option, you can set up screen sharing in another way. First, make sure you have the Google Home Android app and you might have set up your Chromecast with this app before. Open the app, select Screen/Audio Broadcasting from the menu, then select Chromecast until the phone screen appears on the big screen.

 

Run apps side by side (split the screen in half)


Do you want to view two apps at the same time? Android can do this.

A new feature that Android 7.0 Nougat brings is the ability to display two apps side by side or on top of each other. This feature is useful for viewing photos, working on the web, or multitasking, but the game speed may be slower.

To set up this feature, press the Overview button (the square icon at the bottom of the screen) and select a recently opened app to view. Then tap and hold the title of the desired app and drag it to the top or left of the screen. Then select another app to display next to or below the previous app.

Another note: Double click on the Overview button instead of once to switch directly between the last two open apps.

Better display of images and text (display size) (10 settings on Android phone)
Control the size of the objects displayed on the screen.

If you have poor visibility of what's on the screen, or want to stack most things on the screen, you can zoom in or out on the content on the screen. Not all apps respond to this feature, but most apps do.

To change the display size setting, go to the Android settings, select Display, and tap the font size to change it. Select Display Size to change the size of the displayed objects.

 

Change audio settings independently (Android audio)

Android allows you to change various audio settings.

Your device emits many types of sounds. Ringtones for calls, notifications, alerts, alarms and multimedia. Go to the Sound menu under Settings and select Volume to find three controls that can be used to adjust the different types of volume. Android also lets you do this in a nutshell. By pressing the physical volume button on the side of the phone, then a small popup will appear showing the changed volume. There is a small arrow next to this window, click it to show you the controls you saw earlier in the settings window.

 

Limit the phone to one application when loaned (screen installation)

You can limit and limit the screen to one application only.

What if you want to lend the phone to your friends or family without showing your personal information or social media account data? Screen pinning keeps your information confidential. An app being stuck on the screen means that the phone will remain active within the app only until you unlock the screen. At the same time, users will not be able to play or access any other content without knowing and unlocking the screen lock.

Screen pinning is easy to set up. Go to Settings and Security Menus, then enable the feature. Then start the app your friend wants to use. Then open the “Overview” screen and select the application from the recently opened application window, then you will find the “Install” icon (shaped like an installation pin) in the lower right corner. Click on it to install the application on the screen.

 

Disable the lock screen at home (smart lock) (10 settings in an Android phone)

Smart Lock allows you to choose how to lock your phone.


 
To protect your device, you need to enter a password or scan your fingerprint to unlock the phone. But accessing your application becomes annoying. But the Google Smart Lock feature can mitigate this obstacle, because it can directly access the applications, but of course you should ensure that the security for example is set to be available without a password at home.

From the Settings menu, tap Security Options, then select Smart Lock. In addition to disabling the lock screen at home, you can also disable the screen when the phone is connected to a trusted device (such as a car stereo) via Bluetooth.

 

Edit status bar (System Editing Interface) (10 settings on Android phone)

The system modification interface is a hidden menu in the Android system.

The status bar is at the top of the screen and, in addition to the other icons, also shows alerts, signal strength on the phone, and battery life. Through the System Modifier Interface menu, you can choose which icons will be displayed on the status bar and adjust other settings related to alerts and Do Not Disturb mode. The list is already available in the latest Android version, so it is not accessible on older devices.To activate the menu, swipe down from the top of the screen on with the two fingers touh on display for the Quick Settings panel. Then press and hold the gear-like button (top right) for a few seconds. If you see a confirmation message, it means that the settings interface is active. When you enter the settings menu, you will see the new option “System Edit Interface”, click on it and select the status bar to select the icons displayed on it, from the Bluetooth profile to the battery level.

 

Choose New Default App (Default App) (10 Settings in Android Phone)

The function of setting the default app on Android is another feature that distinguishes Android from iOS.

One of the differences between Android and iOS is that the Android operating system allows you to choose different default apps for browsing the web, messaging, viewing photos, etc. The default application is an application that opens automatically when you perform an operation on the phone, for example, clicking on a web link will open the default web browser application that is selected for example Google Chrome or Firefox.


 
This feature can be accessed by going to Settings, selecting Apps, and then clicking the cog icon in the upper right corner. Select any item displayed to display the app, then select the default item. For example, if you prefer the Facebook Messenger app over your primary messaging app, you can choose it as your default messaging app.

 

Replay missed notifications (alert history)

Android keeps a history of popup alerts, but the history is hard to find.

Did you delete one of the alerts by mistake before reading it? Do you suspect that the email came from someone? If you want to view all recent alerts, it can, but this option is hard to find, so please pay attention to the instructions.

Press and hold on any empty part of the home screen to bring up screen adjustment mode. Select the widgets, find the setting shortcut, drag this shortcut to the home screen, then a menu will appear for you to choose. Select Notification History, now you can view history and view missed alerts.

 


Activate one-handed working mode (one-handed working mode)

This mode allows you to easily use your phone with one hand.

With the increase in the size of modern phones, it becomes difficult to use it with one hand. For this, you can use the dedicated Google keyboard, which is the default option on some Android phones, and is a one-handed style of action that can be selected through simple shortcuts. If you have a Pixel or Nexus device, this keyboard is your default typing option. And if your device is from Samsung or LG, you must download the keyboard from Google and select it as the default typing option.

Open the keyboard as normal, then press and hold the Backslash button, then slide the icon to the right to activate the one-handed mode. The arrows allow the mini keyboard to move left and right, the bottom button allows it to change its position, and the top button restores the size of the entire keyboard. You may have other devices as one-handed mode, but this is not as simple as the Google version. Try searching the keyboard with one hand to find the device type to learn more.
