5 hidden features of Android Smartphones that will blow your mind!
Many people choose Android smartphones because they are budget-friendly and packed with features.
So, explore five powerful features that can elevate your smartphone experience and transform you into a power user.
Share Wi-Fi Passwords
Android users can share their Wi-Fi passwords without revealing them. Most Android smartphones now allow you to share passwords via a QR code.
Others can simply scan this code to join the network. To do this, go to Settings, find Wi-Fi, click on the current network, and select the QR code option. Note that the steps may vary slightly by device.
Use Two WhatsApp Accounts
Instead of carrying two smartphones, you can use two accounts on the same device. Most Android smartphones (except Google Pixel devices) support an app cloning feature, allowing you to use two WhatsApp accounts simultaneously.
Charge Other Devices
Many Android smartphones can charge other devices, such as smartphones and gadgets, through reverse charging. You will need a USB-C to USB-C cable for this.
If your smartphone supports wireless charging, it may also support reverse wireless charging, making it convenient to charge devices like earbuds and smartwatches.
Translate Text Quickly
Google has made text translation easy on Android smartphones. Simply select the text you want to translate and choose the translate option from the pop-up menu.
This feature works on third-party apps and websites, too. If you have a picture with text you want to translate, swipe down from the right side of the screen to access the menu and select the screen translation feature.
Unlock Developer Options
Many powerful features are hidden in the Developer Options menu. You can unlock it by tapping the build number seven times.
From this menu, you can customize settings like extended wake, Bluetooth connection limits, and OEM unlocking for installing custom ROMs. Keep in mind that unlocking the bootloader may cause some apps, especially banking apps, to stop functioning properly.
