10 Superb Things You Did Not Know Your Phone Could Do

7. Camera LED flash for notifications

Instead of using vibrate, your smartphone gives you the option to set the camera’s LED light to flash every time a notification comes in.This way, in silent places you can be notified of your phone calls,messages and app notifications efficiently without a sound.

iPhone instructions:

Enter Settings, then tap General, followed by Accessibility. Turn on LED Flash for Alerts.

Android instructions:

Enter Settings, then tap Accessibility. Turn on Flash notification.

8. More comfortable way of taking pictures

With now larger devices and touch screens, taking pictures can sometimes be a bit difficult if you’re using the shutter button on the screen, especially when you’re using the rear camera of the phone. Instead of tapping on the screen to capture the picture, iPhones and Android phones both have a much more comfortable way of doing this.

iPhone instructions:

When you’ve opened the Camera app, press the Volume Up button to take a picture. This applies for both rear and front camera capturing.

Android instructions:

Many Android phones come with the option of using the Volume buttons at the side of the device to capture a photo while on the Camera application. This applies both for rear and front camera capturing.

Alternatively, open the Camera app and tap Settings. Scroll down to Voice Control and turn it on. You will now be able to take photos on saying the commands “Capture”, “Shoot”, “Smile” and “Cheese”.
