10 Superb Things You Did Not Know Your Phone Could Do

9. Take multiple photos at once

When you’re taking photos of moving objects, such as kids, animals, cars, etc., you might find this feature to be useful. You can now take several photos at one go, to make sure you have a selection of photos to choose the best from.

iPhone (5 or later) instructions:

Enter the Camera app. Tap and hold the capture button on the screen, or press and HOLD the Volume Up button on the side of the phone. The phone will keep on taking multiple photos for as long as you hold the button. (iPhones can take up to 10 photos per second)

All the photos will be saved in Camera Roll. They will be grouped together automatically, so you can choose the best ones from the batch.

Android instructions:

Enter the Camera app and tap Settings. Turn on Burst Shot.Now, you can tap and HOLD the capture button on the screen or the volume button from the side of the phone, to take multiple photos at one go. The phone will keep on doing this for as long as you hold the button, or depending on the preset limit for yourphone, if there is one.

All the photos will be saved in the Gallery, often grouped together.

10. Turn off music automatically

Some of us use our phone’s music to accompany them while working on a task, or even in bed before going to sleep. The problem is, your phone’s battery is bound to be drained quickly while playing, especially if it ends up unnecessarily playing for the rest of the night if you fall asleep. Avoid this from happening by setting a timer for your music player.

iPhone instructions:

Enter the Clock app and tapTimer. Select When Timer Ends. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Stop Playing. Here, you can set the settings for your timer.

Android instructions:

Enter the music player and go to Settings. Tap Music Auto Off. Here you can set how long you want your music play for.

You may even download apps such as Sleep Timer to customize this.
