Your smartphone is more powerful than you think. Beyond the apps and basic settings you use every day, it hides a treasure trove of features that can save time, improve productivity, and even keep you safer. Here are some hidden gems that most people overlook — but once you know them, you might never go back.
1. Built-in Document Scanner
Forget downloading third-party apps. On iPhones, open the Notes app, start a new note, and tap the camera icon to scan documents. On Android, Google Drive has a built-in scan feature that works just as well.
2. Measure Objects with Your Camera
iOS’s Measure app and many Android phones’ AR tools let you measure distances and object sizes using your phone’s camera — perfect when you don’t have a tape measure handy.
3. Screen Pinning for Privacy
Need to lend your phone to someone but don’t want them snooping? On Android, turn on Screen Pinning (Settings > Security), and on iOS, use Guided Access to lock the screen to one app.
4. Wi-Fi Password Sharing
On iPhones, just bring two devices close together and a pop-up will offer to share your Wi-Fi password. On Android, many phones let you generate a QR code for quick sharing.
5. Custom Vibration Alerts
Assign unique vibration patterns to certain contacts so you know who’s calling without even looking at your phone.
Your phone isn’t just a communication device — it’s a mini supercomputer packed with smart features. The more you explore, the more ways you’ll find to make it work harder for you. Start with these hidden tools and discover what else your device can do.
