We are sure you are a pro at typing with one hand, making slow motion videos and booking cabs, but you can do so much more with your smartphone than just having fun with the camera and booking a ride for a date. Here we have list six amazing and cool things that you didn’t know your smartphone could do. Take a look! 1. Never Lose Your Car Keys Again We know you possibly own a smartphone which is why you are here reading this article. Do you have a habit of always losing your car keys? Or you happen to forget where you kept it? Available for both iOS and Android platforms, Viper SmartKey can easily make the phone as your car key. With this amazing app, you and your family will never be locked out of the car on a hot sunny day. 2. Identify Songs Without Any App You might be a fan of Shazam because it helps you identify songs anytime anywhere. However, do you know the virtual assistant in your phone can do that as well? So, if you are out of space on your phone, you need not install an additional app to identify songs. The built-in virtual assistants like Bixby in Samsung Galaxy S8 are right there for you. Isn’t that amazing? 3. Never Worry About the Battery Again If you are always on a lookout for a charger to keep the battery of your phone at a decent percentage, you need to worry no more. The battery stats in Android’s Marshmallow allows you to get an accurate idea about the remaining percentage, how long will take to fully charge the phone and how much you have until your phone runs out of battery. With all the stats just a touch away, you will not have a problem keeping your phone alive for a longer time. Also, the battery save mode helps improve battery life by reducing your device’s performance. 4. Unlock Your Phone Automatically at Trusted Places Though keeping your phone locked can save you from data theft and a lot more, but when you are home, and you unlock your phone time and again, it can become quite annoying. Android helps you stay away from the pain of unlocking your phone with a passcode when you are at a trusted place like home. Go to Settings -> Security -> Smart Lock -> Trusted Places and input the places you trust. That’s it; you are done! 5. Keep Access to Your Phone All the Time If you are one of those forgetful ones and keep forgetting your phone home, take advantage of the guest login feature available in Android and access your messages and photos anytime anywhere from a friend’s phone. On the other hand, you can even add users to your phone so that you don’t have to share your information while other access it. Did you know about this? 6. Back Up as Many Photos as You Want No one likes deleting memories in the form of videos and photos. However, space crunch in your smartphone can make you remove a few even if you don’t want to. However, there’s a way you can back up as many photos as you want with Google's latest update to the Photos app. So, keep backing them up and freeing up space in your phone. With so many (and a lot more!) amazing features in your phone, you can do a lot more than just swiping right on Tinder or making a video with the Boomerang App. Pick up your phone now and start exploring hidden the features now!
