Okay, try this experiment—stand in a group of ten people and ask them if they’re absolutely hooked to their smartphones. If our maths is correct, at least nine of the ten subjects will raise their hands in unison. Such is the craze of this electronic gadget that everyone who uses it is instantly hooked. But the question is, are you using it correctly?
Despite using them day and night, most people are actually not privy to all of the features of their mobile phones. Every time they hear about a new app or want to make a particular change in the settings menu, they must Google the details first before making an informed decision. If you too belong to that category, there’s no need to worry.
Today we'll guide you on how to make the most of your smartphone.
1. A Portable TV
With channels launching their own apps for mobile devices, you no longer have to stick to your TV screens all day long for your favorite program to air. Now you can enjoy your favorite tea time comedy or get a daily dose of news on your smartphone whenever you feel like it.
2. Taking Pictures
Who needs an expensive camera when you can take high-definition photos by simply whipping out your smartphone from your pocket and unlocking it. All you have to do is find the right spot and put on a smile, and you're good to go.
3. Gain Some Knowledge
If you’re forever in the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom, classrooms, seminars, and libraries aren't the only options available to you. Browsing the web for expert medical advice or details about a historic event is a much better way of going about it because you no longer have to schlep to a library, doctor’s clinic or private school to do so.
4. Always Know Your Path
Got lost? Don't worry! Take out your phone and open the navigation app to get yourself back on track in no time.
5. Know the weather beforehand
With this hassle-free technology already present smartphones, you don't have to wait for hours to watch the weather report on TV screens. Instead, you can simply open a weather app on your smartphone to get up to speed with the current and future forecast anywhere and at any time.
6. Light up Dark Spaces
Forget heavy torches and bright lights, using your phone’s flashlight to lighten up dark spots might be a better idea since your device is on your person at all times anyway.
7. Connect with Friends and Family
Not everyone has their near and dear ones living so close that they can actually drop by and meet them whenever they’re in the mood for some family time. In those instances, what better way to connect with them than through Skype, Google Duo, or any other video calling app?
8. Listen to Music
To listen to your favorite tunes, you don't need to rely on your laptop or go through your collection of vinul records to find the perfect music for the occasion. Just take out your smartphone and download Spotify or iTunes, or simply lick on a music video on YouTube to get your funk on.
9. Watch videos
To enjoy video content that ranges from comedy videos to educational clips, all you need to do is download YouTube on your mobile device. For an even more personalized experienced, sign up for a free account to find video content that matches your personal preferences.
10. Play games
If your favorite pastime is playing video games, do it on your smartphone instead of hooking up your PlayStation to a TV set. If you have your favorite video game on a mobile device, you can now access it without waiting hours to go back home and turn on your gaming console.
