What features do you use on your phone? Which ones do you ignore?

[SkyKnight03]

Phones are often packed full of widgets. Here is a photo of mine for example:

Auto Rotate is a mess. I've found my experience with it way too wonky on every phone I've ever owned. (Enabled and highlighted it for the sake of the photo).

Bluetooth is awesome but it's a real battery eater. So is the flashlight.

What features does your phone have that help in your life?

I use about 10% of features on my phone and ignore the other 90%.

I can understand this too

It was only recently I began using these features for practical purposes.

Phones are compact (flashlights, calendars, notepads, etc). It's amazing how much utility we can carry in our pockets now.

There's probably a bunch of features I don't remember or know are there because I don't use them.
As for useful things in my life, I keep checking the weather app as well as the time. I also have to check what day it is because they all blend together in my mind.

I barely use any features. I try to keep everything as simple as possible!

 

[Wildtown]

I don't think I've ever used the "do not disturb"

There’s a lot of features that I ignore. But one big one is Siri.

I'm going to slightly retract a comment.

I like Bluetooth, but I don't like how modern phones are phasing out the headphone slot.

I'd like to keep the option between Bluetooth and wired.

I just got this smartphone 2 years ago now, after being forced to ditch my old cell phone. There's a good percentage of this phone I don't touch. lol

Spoiler: features

I use these features mostly, for my iPhone 12. WiFi is always on if I’m in a zone. Otherwise, it’s on cellular data.

I sometimes use Screen mirroring, screen recording, and Focus mode but that’s about it. I’ve tried creating a custom iOS theme multiple times but it never looks good so I give up and delete it XD

The only things I use are screenshot, aeroplane mode (for school and Mass), and eye comfort (on occasion). To be honest, I don't use most features on my phone and I have a lot of things turned off because they're pointless and use up battery so quickly. Most of the time I even have mobile data turned off

 

[Corrie]

Screenshots, maps, night mode, flashlight, bluetooth for headphones, and rotate mode sometimes. I definitely don't use every feature lol. I actually turn off a lot of stuff because I don't use them and it eats up battery.

 

[RoxiePico]

I often ignore Bluetooth unless I'm connecting to a speaker since I use wired headphones, but always have adaptive brightness and eye comfort on at all times.

I mostly just use my phone for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and any other short-form content I can get my hands on! It's how I stay politically informed and involved in what's going on around the world.
