So you’ve just bought your fancy new smartphone and you cannot wait to upload that selfie that definitely didn’t take 50 attempts to get it right. But before you jump onto Instagram hoping that picture of you and your cat will break the internet (it probably won’t), maybe you should find out just how smart your phone actually is. And guess what? They’re called smartphones for a reason. Even if you only plan on using about four apps, you can actually do some really brilliant things with your phone and you don’t even need the latest model. So you can happily pick up an iPhone 5 or a Samsung Galaxy 4 from Talkmobile and still use all of these tips and tricks – lucky you. To keep you busy during your lunch break or on a dull journey home on the tube, here are 15 really great things you had no idea your phone could do. |

1. Block annoying numbers
Regret giving your number out to that
bloke you met in the pizza shop on Friday?
Wish everyone would stop telling you that
you have some PPI to claim? Well, luckily
for you, you can simply block them and
enjoy those lazy afternoons without
someone trying to sell you something.
If you’ve got an Android, it depends on
which phone you have. For the most part,
you can tap the number and press block. If
that fails, you can just download apps like
‘Truecaller‘ and ‘Mr. Number‘ and they’ll
sort you out nicely.
If you’ve got an iPhone, simply go on your
recent callers list, press the ‘I’ next to the
number and just press ‘block this caller’,
easy! |

2. Share apps, music and everything with
a tap of a phone
Too lazy to send someone’s contact
details via text? Want to share your
favourite song with your BFF? Well, it’s
easier than you could ever imagine. If
you’ve got an Android you can use the
Android Beam! All you have to do is set
the NFC (Near Field Communication)
under Settings > More
Settings (or Settings > Connections on
Samsung devices) and then turn
the Android Beam on. 1 Like

3. Charge your phone faster
You’re going out soon but your phone is
about to die and you really can’t be late,
so what do you do? Whether you have an
iPhone or an Android, simply turn Airplane
Mode on and plug that baby in! Your phone
charges almost twice as fast in Airplane
mode, meaning by the time you’re ready to
go out, it’ll be fully charged and you can
bombard your Twitter with loads of selfies! 7 Likes 2 Shares |

4. Make your screen darker
There is nothing more annoying than your
partner shining a bright phone screen in
your face while you’re trying to sleep. In
fact, a bright screen before bed actually
can ruin your night’s sleep. You’ve tried
turning the screen brightness down, but
it’s still too bright!
All you need to do is download the
‘ Twilight‘ app from the Google Play store
and you can not only stop annoying your
better half, but you’ll have a better night’s
sleep because of it!
Sorry iPhone users, your way is pretty long
but worth it… Go on your
iPhone’s General > Accessibility > Zoom,
and toggle Zoom on. Then press Full
Screen Zoom and drag the slider all the
way down and select the Low Light Filter.
Then go back to Accessibility and scroll
down to Accessibility Shortcut and
press Zoom. Now when you triple tap your
home button, your phone will switch from
your low light mode to normal brightness! 2 Likes
