7. Move Chrome’s Address Bar to the Bottom Reaching the top of the screen, especially with just one hand, can be quite a pain. Chrome’s address bar is placed at the upper-half of the screen, making it harder to reach on larger-sized phones. Thankfully, there’s a quick way to move Chrome’s address bar to the bottom for easier access. Type chrome://flags in Chrome’s address bar and hit Enter. Find Chrome Home and enable it. Tap Relaunch Chrome. Tap the Recent button to open up the multitasking screen. Swipe away Chrome to force close it. Re-open Chrome. |
6. Enable Instant Apps Instant Apps are a pretty innovative idea: you can check out Android apps without having to install them, thus saving time and data. It started out as an Android Oreo-exclusive feature, but Google started rolling it out to devices running Lollipop or later a couple of months ago. Instant Apps are disabled by default, but enabling them is just a flip away. Open Settings > Google. Enable Instant Apps. Tap Yes, I’m in to confirm. |
5. Enable Persistent Number Row in Gboard If your job involves dealing with numbers, it can be cumbersome to toggle your keyboard between the number and the alphabet mode. To do so, open Gboard. Hold the emoji/cog icon and tap on Gboard keyboard settings. Tap Preferences. Enable Number row.If you use Gboard, which I guess most of you do, you can enable a persistent number row at the top of your keyboard. It’s a great way to utilize the growing screen real estate on mobile devices. |
4. Disable Doze Mode for Specific Apps Introduced in Marshmallow, Doze is a nifty feature that helps you save battery on your Android device. The basic idea is that your apps “sleep” while your phone is off, preventing them from running amok in your absence. While this works great for most apps, you might get delayed notifications from your favorite messaging apps. Also, you might experience issues with VPN apps as they need to run constantly in the background. In such cases, Doze mode can do more harm than good. Fortunately, Android lets you disable Doze mode on a per-app basis. To do so, open Settings > Battery. Tap the three-dot overflow menu button. Select Doze and app hibernation. Tap the app you would like to exclude and select Don’t optimize. |
3. Enable Auto-Lock and Power Button Instant Lock By default, your Android phone’s screen turns off automatically after a set period of inactivity to save battery. But the lock screen only kicks-in a few seconds later. Mischievous people can potentially access your unlocked device if you leave it unattended during this period. It’s recommended to lower your screen timeout. To do so, head over to Settings > Display > Sleep. Select the lowest acceptable number of seconds after which your screen would turn off. Once you’ve lowered the screen timeout, it’s time to force the lock screen to kick in as soon as the screen is turned off. To do so, navigate to Settings > Security > Automatically lock. Select Immediately. On the same page, enable Power button instantly locks. |
2. Opt Out of Personalized Ads There’s a shocking number of things that Google knows about you. Its huge tracking system is the reason why you see such precisely tailored ads. For instance, if you search on your desktop about noise-canceling earphones, you might quickly start seeing ads for them around the web. If you’re paranoid about your privacy, there’s an easy way to turn it off. Open Settings. Navigate to Google > Ads. Enable Opt out of Ads Personalization. |
Disclaimer: Copied from Miui forum Android comes with a lot of features, but not all of them are enabled out of the box. With the ever-growing feature set, it’s easy to miss those deeply buried Android settings that can enhance your experience.Whether you are looking to fine-tune your privacy and security or boost performance, here are some changes you should make in the Android settings menu. 1. Hide Sensitive Content From Lock Screen Since Android 5.0 Lollipop, you can interact with the notifications directly from the lock screen. While this is convenient, it also means that anybody can go through your notifications — even when your phone is locked. Fortunately, there’s an option to hide sensitive notifications on the lock screen. First, you need to secure your Android phone with a password, pattern, or a PIN. Once you do, here’s how to hide sensitive notification content. Open Settings > Notifications. Tap the cog icon on the upper-right of the screen. Tap On the lock screen. Select Hide sensitive notification content. |
