10 Awesome Android Features

• Screenshot

This hidden android feature is mostly used by people that's why it comes first. It works on almost all android devices, now to do this you'll have to hold the power button and volume down button at the same time.


Command = power button + volume down button

• Scheduled message

You can schedule your messages to be sent later without you remembering to send them to recipients. There is a more descriptive write-up on how to schedule message on your android here. Though this cool android phone feature might not be found on some phones but you can download a schedule message application from playstore.

• Airplane/silent mode

Have you ever had the moment when you'll have to quickly remove the battery of your android device or unlock your ultra pattern locked device to silence your device because your probably in a meeting ? Now those embarrassing days are over. This feature lets you set your phone to airplane or silent mode with just two taps. You can do this by holding your power button for 2 seconds and tapping on the airplane or silent icon.


Command = power button (hold for 2 seconds) tap on airplane or silent icon.

• Data limit

You can set a data limit so that you wont go over your monthly allotment. Perhaps you purchased 5gb and you want to be alerted when you have used up to 4gb. You can access the data limit function under settings - data usage.

Note: if your mobile data is not on you won't see the data limit option.


Command = go to settings - data usage - data limit.

• Call screening

For less aggressive calls on your phone you can create and send quick messages. To create a message you will have to go to call settings to edit or create quick messages. Now the way this android feature works is, when your phone rings and you don't want to pick the call you can simply just swipe your thumb up on the screen to let your caller know that you are busy instead of you ignoring or hanging up the call.



Command = swipe thumb up when you have an incoming call.

These are my top 5 android features, trust me when i say there are cool you just have to try and see for yourself.
