Airplane mode

Screen Recorder

You may wonder exactly when do you need this feature? You may have a hunch that it’s not used much.

Hold on! A Quora user has wonderfully listed the specific use of the screen recording feature here.

Second Space

If you had a kid in your home, there would be many times you’d have given your mobile to your kid to play games.

At times, someone may ask for your phone for a few minutes to call someone.

In all of these, your mobile phone can be misused by others.

Like the one this kid did to his parents.

See, the power of Adidas -“Nothing is impossible”😂.

This boy will remind you of this.

Papa kehte hain bada naam karega, beta hamara aisa kaam karega. Magar yeh to koi na jaane, ki meri manzil hai kahan.

Just wonder what Dad would be doing then 😁.

All kids or everyone is not the same. But, it’s better to be preemptive.

How?

Create a second space. It’s like creating a new user in your PC.

Customise your second space like the way you want.

Also, secure your first space with a password so that no one can enter there.

So, whenever you give your phone to your kid or someone else, just switch your phone to the second space. That’s it. You’re protected.

Now, Make yourself smarter using these features. Good luck 😉.
