You’ve been using your phone for a long time, but you might not know these things yet

There are 6 hidden functions many people don’t know about.

1. Mute Incoming Calls

When you’re busy working, attending a meeting, or discussing with clients,

you might forget to mute your phone or get an unexpected call. In such situations,

many people might feel startled when the phone rings. To quickly silence your phone

without disconnecting the call, you can firmly press the volume down button.

This will mute the ringtone but keep the call active. You can then check the call based on the specific situation.

You can also press the volume down button similarly when you receive

an alarm or other notification sounds. After pressing this button, the sound will stop, and it won’t disturb your activities.

2. Turn Off the Flashlight

The flashlight function on your phone is very convenient and often

used when you’re out at night or in low-light environments, like unlit streets

or other situations. After using the flashlight, you typically need to unlock the screen and slide the control panel to turn it off.

There’s a trick to quickly turn off the flashlight on your phone

without unlocking the screen by using the volume button. Simply press

the volume down button twice to turn off the flashlight. Note that not all phones have this feature.

3. Adjust Phone Volume

To adjust the phone ringer volume or notifications, many people usually

open the sound settings on their phone. However, to do this faster, you

can unlock the screen and press the volume up or down button to adjust the ringer volume directly.

4. Camera Function

One of the popular features of the volume up/down button on your phone is the camera function.

When using the camera or recording video on your phone, you can start the recording

process by using the volume up/down button instead of tapping the shutter button on the screen.

Note that to use this feature, you may need to go to the camera app settings to enable the option to take photos using the volume up/down button.

5. Quick Screenshot

When using your phone, if you want to take a screenshot immediately, just press and hold the power button and the volume down button simultaneously. The screen will be captured quickly without needing to access the control center.

6. Flip Book Pages

When reading e-books on your phone, the volume up/down button can also help you flip the book pages automatically. You don’t need to tap the screen to turn pages. Note that the feature to flip pages using the volume up/down button may vary depending on your reading app and phone model.

MY DAUGHTER SWITCHED SEATS MID-FLIGHT—AND I FOUND OUT WHY TOO LATE It was supposed to be a quiet flight. Just me and my daughter, Reyna, heading to Phoenix to see my sister. I’d packed snacks, downloaded a few cartoons on the iPad, and even brought her unicorn plushie that she won’t sleep without. We boarded early, settled into our seats—me by the window, Reyna in the middle. I had just started zoning out, watching the tarmac, when I realized she was no longer beside me. I turned my head and there she was, squished in next to a man across the aisle, looking up at him like she knew him. “Reyna,” I said, trying to keep my voice calm. “Come back over here, baby.” She turned to me with the most serious face I’ve ever seen on a four-year-old and said, “No, I wanna sit with Grandpa.” I laughed awkwardly. “Sweetie, that’s not Grandpa.” The man looked just as confused as I was. “I’m sorry,” he said, glancing between us. “I’ve never met her before.” But Reyna didn’t budge. She grabbed the man’s arm with both hands and leaned in like she was guarding him. “She knows me,” she insisted. “You’re Grandpa Mike.” My stomach dropped. Not because I recognized the guy—he was a stranger to me—but because of the name. Mike. That’s my dad’s name. The dad who left when I was seven. The one Reyna’s never met. The one I never talk about. I tried to laugh it off again, but something about the way Reyna kept staring at him made my chest tighten. The man looked just as shaken as I felt. Then he said something I didn’t expect.⬇️ Continue reading in the first comment 👇
