What are some cool but underrated Android Features on Android that most people don’t know about? those little things that make life easier but don’t get talked about much. I feel like there’s so much hidden stuff in Android that we miss out on.

    Some Android versions let you map the flashlight to the volume buttons and you can toggle it by pressing both at the same time. The option can be found in the system settings. If your OS does not have the setting, you can map the keys with an app like Torchie. It’s probably the feature I use the most on my phone, I couldn’t live without it at this point.

      FlashDim on F-Droid can do this as well, if you look for an open source option (don’t know Torchie, maybe it’s OSS as well, then I at least brought up another option)

        Thanks for the suggestion, Torchie is also on F-Droid :)

          Yeah, stupidly checked after posting…

          Although it shows up to be compiled for an earlier Android version and might not be compatible

          Well, at least an option more… ;⁠-⁠)
