Customize Quick Settings: Swipe down from the top of your screen to access quick settings. On most smartphones, you can edit and rearrange these toggles to fit your needs, making frequently used features more accessible.

Smart Text Selection: Long press on text to access contextual options like look up, translate, or share directly, saving you time switching apps.

Use Voice Commands: Both Siri and Google Assistant can help with hands-free tasks, from sending messages to setting reminders or playing music. Try using voice shortcuts to simplify your routine.

Hidden Gestures: Explore gestures like swiping with three fingers to take screenshots or drawing letters on the screen to open specific apps. These vary by device but can be found in your phone’s accessibility or gestures settings.
