Hi guys,
How are you?
Welcome to MINI TECHNICIAN
I hope that you are all doing good. Introducing 8 blog 😄
In this blog, I will show you the underrated and hidden features of Android 13.
Some of them can be very useful.
1 Quick Shortcuts for Flashlight Actions:
Quick Tap is one of the best features of Android 12, allowing you to perform a variety of actions by tapping the back of your smartphone. However, this is not new in Android 13, but Google has added a new option. This is something most users have missed in the first place.
If you want to find a Quick Tap Feature in Android 13,go to Settings>System>Gestures and then tap Quick Tap To Start Actions, and then go to the bottom of list and tap Toggle Flashlight.
2 Scan QR Code From The Quick Settings Menu:
As you know that there are several ways to scan a QR or barcode on your android smartphone such as there are a lot of apps available in Play Store from which you can scan it and in new and most updated mobiles this feature is already install on your camera.
But in android 13 Google has introduced a Scan QR Code panel for the quick settings menu with only one tap.
To scan a QR code, Tap the Scan QR Code once and show your item in camera .It will detect it without opening camera or any app first.
3 Active Apps section in Quick Settings Panel:
Many advanced mobiles come with 16gb of ram. The more RAM you have, the grater amount of apps you can run in the background. This is great for multitasking, but what about apps that need to be running 24/7, like a smartwatch or VPN app? Well, Android 13 a introduced a new Active Apps button at the bottom of the Quick Settings menu.
Launch it by opening the quick settings menu and tapping the numbered button on the bottom left of the settings. This number represents the number of programs currently running on the system. The new running apps page that appears allows you to select apps to run in the background for 24 hours. Apps that you no longer want to run in the background can also be removed by pressing the Stop button.
4 Hold the Home Button To Use Digital Assistant Using Three-Button Navigation:
The gesture navigation that Google want to brought instantly in Android 10 was just a game changer. This feature made big screen smartphones easier to use. This gesture feature gets improved after every new update. Google still offers 3-button navigation for those who don't want to adopt it. If you use Google Assistant you will be amazed that Android 13 has introduced a new feature which will open you Google Assistant by long-press on the Home Button to open your assistant. Although this is a small but useful feature for those who use Google Assistant in their daily life.
To find this new feature, you need to go to Settings > System > Gestures > System Navigation. On the system navigation page. You need to tap on the 3 button navigation and tap on the Settings icon on the right. Then you need to enable the Keep Home option for the assistant.
5 Limit network bandwidth system-wide:
This feature was introduced primarily for Android developers and advanced users. This feature can also be useful in a variety of situations. Android 13 adds a new option to the hidden developer options to artificially throttle your network bandwidth speed. This feature hasn't been possible system-wide until now, and it'll be pretty interesting once you start thinking about it.
Let's say you have a 100Mbps connection. You limit the usage of your Android smartphone to a maximum. You can limit it to no more than 20Mbps to reduce data usage. You can do this for a month. It can also be useful if there are other devices using your network. You can prevent them from using all your data with this feature.
6 To change the display size and text setting from the same screen:
You may not have always used it, but Android 13 has some great display control options that you should be aware of. Prior to this feature, the display size and font size features were placed in separate sections. To change them, you have to move around.
After the Android 13 update, you can adjust font, display size, bold text and high contrast text from one page. No settings need to be made to change them. To find this new feature, go to Settings > Display > Screen & text size.
