5 Clever Things Your Phone Can Do – And You Didn't Even Know!

ByDilip Singh

Many of us use smartphones without appreciating how smart our phones really are. You’ve probably explored your phone’s default apps, but did you know it could do so many clever things to make life easier?

 

Here’s out list of 5 surprisingly clever things your phone can do:

 

  • Get you an instant cash loan.

 

Your phone needs a good personal loan app to deliver you an instant cash loan in minutes. Sounds too easy? It is. Download a reputed loan app and apply for a personal loan. The app lets you upload documents on the phone, too. Once approved for the loan, you receive the money in your account in minutes.

 

  • Keep yourself safe when alone.

 

Each of us needs to protect ourselves when we’re alone, especially when we’re travelling in another city, getting home by cab late at night, or walking down a dark alley. With Google Personal Safety AI , you can share your real time location with your listed emergency contacts, get notifications about natural disasters and emergencies near you, reach emergency services if you’re in an accident, and let first responders access your medical information to get you essential treatment immediately.

 

  • Find your keys – or treasure.

How terrific would it be if each of us had a Niffler from the Harry Potter stories, to find metal objects for us. But you probably didn’t know you have a Niffler in your smartphone, in the form of the Metal Detector app. The app uses your phone’s magnetic sensor and measures magnetic fields around it from 25 to 65 µT. Readings higher than these show metal in the vicinity, which means it can find keys, coins and other metal objects up to 15 cm away from the phone.

  • Find your parked car.

 

You parked your car in the mall’s parking lot and thought you remembered where it was. Turns out, you’ve walked past the potential spot thrice and still haven’t found it. Instead of raising an alarm, let the Find My Parked Car app for both Android and iPhone find your car. The app needs a few simple clicks before it shows a map and the exact spot where your car is parked. You only need to store the vehicle’s location in the app while parking.

 

  • Check up on your heart.

 

If you were thinking of buying an expensive heart rate monitor, perish the thought and download the recently launched Heart Rate Monitor app on the Play Store. It records your pulse rate, spikes in blood pressure, resting and elevated heart rate, etc. Just place your finger on the phone’s camera, point the phone to a light source and be still for at least five seconds while the app records your heart’s vitals.

 

Conclusion

 

Your smartphone can make daily life much easier by saving time and effort with a variety of wonderful apps.
