I just saw this post on twitter and my mind is blown. I had no idea any of these were a thing. Anyone have any others?

PS4 Features I Never Knew Existed

That trophy one is definitely a mind-blower. I've been looking up trophy lists online to figure out what the criteria I was missing was.
I found out the trophy one last year. it pissed me off so much. hours wasted trying to google hidden trophies.
Here's one that some of my friends weren't aware of - If you press the home and square buttons at the same time you can zoom in. It helps for reading smaller text sometimes.
This works on the dashboard and in game.

The trophy one is pretty well known afaik. It even gives you a prompt at the bottom of the screen when you check out a hidden trophy. I didn't know about the slower pulses though.
I had no idea about the trophy one either. I've just visited websites to see what the hidden trophies are if i needed that.

Well, I just skipped right over them because I didn't expect it to be there.
I admit, it's still weird I never even saw the prompt by accident when browsing through the trophies. :D
WHAT..... NO WAY? i would have needed this about 5000 times. thanks, i need to try this asap when i get home.
yeah i dont get it lol. its so obvious.
yo .. what the fuck lol, where are all these mindblowers coming from ..
I knew about revealing hidden trophies for ages and thought it was a commonly known feature. Surprised others are just finding out about it.
If I recall, you might need to enable a system setting to be able to use it. But yeah, it's pretty cool.
I only recently found out by accident that you can move around the PS4 menu with voice commands, without PS Eye camera.
The hidden trophy one's definitely not been there from the beginning, they patched that in IIRC. Double tappĂng the home button to go from game to media app is useful, as is holding the home button on a controller for 10 seconds to turn it off. Holding the power button for a bit longer until the next beep will turn the console off completely, instead of sending it to rest mode.
Surprised at how many people didn't know about the hidden trophy reveal. Seeing this all over Twitter, from a lot of Sony employees too.
I have used this one, but 10 seconds is way too long. It's faster to just turn off the controller through the menu. I have no idea why it can't be 5 seconds.
I've told you, I don't live in the Waldorf Astoria, I live with Statler and Waldorf. They are Muppets. We are very poor.
Someone else in the reddit thread had their mind blown about the double tap PS button to switch between the last two things you were doing lol.
I did not pay attention the flashing of my controller and didn't know you could auto search guides when you unlock a trophy. The zoom thing with the home and square button is new to me. There are a lot of tricks I didn't realize.

Yeah, this just taught me that you can search online from the trophy screen. Wild that I never knew that.
