I actually kind of admire Google's restraint with the Pixel camera app. It would be very easy for them to just stack all the features in a long horizontal list at the bottom, but for the most part they've only brought really essential ones out of the "more" tab. Lens is hidden in there, which is why I suppose a lot of people don't know about it, but I'm kind of glad it's not there, clogging up the main camera menu with something I only use sparingly.
Google Translate on my "off-brand" phone has a cute camera feature that's useful at the grocery store or at the neat little immigrant markets around town
android's notification log is great. sometimes you miss a notification, it gets dismissed, or by the time you click on it the person already deleted it and it's gone...but notification log saves everything
long press home screen, click widgets, drop the Settings shortcut widget on the home screen, and when you do this it should bring up a menu where you can select Notification Log (which is weird because you can't even find Notification Log in Settings but w/e)
Are you talking about going into manual instead of auto to take a photo? If you go to the top right ellipsis and switch over to manual it brings up a level and a bunch of other tools.
Interesting. I was taking a picture of something in a museum. Maybe it interpreted it or the frame or it as a horizon line?
I don't know if the stock Android camera has that...what do you mean by manual?
Wait what?!
You can just slide your thumb over the spacebar to move between characters. It has been available in Gboard for years.
No matter how hard I try, I can't swipe faster than I can type. I've tried. And now that iOS has it built-in I've tried more. But typing is just faster for me. But it's nice to have the option now.
You don't even know. I don't know how they do it. Everyone I see, especially iPhone users, have sooooo many apps. Pages upon pages of apps. And a lot of them don't use most of the apps and maybe installed them once to use once and never again but are too lazy to delete them or organize them. I can't stand it! I have only apps I need and I have them all organized into three locations. My main home screen, a folder for media and utilities and a folder for commerce apps. All on one screen. If iOS didn't have the Widget screen to the left I'd only have one page on my home screen. And if iOS had 4x4 folders again my folders would have even less pages. (One of my folders would be one page. Come on Apple! Give us 4x4 again!!!)
Oh god yes. This is my favorite thing. It even works with untraditional code input screens like ones with separate boxes for each number. Plus the code shows up on the keyboard before the text message even arrives. I love it. It's the best.
This is something iOS needs badly. At least a Guest mode that switches to a fresh non-customizable version with just the stock apps, no iCloud syncing and it forgets everything when you switch back. Like macOS has.
I use the "shake for flashlight" alllllll the damn time on my G5+. I'm about to finally upgrade to another budget phone and I think I'm going to stick with Moto, solely because of this feature. It's so dang useful.
Open your camera app and go to the top right corner. Click the ellipsis and it should bring down options like (simple, auto and manual). Simple is just a preset mode. No messing with settings. Auto allows you to mess with some settings, but it pretty much handles everything for you. Manual allows you to mess with everything.
This, I love it as well.
I recently went from an iPhone 11 to a Moto G7 Power and I love shaking it to turn on the flashlight. Use it everyday 😎
It increases the max or minimum brightness of your phone. So when I have my brightness turned down all the way, using this feature, my phone screen is dimmer than without it.
iPhone: This is less a feature, then a hack, but you can make your phone dimmer than it's lowest brightness setting, because even the lowest setting is too bright for me in the night (including dark mode).
There's an easy way to make your iPhone screen even dimmer than its lowest brightness setting, and it's perfect for reading at night

I use it all the time for non navigation stuff:
If anyone on iPhone also doesn't know how to do this, hold the torch icon in the control panel.You can change the torch intensity on Samsung phones. Just tap on the "torch" text in quicksettings and choose the intensity.
