Hey Arun, about number 7 (remember where your car is parked).. most people use google maps for navigation and instead of installing a whole different app just for your cars location you can just use the feature ‘save parking location’ while you’re next to your car before you leave and it will save that exact location in google maps. I learnt a lot about my device today, thankyou!

You guys did a great job. I have to also say, I recognize how much time this video must have taken to prepare and shoot. This is like 35 mini shorts videos, and I understand those minute videos can each take several hours to make. I also understand the exhaustive research you must have done to find these tricks many people like me will actually use. Thank you for the most helpful video I've watched this year :)

It is insane how much Arun’s content has improved. I’ve been watching you since 2018, and even then your content was probably some of the best tech content. But now, you’ve entered a league of your own.

[@TheFili6]

Well yeah but it's also insane how MUCH biased he is. I'm not supposed to care but the fact that he knows A LOT more about iOS features rather than Android, make this not really a believable source. But that's just my 2 cents

[@Random-ob7dc]

@@TheFili6 I've been watching this channel for months, and I dont seem to find him being very biased in any way. Also Arun has been using IOS for the past months, but he was an android user for YEARS in beforehand, IOS features are more relevant than android ones, because IOS features are high quality only and very rare, while android got hundreds of different features not available anywhere else, everything from a low quality "no one uses this" thing to super useful quality features.

[@brycechryson5686]

@@TheFili6 android products have more of an upfront features, they tell you what it is if they can. but ive dove really deep in apple features and settings and i barely saw the tip of the iceberg.

a little annendum to 7:00. android phones have a feature called nearby share built-in which is basically what airdrop is where you can share files, photos, contacts, etc, between two android devices

[@HiroiSekai]

For #7, I use Apple Maps. If you long press on your current spot after parking, it will drop a generic custom pin that you can rename and navigate back to later. Not sure if Google Maps does this too, but I'd be really surprised if it didn't in some way.

26th tip is used in aquascaping as well, it's based on the so called Gold Proportion (which is not exactly 2/3 but very close to it, i.e. 1.61).

[@CROWFACED]

I actually couldn’t find a way to make the tripple clik of the power button to switch color filter on my iphone. BUT, I discovered a "back tap" where you can map two commands (one by double tapping and another by tripple tapping the back of the phone (as in on the apple logo) to all sorts of different commands. Even the color filter change :)

[@falkbahl4675]

Nice Tricks! Love u Videos & that u wearing Lebrons 🔥

[@xastielmuffinz3047]

Found this channel a while back, subcribed, didnt regret it. love his positivity and laid back attitude. never change

[@timecubed]

Another really useful trick that I found: If you are using a phone with a bad camera or one that doesn't have great dynamic range (ex: Redmi 9A, the phone I have), you can instead of taking a regular photo, you can instead take a night mode photo which helps the dynamic range a lot. Unfortunately night mode photos on lower end phones take a while to capture and even longer to process, so if you're trying to capture something that lasts for like a few seconds or something then use normal photos, but for something that's going to last for at least like 5 seconds+ it's better to use a night mode shot because it will also help with quality

[@SydneyAndHerArt]

On number 28 you can just turn on voice control and the device will listen to a command you say and will do it. Also the voice control is is on accessibility section on setting

[@williamodavis]

Most android phones nowadays also have a feature called nearby share that is identical to airdropping, but it requires the receiving device to be open to receive something and both devices to have Bluetooth on. Chromebooks also have this feature

[@tbuk8350]

14:45 For this tip, just remember to store the backup codes the app gives you in a secure location where you can find them later. The last thing you want is for you to lose or break your phone, and then be locked out of all your accounts forever. I would recommend either keeping backup codes in a local, password-locked file on a computer somewhere, or in a notebook you have hidden in your house.

[@j.ballsdeep420]

Or a cloud based keeper type program with security like lastpass or safeincloud. You're 100% correct EOD, though
