From the power of baking soda to secret keyboards, ironic driving hacks, to microwave capabilities, here are our favorite secret features that you probably don’t know about.
#1: Save For Later
There are so many secret hacks on our smartphones. To be honest, most of us aren’t using our phones to their full potential. Someone shared a really handy hack that lets you schedule a text message for a later time. We’ve all had moments when we wanted to send a message but knew it was not the right time. This hack solves that modern-day problem!
This person has an Android phone that lets them schedule a text by holding down the “send” icon. If you hold the “send” button down on a modern iPhone, you get a ton of options. Unfortunately, “send later” isn’t one of those options. IPhone users have to use the “Shortcuts” app. That seems like an awful lot of work for a shortcut. Android users have the upper hand with this secret feature.
