Hi lovelies,

There are many things your smartphone can do and many ways in which they can help us in our day to day lives. But these features are often not very well known about. We’re going to talk about some of the useful things you can do with your smartphone that might just change the way in which you live life from day to day. So keep reading to find out more about all this.

Stay Safe with Location Tracking
Staying safe is what we all want to do, and if you’re a parent you’re probably even more concerned about the safety of your kids when they’re out and about without you. Well, now you can download an app or have your kids download it that tracks location and lets friends and relatives know where you are and where you’re going in case you find yourself in a dangerous situation.

Control Your Home’s Lights
Smart technology is making all kinds of great things possible in the home. And one of the things that’s not possible is controlling the lights in your home from your smartphone. Yes, that means you no longer have to get out of bed to turn the lights off when you want to sleep. Instead, your smartphone makes that possible as long as you’re using the right bulbs.

Dealing with Hearing Impairments
Anyone who’s suffered any kind of hearing loss or hearing impairment knows how difficult and challenging it can be. But now the technology behind hearing devices is improving and can integrate with our smartphones and other tech when using compatible hearing aids. It makes a real difference when listening to music or watching a movie or TV show on your device.

Lock and Unlock Your Car
You no longer have to get your car keys out to lock or unlock your car because your smartphone can do that for you too. Many car manufacturers now make this possible via an app that can be downloaded onto your phone. As long as your car is up to date enough to handle this kind of technology, you’ll be able to control the locks of your car with your smartphone from now on. It’s incredibly impressive and convenient.

Measuring Distance and Levelling
If you’ve ever needed to measure a space in your home for a new piece of furniture or appliance but then realized you don’t own a tape measure, well, you’re in luck. Using the camera on your smartphone, it’s now possible to use apps that accurately measure the distance between one object or point and another. You’ll never need to rifle through your drawers searching for a tape measure every again.
