Summary:
8) Handy GPS: Not all of the phone tips are about convenience, some are also about safety and easy navigation. The Hudway app allows you to project your phone’s screen onto your windshield, giving you access to your driving speed and a GPS enabled map. Hudway is an intuitive app which also displays live views of a driver's route and alerts drivers of upcoming obstacles, traffic jams, or accidents. The app is easy to use and has a great interface.

7) Manage texts through email: Has your phone ever died while you are waiting for an important message? Then this particular tip will be particularly useful to you. You can sync your phone to your computer or tablet using apps like MightyText. They allow you to manage your SMS and MMS from your email. All of your messages that are linked to your phone number will appear on your phone screen.

6) Apps that help you make tough decisions: Having a hard time making the right decision? This app will definitely help you. It’s called Decision Crafting and it’s pretty simple: name your options, set characteristics, and let the app suggest the best choice for you. This Android app is designed to help users make easy, objective decisions. If you've ever had to make a decision and felt overwhelmed by the process, this app helps you by comparing your options and choosing the ones which are most beneficial to you.

5) Safety: If you’ve ever had to walk home late at night and felt unsafe, then this next one on our list of smartphone hacks is perfect for you. The app, called BSafe, will send an SOS message to your emergency contacts, record audio and video, track your GPS location, and set a timer that will automatically send an alarm to your friends unless you turn it off in time. As an additional bonus, it will also send you a fake call to save you from a bad date. This personal safety app allows users to create a "social safety network". It alerts individuals with notifications in the event that you are in an emergency or you feel unsafe.

4) Measuring Tape: Measuring tapes are one of those household items that are always lying around when you don’t need them and absent when you do need them. The app SizeUp is able to help you with this challenge as it’s able to measure just about anything through your phone’s camera.

3) Checking the battery power of your remote control: If you’re unsure whether your remote control batteries are out of power, just pull out your smartphone and launch the camera app. Next, point your remote control at your camera and press any button. If you see a red or pinkish light beaming out of the tip of your remote when you look at it through your phone’s display, it means the infrared signal is working perfectly and the problem is the batteries.

So instead of running around your house looking for batteries the next time you think your remote control batteries are dead, pull out your smartphone and try out this handy dandy hack!

2) Voice commands: Here is another one of our smartphone hacks – you can use your phone without touching it! You can do this by using the voice command tool on your smartphone. Voice commands allow you to perform this awesome trick and they are perfect for when your hands are busy or if your hands are dirty and you don’t want to touch your phone.

1) Screen mirroring: Screen mirroring apps are next and there are tons to choose from. Whether you’re using them to share a video from your phone or show off some vacation pictures, apps like Chrome Remote Desktop will definitely save the day.
