1. Change Volumes in Different Apps

This is the simplest of all Android hacks. It allows you to control the volume of apps on your phone. 

For example, if you want to play a game with your friends and you have turned down the volume of the music, simply touch the volume settings menu button and change the volume of that app.

2. Open Apps Side by Side

This is one of the best hacks that you can use. For example, if you are browsing the web and want to check your Twitter feed, you can use this hack to open multiple apps side by side. 

Just swipe up from the bottom of your screen to open the notification panel and then open multiple apps on your phone screen at once.

3. Lock Apps Inside A Secure Folder

This function is a good way to keep your private data safe. By creating a secure folder, you can lock a list of apps that contain sensitive information inside. 

So, you can easily browse the web without worrying about your sensitive data being hacked. The app shortcut can also be hidden, so no one else will find it easily.

4. One-Handed Mode

This is a very simple hack that can make your life easier. When you have your phone in one hand, you can turn on the one-handed mode to use the other hand to browse the web. 

This will save you from holding your phone with two hands, which is the default mode everyone else uses.

5. “Find My Device” Feature

This is another useful feature that Android provides. You can track your phone if it gets lost or stolen. You can find your phone by tracking the GPS to the last known location of your phone.
