5 Hidden Features in Android You Probably Didn't Even Know Existed

Magnification Gestures

Akin to the one seen on the Google Maps, the magnification gestures on your smartphone allow you to triple to zoom in and out on the screen. It also allows you to pan and adjust the zoom level. To enable the magnification gestures on your smartphone head straight to Settings > Accessibility > Magnification gestures and turn it on.

Text-to-Speech output

Display Color Adjustment

Another feature hidden under the Accessibility settings of your smartphone is the ability to adjust the display colour to your liking. If, for some reason, you don't like the default display colour on your Android smartphone, just open the Settings > Accessibility settings and you'll be able to see colour inversion and colour correction options. Adjust them as you prefer.

Customisable Notification LED

Ever wondered if you can customise the notification LED to your requirement? Well, you can do that, at least most of the phone offer this feature, if not all. In some Android smartphones, it is hidden under the display settings while in a few, it is located under the customisation options.
