Smartphones include pages of apps which are scrolled past without a wince of curiosity. All phones endorsed by google lead to many unwilling people needing to make a Gmail account just to download from the Play Store. However, it’s certainly helpful when you need a junk email for unwanted spam!
The ultimate smartphone crazes arise through apps such as Angry Birds and Temple Run, not to mention, Flappy Bird, which was actually taken off app store due to addiction and the developer receiving death threats from the public who did not approve of the game. In January 2014, it was the top free game downloaded from the iOS App Store. The sudden removal of this app resulted in phones being sold over the internet for high prices with the pre-installed app on them. I certainly won’t be uninstalling it any time soon!
Recently, the game has been uploaded here.
As a fresher not knowing my way around the massive city of Nottingham, Google maps is always on hand! The result of this is a split group with Android and the other Apple with the arrow pointing separate ways. Of course, Android tends to be able to find the place unlike Apple. #AndroidForver
In some cases, the main use of a phone is for the apps! The top apps are usually free and for social networking, such as Facebook, Skype, Snapchat and Instagram, which is exclusively used on smartphones. Things like these are great and allow users to easily add a photo, maybe a filter and upload automatically to show friends. Walking around with your life in your pocket can be pleasing to anyone who wants to share photos or information on the go.However, with free apps comes the risk of leaked information. Recent pages of Snapchat selfies are now found on the Internet, which are an invasion of privacy.
Many phones update their features hence we end up with Samsung Galaxy 1-5- they aren’t just getting bigger! However, the special features are there to enable experience, but are far too confusing to use. It looks silly enough when attempting to take a Snapchat selfie in public, but attempting smart scroll with crazy, jittering eyes and staring at a phone to unlock it will also look a little mad. With features like these turned on, they will simply drain the battery in the background whilst never being used.
Upon attempting to explain all these features to a senior, they are surprised something so small can do so much. Many elderly members of the public merely want to run fast as a phone and use it to check their emails, although, the assistive light feature is super helpful when trying to find someone or maybe even change a wheel in the dark.
So, hopefully this article has inspired some of you to check the special features on your phone and review the apps to help the ease of life. On hand, they can possibly enhance your lifestyle or be a bit of fun on the side.
