you have the G board keyboard open no more long pressing is moving to
the symbols page to type numbers.
Also if you are annoyed by the autocorrection in G board. Just head to
the G board settings page and here go to text correction and just
disable auto-correction. This will make sure that G board won’t correct
you but you’ll see the suggestion strip so you can correct yourself
manually.
2.Get Chrome

address bar in Chrome when using the phone with one hand. Yes, it’s
disastrous however there is a way to get the address bar in Chrome to
the bottom and attain some peace here’s how to do it.
In the address bar of Chrome Type this “chrome://flags” which will take
you to the chrome flags page here tap on the three-dot menu button and

enabled once done upon relaunch now. that is it you should now see the
address bar in chrome at the bottom.

4.Instant Apps
Last year when Google announced Android nougat.
It introduced a sleek new feature in-depth instant apps which would be
apps that won’t be installed on your phone instead you’d be able to
access these apps by the browser.
Try them and see if they are good enough to be installed seems handy
right well after months of wait instant apps are finally available
however you’ll have to enable them on your Android smartphone.
Just go to google settings you’ll find the instant apps option and
simply enable it that’s it now let’s try an instant app just search for
the app you want to try for instance.
I am searching for the wish you can see the instant mark in its search result you can just tap on the link of the app and it will open up as any regular app it works just like any app work without digging up storage in your phone sadly not many app developers have updated their apps to support instant apps so you won’t find a lot of instant apps try right now
5.Speed Up Animations to
See Improved Performance
Android features various animations and transitions when you’re
switching between different pages apps and they sure look fancy but at
times the two seem to be slowing things down a bit.
Well, you can speed up animations to speed things up in your device
first we’ll have to enable developer options for this just go to about
phone app on the build number seven times to enable it.
Now go to the developer options in the settings page and scroll down
till you find the animation scale options here you can speed up the
window animation transitions and the animated duration scale.
I can set it to 0.5 X and you can see there’s a difference already
everything just feels so fast you can even turn off notifications here
to really speed up things but recommend you to choose 0.5 X for the
perfect balance. If you’d like to see those fancy animations even better
you can slow down the animations here
6.Power Button to
To Launch Camera
There are situations that demand you to take out your phone quickly and
capture a photo now these situations can be tough. But there is an
option in Android that can make things a lot more easier. I’m talking

the power button. To enable it just go to settings and search for press
power button choice for a camera and you should find the option now
enable it and that’s it.
You just double press the lock button even when your phone is logged to activate the camera no more getting laid and capturing those perfect candidates.
7.Get Rid of New
App shortcuts
I install a lot of apps and if you do.You must have noticed that added
automatically create shortcuts of the newly installed apps on the home
screen. I’m not sure why shortcuts are created for every app out there.
If I want to see all my installed apps I would go to the app drawer
right anyways this really messes up the home screen. Thankfully you can
disable it you can just go to the Play Store settings in the Play Store
obviously.
Here just untick the option that says add the icon to the home screen
for new apps and that’s it you shouldn’t see any shortcuts for new apps
that you installed what a relief.

security.
Go to Google settings here scroll down and goto the security option and
app on Google Play now just enable the improve harmful app detection

unverified apps from third-party sources and this option will give pay
