Technology has blessed us with a do-it-all device called a smartphone. However, did you know that it can do more than just take calls and download apps?
Here are 5 fun things you can do with your smartphone.
Attend a Virtual Casino
The App Store or Play Store aren’t the only platforms where you can download games- you can play free slots online, for example, on a web browser and without needing to install anything.
Online casinos have grown to be more and more like their brick-and-mortar counterparts. Today, you can play cards with other people from all over the globe, and sometimes live and on video (if supported).
This means you can enjoy a casino experience in the comfort of your own home. It’s a welcome break from the stresses of life and a good way to relax.
Try Your Hand at Photography
Most modern smartphones will have decent cameras that can take pictures and record videos.
Operating the camera is easy- just open the camera app and you can start snapping photos of objects that interest you. Activate various filters and effects, then you can edit them later on in another app or using your default photo editing app.
As a side note, you can use your phone’s camera to record useful information and turn it into a note. For instance, a snapshot of where you parked your car can be useful later on when the lot gets filled up.
Chat or Video Conference with Friends and Family
Cellular technology lets you call anyone in the world, but in this time and age there’s something better- calling people and seeing them via video.
Apps such as Zoom make this happen, and all it takes is a stable and sufficient internet connection. You can also initiate video conferences using Google or Facebook, or look for popular apps on the Play Store or App Store.
Videoconferencing isn’t limited to 1-on-1, though. You can set up party meetings with friends or co-workers and see all of them on a single screen. This works best on a larger display such as a computer monitor or TV.
Watch Movies, TV Shows and Videos
The smartphone is truly versatile in that it can handle work and entertainment. You can create documents, answer emails and speak with people at a video conference, and at the end of the day it can act as an entertainment medium similar to a TV.
Netflix, Apple TV+ and YouTube are all popular destinations for those who want to watch videos, movies and shows. There are websites that offer niche content, such as Twitch for gaming and TikTok for short-form videos.
Track Your Health and Fitness
Smartphones are often paired with wearables, such as smart watches, weighing scales and sports equipment to see the metrics and track progress. These devices can also count your calories for you, serve as a diary for the food you eat and allow you to learn more on how you can keep healthy. Lastly, mobiles can be used to speak with a dietician or nutritionist, or a fitness instructor for advice.
