A trick to capture the screen of the phone or tablet is to press the power button, at the same time press the volume down key. In the event that this method does not work, then we will press the power button plus the Start / home button, with this we will capture the screen.
Share without using bluetooth

Best of all, the application itself will determine the content to share.
Face unlock
An interesting option that we may not use frequently is facial unlocking, although it is not the safest method to protect our mobile, but it is a way to prevent someone other than us from using it. We recommend adding a PIN number in the event that the phone or tablet does not recognize our face, with this option we will have another method to unlock our mobile, in this case more secure.
Multitasking and data usage
One of the most useful options for many users is the multitask, but its disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of memory and battery of our device. An effective trick to avoid reducing autonomy is to close all the apps that are open in the background, before using multitasking on Android, and thus we will only use the apps that we open with this function.
A very important trick to save battery is to control the data usage of our smartphone, in the configuration menu > Data usage, we can see the data statistics that we consume, in addition to seeing the entire usage cycle. An interesting option is the function of being able to limit mobile data, especially if we have a contract with not many megabytes of traffic or if we regularly watch videos and movies on the tablet or phone.
