II. Tap Data saving, then toggle Data saving on.
III. To make exceptions for certain apps, tap Unrestricted apps and toggle on any apps to exempt them.

It would be best if you were connected to a Wi-Fi network to share your password.

II. Tap the QR code or Share.

II. Tap Medical info, then tap Add.
III. Enter your information in the appropriate fields.

No one wants their phone invaded by scams and dodgy spam texts.

II. Tap Spam protection.
III. Toggle Enable spam protection to on.

In that case, you can avoid confusion around uppercase or lowercase and other sticking points by generating a QR code instead. All you need is one Android device already connected to the network; everyone else can scan it with their devices and connect immediately. It would be best if you were connected to a Wi-Fi network to share your password.
I. Open the Wi-Fi menu and tap the gear next to the network.
II. Tap the QR code or Share.
9. Set a data limit.
With streaming services, social networks and other apps constantly chipping away at our data allowances, it can be easy to surpass your limit. With this feature, not only can you save yourself some unwanted charges, but you can also cap your data in terms of both monthly and daily usage. If you set your cap below your plan’s limit, you can keep data for when needed or have a data binge at the end of the month!
I. Open Settings and tap Mobile network, then tap Data usage.
II. Tap the Data usage limit and choose a daily or monthly limit.
III. Enter your data allowance for each day/month and select whether you want a warning or for your phone to stop mobile data immediately.
10. Set Medical Information for first responders.
Hopefully, you never have to use it, but your phone can store your essential medical information for first responders to help you in a crisis. However, if you cannot help and have a passcode, touch or face ID set up, it can be tricky for them to access. Using the Medical info setting, anyone who finds you can see any vital information, such as blood type or allergies, that you must share via the emergency call page. This feature takes moments to set up but might save your life.
I. Open the Settings app and tap on Safety & Emergency.
II. Tap Medical info, then tap Add.
III. Enter your information in the appropriate fields.
11. Block Spam Texts
No one wants their phone invaded by scams and dodgy spam texts. Intrusive and just plain annoying at their best and dangerous and malicious at their worst, limiting the amount of spam you receive is effortless. There will never be a complete spam blocker, but this goes a long way to reducing it to just seconds of work. If you receive a potential spam message, remember never to click on a link or enter personal information.
I. Open the Messages app, tap the three dots icon, then tap Settings.
II. Tap Spam protection.
III. Toggle Enable spam protection to on.
12. Force peak refresh rate.
If you’re looking to get the most out of your phone’s display, perhaps for gaming or an extended YouTube session, you’ll want the video to be as smooth as possible. Forcing your phone's highest possible refresh rate may increase battery usage but will also produce the best results.
I. Open the settings app, then tap Developer settings.
II. Tap Force peak refresh rate
