There's a lot to like about Android, from its open nature to the wide range of devices that can run it, including your refrigerator, TV, and E Ink e-reader. It's a versatile OS, and with that versatility comes plenty of features that many may not know about. Did you know you can use your spacebar to move the cursor on the screen more accurately? And that's just one handy keyboard trick. Imagine how many other hidden features there may be. So, let's share and compare. What's your favorite hidden feature on Android?

      What I use a lot every single day is text selection in any app or image. I used to use Select in the multitasking menu but now I just long press on the bottom bar to do Circul to Search but select text I want to search or copy.

      Well, on my OneUI 4, there are tools inside Edge Panels for screenshoting more precise. You can even cut something off and pin it on the screen!
