Become an Android expert with these tricks

Today we bring you another one of those interesting posts with tricks for your Android smartphone. Surely, by now you know many secrets and useful tips for your device... However, it never hurts to learn a few more.

That's why, in this post, we want to show you three tips to help you become—or at least look like—an expert, a master... a sensei! of your Android smartphone. Let's take a look at them:

• Sync your smartphone with your PC : If you want your phone and computer to be linked and thus control your phone from your computer or laptop , you'll need to pair both devices. How? There are several apps designed for this purpose; one of them is Airdroid , which is completely free. Once downloaded to your phone and paired with your computer, it will allow you to manage calls, messages, contacts, etc., from your PC, without having to use your phone. What do you think? Turn your PC into your Android smartphone!

• Use voice commands : As you well know, your device is capable of recognizing voice commands ... So: use them! The microphone isn't just for recording and sending voice notes... You can do so much more! For example, activate Google Now on your smartphone and turn it into your personal assistant. Tell it what you need, and it will "listen" to you, even when the screen is locked. Just a simple "Ok Google" is all it takes for the app to listen to what you want to ask... and show it to you.

• Get the most out of Google Now : As we explained in the previous point, Google Now is a personal assistant that, although it is not as popular as Siri, or Cortana, allows us to do many things : from sending a message or a WhatsApp message to someone, to showing you directions, taking a photo, reminding you of an appointment, translating a text, or calling a contact. And all of this, just with voice commands. Download Google Now on your smartphone and let it help you in your daily life.
