Hidden features are the best kind of features. They’re almost like Easter eggs that developers leave for people to happen upon, rather than clearly outlining them in documentation. You feel special when you accidentally discover one yourself and get to show it off to your friends. And hidden features can sometimes be really well hidden; we’ve previously done polls on certain Android features and found that almost 20% of people didn’t even know about split screen. The list of hidden features in Android goes on and on, and even for us — the software nerds — we keep finding new ones every day. So it should come as no surprise that Android’s volume buttons have some tricks up their sleeve.
It might be obvious, but it’s worth mentioning: Not all of these features will be available for your Android device and/or flavor. Downloading a third-party app can, in some cases, unlock even more usability from the volume buttons.
