Here are six hidden phone functions many may not know:
- Mute Incoming Calls
If an unexpected call comes in, “press the volume down button” to mute the ringtone without disconnecting the call. This works for alarms or notifications as well. - Turn Off the Flashlight
Instead of unlocking your phone to turn off the flashlight, press the volume down button twice. Keep in mind that “not all phones have this feature.” - Adjust Phone Volume
To quickly adjust your ringer volume, press the volume up or down button directly after unlocking the screen, saving time. 
- Camera Shortcut
You can use the volume button to take photos or record videos instead of tapping the screen. Just enable the option in your “camera app settings.” - Quick Screenshot
To capture your screen instantly, press and hold the power and volume down buttons simultaneously, skipping the control center.
These handy shortcuts can streamline everyday phone use.
