1. See your notifications after clearing them
One of the most useful hidden features in Android can only be accessed via a widget on the home screen. The option will let you see old notifications you’ve dismissed in haste.Long-press on a blank part of the home screen, choose Widgets, and then find the one called Settings shortcut (under the Settings heading). You then get to choose which setting to link to, so pick Notification log. Beside you can download latest apps with apk files from apk websites.
The amount of info you get in each one varies from app to app (you don’t get a full record of each notification), but you can at least see which apps have displayed alerts recently, in case you cleared them without taking a proper look.
2. Clean up the taskbar
With Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Google introduced a secret System UI tuner menu in the stock OS that may or may not have made it into the custom user interface installed on your phone by the manufacturer.Tap Status bar on the System UI menu and you can actually change which icons appear at the top of the display. If you don’t like having alarm clock or Bluetooth symbols showing, you can get rid of them, or you can add an icon that shows the screen’s auto-rotate status.
It’s even possible to hide the time from view, or have it show hours, minutes and seconds.
3. Enable night mode
For two successive OS releases, Google has teased a night mode for Android in the beta code, only to pull it from the final release. In Android 7.0 Nougat night mode is still there, but a little bit of manual hacking is required to bring it out.The app is just a single button. Press it to see night mode in Settings and Quick Settings.
