Today’s featured tech tip….
How to quickly adjust the volume on your phone
When you need to adjust the volume on your smartphone do you repeatedly press the phone’s volume button until you have the volume adjusted to the desired level?
If so, let me tell you about a much faster and easier way…
Simply press the volume button once, then drag the slider that pops up to the desired volume level with your finger.
It’s really that simple – one button press followed by a quick finger drag on the slider and your new volume level is selected.
Note: This tip works with both Androids and iPhones.
