How to customize the alert slider on the OnePlus 8

6 5 月, 2020 Hayato Huseman 0

One of OnePlus devices’ more unique traits is the alert slider resting above the power button. This slider lets you instantly switch between Silent, Vibration, and Ring sound profiles to change how your phone handles notifications without ever needing to look at your screen. It’s incredibly convenient, and OxygenOS gives you a few options to customize just how those sound profiles work.

How to customize the alert slider

The alert slider lets you change your sound profile on OnePlus devices quicker than on just about any other phone. While the iPhone has had a similar feature since its inception in the form of the ring/silent switch, that only lets you switch between two profiles, with no option to put your phone on a vibration-free silent mode. The OnePlus 8’s alert slider works great out of the box, but you can adjust some of its settings with just a few simple steps.

Open the Settings app.

It’s now easier to send photos with Google Messages

6 5 月, 2020 Michael Allison 0

Messages is acting more like an IM app than a traditional SMS one.

What you need to know

Google is testing a new “attach recent photos” button in chat.
However, it only pops up briefly after taking a photo.
The new button does serve to highlight the speedy and efficient media sharing of Google’s RCS-powred chat service.

Ever so often we get a reminder that Messages isn’t just an SMS app, it’s Google’s new instant messaging effort. Powered by RCS, Google hopes for this app could rival the likes of WhatsApp and iMessage, and it’s adding nifty little features to underscore that. First discovered by the folks over at Android Police, the Messages app in beta will now pop up an “attach recent picture button.”

Simply put, it’s a one-tap shortcut for sending the last photo captured. It doesn’t show up if you’re using MMS, but it does if you’re using RCS i.e chat. The reasoning is clear. Sending multi-media messages via Google’s chat is free and can work even over WiFi, while it’s proba…
