Our Android smartphones are packed with sensors that bring awesome features like navigation, automatic screen lock, playing racing games without using on-screen buttons, and more. Without these sensors, our smartphones will turn into dumb-phones. But like every other tool, these sensors can be turned against us. If someone hacks your smartphone, they will be able to log your keystroke, record your audio, and even turn on the camera. Thankfully, Android 10 brings a new feature that allows you to disable all these sensors with one tap. Read along to learn how to do it.
Times when you need absolute privacy, the ability to turn off all the sensors on your Android smartphone will come in handy. But it’s not a feature that everyone will need. And turning it on accidentally will cause normal users a lot of headaches. That’s why Google has hidden this feature in the Developer Options in Android Q. But once you know how to access it, it’s pretty easy to do so.
- Now, open the Quick Settings panel, and you will find the “Sensors Off” toggle. You can tap on it to enable it.
