What’s the One Android Feature You Can’t Live Without?

[richardschofield]

Hey everyone,


Android keeps adding new features with every update, but I was wondering—what’s the one feature you personally can’t live without?

For me, it’s [you can add yours here, e.g., split-screen multitasking, custom launchers, or battery saver]. I use it almost every day and honestly don’t know how I’d manage without it.

Curious to hear from the community—what’s that single Android feature you’d miss the most if it disappeared tomorrow?

For me, the ability to install apps from unknown sources is a must.

Tower Signal.

But same as Laura. Sideloading apps to fix dumb dumb OEM and Google issues from the FOSS community is what makes it tolerable and customized to my liking.

Using a custom launcher and Samsung Knox Secure Folder.

Find my phone.

I had to use it the other day due to my old age and it found it where I forgot to look

That's it! That's the feature.

I read the OP in the wee hours & could not decide what the one feature would be. Now coming back & reading your response, I have to agree. You nailed it.

If I couldn't load PDP to keep control over apps on my device, I'd be extremely unhappy.


Secure Folder is another important feature.

There really isn't any specific thing I can point to and say that's the one thing, unless being able to manage my finances could be considered one thing. Having credit card and banking apps where I can move money and pay bills while seeing my balances in real time.

Second to that would probably be tap to pay. Even though I don't use it exclusively it has saved me more than a few times when I've forgotten my wallet and need to make a purchase. So single feature would probably be tap to pay.
