2. Review notifications you swiped away
Its kind of frustrating when you mistakenly wipe important notifications. Yeah, I know it happens quite often and later comes the realization that you have missed something important. It may have been something from an app which you don’t know, in such case will you waste your time opening every app to recheck notifications? Well, we have a solution for this kind of scenario.
Simply long press and hold on your home screen to show up the screen-adjusting mode. Now, tap on widgets and look for the Settings shortcut widget which should look like a basic settings gear. Next, drag it to somewhere on your home screen which will be followed by a popup list allowing you to choose from essential shortcuts like accessibility, app info, battery, devices, battery, memory, etc. Just search for the option named “notification log” and select it.

3. Forcefully control the orientation
In certain phones, the manufacturers give the charging port and headphone jack on the bottom frame which halts the user experience when using the phone when plugged in or listening music using wired earphones while lying flat on the bed. This is where the Adaptive Rotation Lock app comes to rescue.
It is a very lightweight and ad-free app which lets you manually set the orientation of content being displayed on your screen. You can switch between Reverse Portrait (upside down), Force Landscape, Reverse Landscape and Force Auto options from notification toggle, giving you the freedom to use your device normally even if you are holding it upside down.
It is also helpful for certain apps and especially home-screen which don’t support the default rotation system natively.
