2. Turn Off the Flashlight

The flashlight function on your phone is very convenient and often used when you’re out at night or in low-light environments, like unlit streets or other situations. After using the flashlight, you typically need to unlock the screen and slide the control panel to turn it off.

To quickly turn off the flashlight on your phone without unlocking the screen, there’s a trick. Use the volume button. Simply press the volume down button twice to turn off the flashlight. Note that not all phones have this feature.

3. Adjust Phone Volume

When wanting to adjust the phone ringer volume or notifications, many people usually open the sound settings on their phone. However, to do this faster, you can unlock the screen and press the volume up or down button to adjust the ringer volume directly.

4. Camera Function

One popular feature of the volume up/down button on your phone is the camera function. When using the camera or recording video on your phone, you can start the recording process by using the volume up/down button instead of tapping the shutter button on the screen.
