Now let's discuss about what are the 10 amazing tips and tricks for Mi A1.
1- Stabilize Videos : You might have noticed that Mi A1 is lacks any kind of video stabilization like OIS or EIS, when we shoot some videos we get a lot of shakiness which makes our videos terrifying, so to stabilize your videos, just shoot the video, open the Google photos app, select that video and you will find a settings icon down below, just tap on that and it will display you a button named stabilize, just click on stabilize and it will process for some times ( depends on your video length), After that you would have to save that clip, and you will find great stability on your videos after following the above step, now let me tell you one thing that this device feature is not Limited or not exclusive for Xiaomi Mi A1 deviced you can use this feature on any kind of smartphone which supports Google photos app, so this is a Google photos app feature.2- Remove Data Access For Any App: I found this feature really helpful, there are many Apps whom do not need any Internet connectivity, but they do connect to Internet and shows some Rubbish ads on our devices, so kill the Internet connectivity for those kind of apps you can disable data for those apps, head over to settings then click on Data uses, Click on the three dots at top right side, and you will find an option called app network access, just click on that and you will find the list of the apps and symbols of connectivity like WiFi and Mobile data, so you can disable the Internet access for any app you want, just make that connectivity symbol gray by taping on that icon, and that app won't be able to access the Internet until you turn it green again.
