You now do not have to open the phone and then search for the light, just click and hold the volume down button and your flashlight is on.You can assign any feature to the smart click.
One Handed Mode: Do you have tiny hands and the phone is too large? Don’t worry, here’s one-handed mode to the rescue.

Also, it’s very handy for anyone who doesn’t want to use both their hands to navigate through the phone.
3 Finger Screenshot: By just swiping up with three fingers you can take a screenshot.
If you struggle taking a screenshot by pressing both the volume down button and the power button at the same time, just enable this feature and enjoy.

Whenever you take a screenshot, there’s an option available right under the screenshot preview at top right corner that says, ‘Long screenshot’. You can just press it and start using the option bar that is displayed on the right.
Air operations:Glance: You can enable this by going here: Settings → Smart Motion → Air Operations → Black Screen Glance. Once you enable this, just wave over the proximity sensor and it’ll display time.

If you don’t put any passwords on your phone, then just waving over the proximity sensor will unlock the phone.
Double tap to sleep: Double tap to sleep feature easily locks the phone screen. Rather than pressing the power button or waiting for it to lock by itself, you can double tap an empty area on the home screen to lock the screen.

You can even adjust the warmness or coolness of the tint to your specific needs.In few phones, this is known as Night Mode or Reading Mode. This is a good feature as it protects your eyes from harmful rays of screen. Enable this mode at night (or even day) to let the screen go easy on your eyes.
Game Mode: If you’re a gamer, this is totally what you’d need. It helps in keeping away the ‘distractions’ that might interrupt your gaming experience, by auto rejecting the calls, blocking all floating notifications, and disabling automatic Wi-Fi connection.You can change the settings for a particular game or all games to allow few calls from important people.

Tips and Tricks

Make Apps Full Screen: There are 3 different modes an app appears, (i) With 2 black bars on either side
(ii) Status bar completely in black, and
(iii) Full Screen.To make apps full screen go here:
How to Make Face Unlock Smoother: Setup both fingerprint and face unlock, and tap on the fingerprint while looking at the phone. It’ll unlock much faster. Enable Screen Fill Light, and in the darkness it’ll increase the screen brightness to see your face clearly. You can enable Quick Recognition to make it even faster, but a photograph or video can fool it.
Lock Screen Poster: Every time you press the power button to unlock the phone, the wallpaper changes. When it happens, you can click on the lock icon to lock a wallpaper and just keep a single wallpaper without it changing. You can disable it too, from the settings.
Change Fingerprint Animation Style: To change how the In-Display fingerprint animation looks like while unlocking.
Record Calls Automatically: To record all calls automatically, you can enable this setting. It’s helpful to record calls as it might help understand someone better when the signals are weak.
Split Screen Mode: You can swipe down using 3 fingers and the split screen mode will be enabled. All the apps don’t support this, though.
Change the Default Apps: The default browser is not that great. Therefore, you can change that in the settings to the browser you want. While you are there, you can even select Nova Launcher (if you have installed it) as a default option under Home Screen, so it will take you to Nova Launcher when you press home button.
Smart Motion: Enable these 3 toggles for a seamless experience while using the phone. Raise to wake also helps in using face unlock much smoothly.
Flashlight Notification: The flashlight will flicker when you receive a call, notification or a message. It’d be helpful when you have to put your phone in silent.
Smart Click: You can press and hold the volume down button to make it do few things. Like: Turn On/Off Flashlight, Record Audio, Open Camera, etc.
Screenshots: There’s the traditional way of taking a screenshot, that is holding the volume down button and power button at the same time. There are other screenshot variantions like 3 finger screenshot, long screenshot and super screenshot.
Rearrange On-Screen Navigation Buttons: In this you can select how the navigation buttons can appear or in what order.

Heads Up Notification: If you want to turn off the notification pop ups on top of the screen, you can disable it using this setting. It is a great thing to turn off all the notification pop-ups at once.
The notifications are still visible once you swipe down the notification bar. While you are there, you can toggle the Battery percentage indicator and even the Network speed indicator. Which just shows or hides the number of percentage or speed.
Disable Control Center: It would be annoying if control center pops out of nowhere while playing a game. Therefore, you can just disable it to avoid that. To access it, you would have to go to the home screen.
OTG: To connect USB device to your phone, you have to enable this setting, as it is disabled by default.
Wake up screen reminder: It’s just like Ambient display. When you receive a notification, it’ll wake up the lock screen.
Show battery percentage and network usage on the status bar: To show the battery percentage and network usage on the status bar, follow these steps:
Font Style: You can change the font style of the device. There are only two fonts available, so you can sign in to Vivo account to download more fonts.
Rearranging Notification Toggles: Long press icons in the control center to move them or swap them with other ones.
