These are Vivo V7 Plus Tips and Tricks:

  1. Split Screen Mode: Even on the previous phones, we had split screen mode and to use that we have a gesture, and it’s enabled by default. But, make sure you go to
    Settings – Then select Smart Split – Then select the second option – Manual Split Screen, and make sure the toggle is enabled.Now if this toggle is enabled, you can select any application or any compatible application and swipe down using three fingers to open that application in a split-screen mode.

    Now, you can select the second application from the list over there, or else, on this phone you can go to the home screen and then select any application from the home screen.

  2. Make Apps Full Screen: You can make apps go Fullscreen. Now, by default, all the apps are optimized to go Fullscreen but there are applications like games and stuff which don’t go Fullscreen by default.When we open a game we get an option on the right side to make it go Fullscreen and just in case if you can’t find that option you need to go to
    Settings – Then select Display Settings – Then scroll to the bottom and select Third-party App Display Ratio.Enable the toggle for the application that you want to go Fullscreen. So once you do that and open the application again, that application will go Fullscreen.

    Quick-Tip: While watching videos on YouTube, you can do a pin gesture to go Fullscreen. This is something you can do on most phones these days, especially with the new aspect ratio.

  3. Navigation Gestures: If you’re bored with the navigation keys, you can go to
    Settings – Select System Navigation – The select Navigation Gestures.

    Now once you do that, navigation bar is hidden and you get three buttons/indicators at the bottom.
    Now you can swipe from the right side, to go back
    Swipe from the center, to go home
    Swipe and hold, for recent apps
    And Swipe from the left side, for control center.
    So, there are all your notification toggles, brightness slider and sound slider, etc.

  4. Shot Re-Focus: If you want to take a portrait short of a human subject you can simply take a portrait shot. But if you want to take a portrait shot of an object, like a cup, you have a dedicated mode called Shot Re-Focus.
    Just enable the toggle in camera app and you can select your subject, and you can also change the amount of background blur effect before and after taking a picture.After taking a picture in this mode, you can go to the gallery application and you get an option over there called Bokeh.
    Once you click it, you can change your focus point and the amount of background blur effect you want.
    This is something you should definitely try with objects.
  5. Camera Gestures: To enable them go to
    Settings – Enable the first one, that’s Touch
    And once you do that, you can touch the preview window to take a picture.
    Next we have Voice. Once you enable it, you can say cheese to take a picture.
    Next we have Palm Gesture. Which works really well taking selfies. I can simply show my palm to take a picture in 3 seconds.

  6. Face Unlock: This phone also supports face unlock feature. It is insanely fast. Now, if you want to use face unlock feature, there are things that you need to do. So, first go to
    Settings – Then select Fingerprint, Face, and Password – Then select Face – Enter your password.


    Now if you want to use Face unlock right out of the box, go to Face Settings and Select this option:

    And once you do that, every time your display lights up, camera pops up and sees your face and unlocks the phone.

    Or else, if you want to use Face Unlock only when you see the lock screen, you can swipe up and then face unlock works.
    To configure your phone in this way, go to
    Settings – Face Settings and select the Second option.

    By the way, you can lock applications and unlock them using Face Unlock. To do that, go to
    Settings – Then select Security – Then Select Fingerprint Face, and Password – Then select Face, enter your password and make sure you enable the toggle that says, Privacy and App encryption.

  7. Record Calls Automatically: If you want to record calls automatically on your phone, this is what you need to do go to Settings – Scroll to the bottom – Select System App Settings – Select Phone – Then select Record Settings – Select Record All calls automatically.
    Once you do that, all the calls will be recorded automatically on your phone.
  8. Default App Management: If you want to change your default browser, default launcher or default messaging application, go to Settings – Then scroll down a bit – Select more settings – Select permission management – Then select default app settings
    Now from here you can change your default browser, default launcher, default music player, and so on.
  9. Smart Click: To enable it go to
    Settings – Select Smart Click
    Now, using this feature we can toggle flash on/off even when the phone is locked.

    Now once your phone is locked, you can press and hold the volume down button to turn on the flash. Press the power button once to turn it off.

  10. Screen Shots: On any Android phone if you want to take a screenshot, you can simply press and hold the volume down and power button both at the same time and your phone will take a screenshot.On this phone, you also have a gesture for that. You can swipe up using three fingers to take a screenshot it works literally everywhere and it is super simple.To enable that, go to
    Settings – S-Capture – Enable Toggle Three Finger Swipe screenshot.

  11. Long Screenshot: If you want to take a longer screenshot, first you need to take a regular screenshot. You can either use the buttons or the gesture and then click long screenshot. Once you do that, you get few options on the right side.Click Next, to scroll a bit and then you can do it again and again and once you’re satisfied, you can click Save to take a long screenshot. You can find that picture in the gallery.
    – If you want to do a bit more with your screenshots, maybe doodle them or if you want to even record your screen, this phone has a feature called super screenshot.
    To access it, swipe from the bottom and select s capture now once you do that, we get few options. Just give them a try.
  12. Super saver mode: It improves your standby time a lot. To enable it, you can go to
    Notification toggles – Swipe to the left side – Enable Super Saver Once you enable this mode, you will be given access to only four applications, that’s your clock, contacts, messages and phone dialer.
    Besides that, you can’t do anything else on your phone. You can’t even take pictures. So, if you use your phone in this mode you will have drastically better battery life.

    Let’s say you have just 5% of battery and you don’t want your phone to die for maybe 1 or 2 hours you can enable this more and your phone will stay much longer.

  13. Show Battery and Network Usage: These are some very quick tips. Go to
    Settings – Then select Status Bar and Notification.
    If you are like me, who hates banner notifications, those notifications which pop up near the top, you can select
    Top Preview style and disable it from here.
    This is one of the few phones that give you this option.
    Next, if you want to display the battery percentage on the status bar or if you want to hide it, you can change it from here.

    Finally, if you want to display the network usage on the status bar, you can enable the toggle here. Once you do that, you can see the network speed or network usage near the top area along with time.

  14. Font Style: You can even change the font style of the text on the phone. To do that, go to
    Settings – Select Display and Brightness – Select Font Style – From here, you can select the font you like or even download more from the internet.


    Just under the Font Style, there’s another option, Font Size.

    This is where you can choose the size of the font you want. The Huge font can be useful for elderly or anyone who can’t see smaller text properly.

  15. Display Sleep Time/Auto Lock: You can change your screen lock time. You can set it to 10 minutes or 30 minutes or few options in-between.
  16. Flashlight Notification: Once you enable this, the flashlight goes off, whenever you receive message or call. This might be useful in a dark room, where you might’ve to keep your phone on silent.
