Phones are often packed full of widgets. Here is a photo of mine for example:

Auto Rotate is a mess. I've found my experience with it way too wonky on every phone I've ever owned. (Enabled and highlighted it for the sake of the photo).

Bluetooth is awesome but it's a real battery eater. So is the flashlight.

What features does your phone have that help in your life?

I use about 10% of features on my phone and ignore the other 90%. 😅

I can understand this too ❤️

It was only recently I began using these features for practical purposes.

Phones are compact (flashlights, calendars, notepads, etc). It's amazing how much utility we can carry in our pockets now.
 
There's probably a bunch of features I don't remember or know are there because I don't use them.
As for useful things in my life, I keep checking the weather app as well as the time. I also have to check what day it is because they all blend together in my mind.
 
I'm going to slightly retract a comment.

I like Bluetooth, but I don't like how modern phones are phasing out the headphone slot.

I'd like to keep the option between Bluetooth and wired.
 
I just got this smartphone 2 years ago now, after being forced to ditch my old cell phone. There's a good percentage of this phone I don't touch. lol

I use these features mostly, for my iPhone 12. WiFi is always on if I’m in a zone. Otherwise, it’s on cellular data.
