Set Up Parental Controls
If your kid spends too much time on the Realme phone or opens apps and content that are not age-appropriate, the missing restriction is usually parental controls, not a broken app. Realme UI bundles screen time limits, content restrictions, and Google Play filtering into one setup flow that many users never open.
Add and Manage Words in the Personal Dictionary
If the Realme keyboard keeps swapping out a name, abbreviation, or technical term for something else while you type, autocorrect is overriding a word it does not recognize. Adding that word to the personal dictionary stops the correction and lets you set a shortcut that expands into a full phrase.
Turn Android Beam On or Off
If file transfers to nearby Android phones fail or the Android Beam option is missing entirely on your Realme phone, NFC is usually switched off or Android Beam has been disabled on its own. Both settings depend on each other, so one without the other leaves beam-to-share unusable. This mostly shows up when you try to send photos, contacts or app links directly between two phones.
Turn Auto-correction On or Off
When Gboard autocorrects words that were already correct, the Text correction feature is usually tuned too aggressively for how you actually type. Names, slang, abbreviations and technical terms get swapped for the wrong suggestion more often than they get fixed. Switching the setting off gives you back full control over what lands on the screen.
Add a Custom Watermark to Photos and Videos
If the built-in phone watermark on your Realme camera isn't personal enough, you might want your own text or an emoji stamped on every shot instead. The option for a custom watermark sits inside the camera settings, separate from the default phone-model stamp, and it's easy to miss on first look.
Turn On/Off Large Mouse Pointer
If you plug a USB mouse into your Realme phone or pair one over Bluetooth, the default cursor stays as thin as the touch pointer and quickly disappears against wallpapers or dark menus. The Large mouse pointer option in Accessibility settings swaps it for a bigger arrow that is easier to track. If you switched it on before and now find the oversized cursor annoying, turning it back off works the same way.
Turn On/Off Data Saving
When Data saving is active on a Realme phone, apps sitting in the background lose their network connection until you bring them to the foreground again. That often means delayed messages, missing notifications, or apps that need a manual refresh before they sync. Some users also notice the opposite problem: mobile data drains fast because the feature is switched off without them realizing it.
Turn On/Off Spell Check
Autocorrect on your Realme phone silently rewrites typos while you type, but it does not flag words it is unsure about. Spell check works differently: it underlines suspicious words in red instead of changing them, so you decide how to fix a mistake. If the red underlining feels distracting, or you rely on it and it has disappeared, the setting lives inside the keyboard app, not the general typing menu.
Adjust Smart Sidebar Opacity
When the Smart Sidebar floating bar sits on top of an app, the home screen, or a submenu, it can cover buttons, text, or icons you actually need. On Realme phones this happens because the floating bar renders at full opacity by default, no matter what is showing behind it. Lowering the transparency keeps quick access to the sidebar without losing sight of the content underneath.
