Turn Wi-Fi Calling On or Off
Calls that keep dropping or barely connecting usually point to weak cellular reception rather than a broken phone. Wi-Fi Calling routes your voice calls through an available Wi-Fi network instead of the mobile signal, but only if your carrier actually supports it. On a dual SIM Realme phone the setting also needs to be checked per SIM.
Auto Sort Notifications
When notifications from different apps pile up in random order, the notification shade turns into a scroll marathon. Realme UI can group and sort notifications automatically per app, but this behavior stays off until you switch it on yourself. Without it, alerts just stack in the order they arrive, no matter which app sent them.
Set Default SIM Card for Mobile Data
If your realme phone keeps using the wrong SIM for mobile data, apps may load slowly or not connect at all, especially when only one of your two SIM cards has an active data plan. This usually happens because the phone still has the other SIM set as the default for internet, and Realme UI does not switch this automatically when you swap SIM cards or plans.
Optimize Battery Consumption
If your Realme phone drains faster than expected and you cannot pinpoint which app or setting is responsible, checking each menu manually takes too long. Realme UI can scan system and app behavior on its own and return a list of tailored suggestions to extend battery life. You choose which suggestions to apply, so background tasks you rely on stay untouched.
Rename a Folder
New folders on your Realme home screen get generic names like 'Social Networks' or 'Lifestyle', assigned automatically based on the apps you drop inside them. If you sort apps by your own logic - projects, moods, or daily routines - these auto-generated labels stop making sense fast. Renaming lets you turn any folder into something that actually matches how you use your phone.
Share Wi-Fi Password via QR Code
Reading out a long Wi-Fi password letter by letter to a guest wastes time and often ends in a typo on their end. Realme UI can turn the password of the network your phone is currently connected to into a scannable QR code, so any other phone with a camera joins in seconds. This only works for the active connection, not for networks that are merely saved on your phone.
Eye Comfort Schedule Setup
If eye comfort mode on your Realme phone only kicks in when you remember to tap the toggle, screen strain creeps back in during evening reading sessions. The feature filters blue light and cooler tones, but without a fixed schedule it depends entirely on manual activation at the right moment. A defined start and end time keeps the warmer color tone active exactly when you need it, without you thinking about it.
Hearing Accessibility Features
Realme UI groups several tools under one roof to make calls, media, and notifications easier to hear and follow. This area covers sound adjustments, visual alerts, and compatibility options for hearing aids, so you can tailor audio output to your own hearing needs. Understanding what each option does helps you pick the right combination instead of guessing through menus.
Allow Repeated Calls Through Do Not Disturb
When Do Not Disturb is active on a Realme phone, even urgent second calls from the same number can get silenced along with everything else. This makes it hard to tell a routine call apart from someone trying to reach you again because of an emergency. Realme UI has a dedicated exception for this, but it is easy to miss if you only check the contact-based Do Not Disturb settings.
Reset Network Settings
When Wi-Fi keeps dropping, Bluetooth won't pair, or mobile data refuses to connect on your Realme phone, a corrupted network profile is often the cause. Resetting the network settings clears saved Wi-Fi passwords, paired Bluetooth devices, and mobile network configurations so the phone rebuilds them from scratch.
Set Daily Data Limit
If your monthly data plan disappears within a few days, uncontrolled background usage on a single day is often the cause. Realme UI only tracks a monthly limit by default, so a heavy streaming or update day can go unnoticed until the bill or plan warning arrives. A daily limit gives you an earlier checkpoint before the monthly cap is even close.
Add App Shortcuts to the Home Screen
If your realme home screen looks empty and every app only shows up in a separate drawer, the app drawer view is switched on. That is normal behavior, not a missing icon or a broken launcher. You just need to pull the apps you actually use onto the home screen yourself.
Emergency SOS: How the Safety Feature Works
Emergency SOS on Realme phones lets you send a distress signal with location data to selected contacts by pressing the power button repeatedly. It is built for moments when you cannot unlock your phone or dial a number normally. Knowing how it triggers and what it sends helps you rely on it when it actually matters.
Font & Display Size
Font size and display size control how readable text and interface elements look on your Realme phone. Together they decide whether icons feel cramped or oversized, and whether you can read a text message without squinting. Getting the balance right affects every app on the device, not just one screen.
Set the Time Manually
If your Realme phone keeps snapping back to network time, entering a new value under Date & time does nothing. Realme UI pulls the clock from your carrier and region automatically, so any manual edit gets overwritten until that sync is turned off. This gets in the way when you have no active SIM, travel with data disabled, or just need a slightly different time for testing.
Create a Folder on the Home Screen
When your home screen fills up with icons on your Realme phone, related apps get scattered and take longer to find, whether the app drawer is turned on or off. Grouping apps into a folder keeps the layout readable without deleting or hiding anything. Realme UI lets you build a folder directly on the home screen with a simple drag gesture, no extra menu required.
Uninstall Apps via App Management
If the press-and-hold shortcut on the home screen does not offer an Uninstall option, or the app icon is grayed out, the system settings still let you remove it. This happens with apps that were installed through certain sources or that sit in a folder where the long-press menu behaves differently. The settings route works for almost every app on the device, regardless of how it was installed.
Save Photos and Videos Automatically to SD Card
On many Realme phones, the camera keeps saving new photos and videos to internal storage even after you insert an SD card. This fills up your internal memory fast and can slow down the camera once space runs low. A setting inside the camera app lets you switch the default save location to the SD card.
Turn OSIE Visual Effect On or Off
If photos and videos look oversaturated or artificially sharpened in supported apps on your Realme phone, the OSIE visual effect is likely active. The engine boosts colors and textures automatically, which can also increase power draw during playback. Turning it off returns images to their natural look and can help save battery.
Turn Secure Keyboard On or Off for Password Input
When you tap into a password field on your Realme phone, the keyboard sometimes switches to a plainer look and screenshots or screen recordings stop working. This is the secure keyboard for password input, and it can block password managers, glide typing, or screen-sharing apps that need to capture that area. If you have never seen this setting, a blacked-out keyboard during a support call or tutorial recording looks like a glitch rather than a security feature.
Set Up Fingerprint Unlock
Unlocking your Realme phone with a PIN or pattern every time gets tedious fast, especially when you only want to glance at the screen. Fingerprint Unlock lets the sensor recognize you instantly, but it only works once a fingerprint is actually registered under Password & biometrics. Without that step, the sensor stays inactive and Realme UI keeps asking for your backup unlock method.
Set Up App Lock for Individual Apps
Anyone who picks up your unlocked Realme phone can open banking apps, messengers, or your gallery without a second check. App lock closes that gap by asking for an extra password before a chosen app opens, but the option only appears once a privacy password exists on the device. Without that password set first, the switch for locking individual apps stays inactive.
Camera Watermark Settings
Photos and videos from the Realme camera sometimes carry a small stamp in the lower corner showing the realme logo, the text "Shot on realme" and the phone model. This can look unwanted when you share images professionally, or it might be missing when you actually want the branding visible. Whether the stamp shows up depends on a single camera setting that is easy to overlook until it appears in the gallery.
Change Notification Volume Separately
If notification sounds feel too loud or too quiet compared to your ringtone, turning the ringer or media slider does nothing to fix it. Realme UI treats notifications, incoming texts, and app alerts as their own volume category, independent from calls, music, and alarms.
