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.
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.
Turn On/Off Auto-Switch to Receiver
If you switch a call to speaker on your Realme phone, you normally have to tap the speaker icon again before holding the phone back to your ear. With Auto-switch to receiver enabled, the proximity sensor detects when you lift the phone and moves the audio back to the earpiece by itself. This guide shows where the toggle sits and what stops it from working reliably.
Turn On TalkBack
Once TalkBack is active, a single tap no longer opens an app or link - it only selects the item and reads it aloud, while a double tap confirms the action. Without knowing this, screens can feel unresponsive or apps may seem to ignore normal touches. This gesture shift is intentional and helps visually impaired users orient themselves on the realme interface.
Delete a User Account
If a family member or friend no longer uses your Realme phone but their profile still takes up storage or shows outdated apps and data, removing that user account fixes it. Deleting a profile wipes every setting, app, and file tied to it at once, so it is worth double-checking before you confirm. Only the phone's administrator can do this, and the guest profile cannot be removed the same way.
Power + Volume Down Screenshot Shortcut
If pressing the power button and the volume down button at the same time does nothing on your Realme phone, the screenshot shortcut for this combo is switched off. Some people go the other way and want to turn it off completely, because the phone keeps grabbing screenshots by accident while they adjust the volume. This on/off switch sits separately from the screenshot gestures and is easy to miss in the settings.
Show or Hide Battery Percentage
Guessing how much charge is left from a shrinking battery icon gets annoying fast, especially before a long day out. Realme UI lets you replace that guesswork with an exact number, but the option sits inside the notification settings and is easy to overlook. You can also turn the percentage off again if you prefer a cleaner status bar.
