Icon Autofill Setting
When you uninstall an app on your Realme phone, the other home screen icons sometimes shift on their own to close the empty spot. That happens because of the Icon autofill setting, which rearranges shortcuts without asking first. If you like keeping your icons in fixed positions, this behavior needs to be switched off.
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.
Set Date Manually
On Realme phones the date gets pulled from the mobile network automatically right during setup. If you travel across time zones, use a SIM-less device, or just want a different date for testing, that automatic sync overwrites any manual change you try to make. You need to turn off the sync first before the date field becomes editable.
Show or Hide Real-Time Network Speed in the Status Bar
When the status bar only shows signal bars, you have no way to tell if a stalled download is due to a slow connection or something else. Realme UI can display live upload and download speed next to the clock, but the option stays off by default on most phones.
Change Media Volume Separately
If videos, games, or WhatsApp voice messages stay quiet while your ringtone plays loud and clear, the media volume on your Realme phone runs on its own slider. This level governs apps, streaming services, games, and voice messages, separate from ringtone and notification sounds. Turning up the wrong slider is a common reason media audio still seems muted or too loud.
Battery Saver & Power Modes
Battery Saver on Realme phones adjusts background activity, screen brightness, and network behavior to stretch the last percentage of charge. It matters most when you are away from a charger for hours and need core functions like calls and messaging to keep working. Understanding the different power modes helps you pick the right balance between performance and runtime.
Change Region in Settings
If your realme phone still shows the region picked during initial setup, apps like maps, weather, or the app store may show content meant for the wrong country. You do not need to reset the phone to fix this - the region is just a separate setting from language and time zone.
Add Another Fingerprint
Only one finger enrolled means a wet thumb, a bandage, or an awkward grip angle can block Fingerprint unlock completely. Realme UI lets you store several fingerprints, so payments, App Lock and Private Safe keep working even when your usual finger fails to scan.
Turn On/Off Call Barring
If unwanted international calls keep coming through or you need to block outgoing calls on a shared or work SIM, call barring lets you restrict specific call types on your Realme phone. On Dual SIM devices the restriction only applies to the SIM you configure, not both cards at once. Getting the wrong option turned on can also block calls you actually need, such as roaming while traveling.
Turn On/Off VoLTE Calls
If your Realme phone still connects calls over the 2G or 3G network, call setup feels slower and voice quality suffers. VoLTE routes voice calls through the 4G network instead, but only works when it is switched on for the SIM card you are actually using. On dual-SIM devices each SIM has its own VoLTE toggle, which is why one line can sound noticeably better than the other.
Block Offensive Words in Keyboard Suggestions
If Gboard on your Realme phone quietly swaps out words you typed on purpose or won't suggest certain slang, names, or technical terms, the offensive word filter is likely the reason. This filter runs in the background of the keyboard's text correction settings and stays active by default. It can get in the way when you write casual messages, usernames, or industry jargon that gets mistaken for inappropriate language.
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.
3-Finger Screenshot Gesture Settings
If a stray swipe with three fingers triggers a screenshot while you are scrolling, gaming, or drawing, the three-finger screenshot gesture is active on your Realme phone. Some apps read the same swipe as a scroll or drawing command, so screenshots fire at the wrong moment. Turning the gesture off stops the accidental captures without touching your other screenshot options.
Long-press for Symbols: Enable or Disable
If holding down a key on your Realme keyboard does not show an alternative symbol, or if extra characters pop up when you do not want them, the long-press setting for hidden symbols is likely set the wrong way. This option decides whether hinted characters on Gboard become reachable through a press-and-hold gesture.
Turn On/Off Do Not Disturb
If your Realme phone stays silent even for calls you need, or notifications only show up once you unlock the screen, Do Not Disturb is usually behind it. In this mode calls and messages still arrive, but sound and visible alerts get suppressed unless you have set an exception. Getting the toggle or exceptions wrong leads to missed calls or unwanted interruptions.
App Drawer: Enable or Disable
If all your apps sit scattered across several Realme home screens instead of collected in one place, the App Drawer mode is switched off. Whether new apps land directly on a home screen or in a separate overview depends on this one setting.
Force Stop an App
When a Realme app freezes and stops reacting to taps, the screen locks up and closing it from the recent apps view does not help either. Force stop ends the app process immediately, the way End task works on a Windows PC. Used too often it can also wipe unsaved drafts or log you out of the app.
Add Recovery Email for Privacy Password
Locked out of your private safe because you forgot the privacy password? Without a recovery email saved in advance, Realme UI has no way to verify your identity and the Forgot password option stays greyed out. Adding an email address now is the only way to unlock a reset later.
Change Keyboard Theme
The stock keyboard on your Realme phone often stays locked in a plain gray layout, even though Gboard hides colored themes, gradients and photo backgrounds underneath. If you never opened the theme picker, every app you type in shows the same dull default look.
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 Airplane Mode On or Off
During a flight or in areas with strict wireless rules, your Realme phone still needs to cut cellular, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals at the same time. Switching off each radio separately is slow and easy to forget under time pressure. Airplane mode bundles all three, but many users are not sure where the toggle sits or what keeps working once it is on.
Turn On/Off Personalized Ads
Personalized ads on your Realme phone use your search queries and app activity to pick which promotions you see. Turning the option off does not reduce the number of ads themselves, just the targeting behind them. Many users expect fewer banners after opting out and are surprised when the same volume keeps showing up.
Connect to a Wi-Fi Network
Downloading a system update or a large app over mobile data can eat through your monthly allowance fast, especially if your carrier caps high-speed data. Before you start a big download on your Realme phone, you want to make sure it actually uses your home or office Wi-Fi instead of cellular data. If the phone keeps falling back to mobile data, the Wi-Fi connection was likely never set up or the password was entered wrong.
Add a Downloaded Keyboard
Installed a new keyboard app from the Google Play Store but it never shows up when you tap the input field? On Realme UI, a downloaded keyboard installs onto the phone but stays switched off until you enable it yourself in the keyboard settings. Until that happens, the system keeps falling back to the default keyboard no matter how often you tap the keyboard-switch icon.
