Stay on Lock Screen After Face Unlock
On Realme phones, pressing the power button often unlocks the device straight to the home screen as soon as your face is recognized, so the lock screen never actually shows up. That skips past notifications, widgets, and other lock screen info you might still want to glance at. Realme UI has a separate screen unlock setting that decides whether recognition unlocks the phone immediately or just wakes the display for a swipe.
Delete Learned Words and Keyboard Data
If your Realme keyboard keeps suggesting typos, old names, or words you typed by accident, its learned dictionary has picked up too much noise. Gboard builds this dictionary from everything you type, so autocorrect and predictions start feeling off after a while. Clearing that stored data resets suggestions back to normal without affecting your other settings.
Change SIM PIN
A new SIM card usually ships with a default PIN chosen by your carrier, and that code is rarely one you would pick yourself. On Realme phones this PIN lives in the Security settings, completely separate from your screen lock or device password. Keeping the default in place makes it easier for anyone who gets hold of your SIM to guess it.
Reset Advertising ID
If ads on your Realme phone still feel oddly specific even after you cleared your browser history, the tracking is happening through a device-level advertising ID, not your browser. This identifier links your app activity and search behavior across services until it gets reset. Resetting it breaks that link and starts a fresh, anonymous tracking profile.
Show or Hide App Suggestions in the App Drawer
Every time you open the app drawer on your Realme phone, a row of suggested apps shows up above your full app list, picked based on what you have opened recently. If you find that suggestion bar distracting, or you just do not want Realme UI displaying your last-used apps at the top, that behavior comes from a single toggle you may not have noticed yet.
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.
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.
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 Optimized Night Charging
If your phone sits on the charger all night at full charge, the battery wears out faster than it should. Optimized night charging on Realme phones learns your daily routine and slows the final part of the charge so the battery is not held at 100 percent for hours. When the feature is off or your charging habits are irregular, the phone reaches full charge quickly and just stays there until you unplug it.
Autospace After Punctuation: Enable or Disable
If your texts need a space right after a period, comma or question mark, Gboard on your Realme phone can add it automatically while you type WhatsApp messages or emails. The feature is still in beta and currently works only with the US English keyboard, so it may behave differently or stay hidden with other language 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 Home Screen Wallpaper
If your Realme phone keeps showing the same default background or a live wallpaper you never picked, the Wallpapers menu inside Personalizations is where that setting lives. Static images, animated live wallpapers, and your own gallery photos all sit in one place, but picking the wrong option can leave a live wallpaper running in the background and draining battery. Knowing which category to pick first saves you from applying the wrong wallpaper twice.
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 Google Location History On or Off
If Google Maps Timeline shows blank days or never remembers the places you visited, Location History is probably switched off for your Google account. If you would rather stop your Realme phone from reporting your movements to Google at all, the same setting is what you need to check. Either way, the toggle sits inside your Google account settings, not in a separate Realme menu.
Move a Widget on the Home Screen
A widget lands in the wrong spot on the Realme home screen and clutters the icons around it. Since every widget has a fixed minimum size, a few pixels off can throw the whole layout out of balance. Repositioning it takes only a quick drag, but the exact gesture is not obvious on the first try.
Bluetooth Tethering Setup
If your laptop or tablet has no free USB port or you want to avoid draining your battery with a Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth tethering shares your Realme phone's mobile data over an existing Bluetooth pairing. Speeds are lower than a Wi-Fi hotspot, but the connection uses noticeably less power. It only works with devices you have already paired over Bluetooth.
Deletion Sound: Turn On or Off
Every time you delete a text message or another item on your Realme phone, a short beep plays automatically. If that sound gets annoying or you cannot find where to switch it off, the option hides inside the general sound and haptics settings, not in a separate app.
Reset Camera Settings
If your Realme camera keeps producing washed-out photos, odd aspect ratios, or shaky video because of settings you tweaked earlier, going back through every option one by one wastes time. A full reset brings the camera app back to its factory configuration in seconds. Your existing photos and videos stay untouched.
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.
Turn On Automatic Network Selection
If your Realme phone stopped switching networks automatically after a trip abroad or near a border region, chances are automatic network selection got switched off along the way. The phone then stays locked to whichever carrier it last connected to, even when a stronger signal from your home provider is available. This usually happens after a manual carrier search or a change made in roaming settings.
Remove App Shortcuts from the Home Screen
When the home screen on a Realme phone fills up with app icons you rarely tap, finding the apps you actually need takes longer every time. Removing a shortcut only takes the icon off the home screen - the app stays installed and can still run in the background or send notifications. Mixing this up with uninstalling is why storage space does not shrink afterward.
Set a Custom Ringtone from Your Own Audio Files
If the default ringtones on your Realme phone all sound the same, you can swap them for a song or audio file you already have on your device. On Dual SIM phones, you can also assign a separate tone to each SIM card, which helps you tell work calls apart from private ones just by the sound. This does not require any extra app.
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Scanning for Location Accuracy
If your Realme phone still detects nearby Wi-Fi networks or Bluetooth devices after you switch both radios off, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning is running in the background. This system function lets apps and location services use nearby networks and devices to sharpen your position, independent of the actual Wi-Fi or Bluetooth toggle. That extra accuracy comes with a trade-off in battery use and background access for apps you may not want scanning at all.
