Show or Hide Status Bar Icons
A status bar packed with icons for Bluetooth, alarm, NFC, and mobile data can bury the one piece of information you actually need. On many Realme phones several of these icons stay switched on by default even if you barely use the connection behind them. The status icons menu lets you turn each icon on or off on its own instead of living with a crowded display.
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.
Enable or Disable a SIM Card
If you run two SIM cards in your Realme phone, say one for work and one private, you sometimes need to switch one off without removing it. Deactivating a SIM does not delete its settings, calls and mobile data simply route through the remaining SIM as if only one card was inserted. This is different from ejecting the tray, since the deactivated SIM stays registered for later use.
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.
Switch the Google Backup Account
After turning on automatic Google backup, Realme UI still needs one specific account selected before it knows where to store your data. If several Google accounts are signed in on your phone, the wrong one might be picked by default. You can switch to a different backup account at any time without losing backups you already made.
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.
Turn On/Off Caller ID Announcement
If your Realme phone keeps reading out caller names or numbers even when you are not using a headset, or stays silent when you actually want that announcement while driving, the Caller ID announcement setting is likely set to the wrong option. This feature can read the saved contact name or the raw phone number aloud for every incoming call. Getting the option wrong means either constant interruptions or missing an announcement you actually need.
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.
Turn Bluetooth On or Off
When your realme phone will not connect to headphones, earbuds or a speaker, Bluetooth is often still switched off in the background. The toggle can hide either in the quick settings panel or deep inside the connection settings, and a disabled radio module also blocks any pairing attempt.
Turn On/Off Screen Magnification
Small text, tiny icons, or fine print in photos can be hard to read on a Realme phone screen. Realme UI has a built-in magnifier for exactly this, but it stays switched off until you enable it in the accessibility settings, and the gesture that triggers it isn't obvious at first.
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.
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.
