Multiple User Accounts & Guest Mode
Multiple user accounts let you separate your personal apps, photos and settings from someone else who borrows your Realme phone. Guest mode goes a step further and hides your data completely while a friend or family member uses the device. Both features run on the same Android foundation but serve different levels of privacy and sharing.
Manage App Permissions in Permission Manager
If an app keeps reaching for your camera, microphone, or location without a clear reason, the cause is usually a permission you granted once and forgot about. On a Realme phone, permissions are grouped by function rather than by app, which makes it hard to spot which app holds which access at a glance. Checking the permission manager shows exactly which apps currently use each sensitive function.
Schedule Auto Power On/Off
Turning your Realme phone off every night and switching it on again the next morning is easy to forget, especially on weekends or while traveling. A missed power-off wastes battery and keeps notifications buzzing through the night. Realme UI lets you automate both actions so the phone starts up and shuts down on its own at fixed times.
Auto-start Apps: Allow or Deny
If your realme phone feels sluggish right after a restart, too many apps might be launching automatically in the background. Realme UI keeps a list of which apps are allowed to auto-launch after boot, and unchecked entries pile up over time. This drains RAM and battery before you even open a single app.
Change Device Name
Your Realme phone shows its model number, like realme 7, as the default device name in Bluetooth lists, Wi-Fi Direct, and file-sharing apps. That generic label makes it hard to spot your phone when connecting to speakers, headphones, or other devices nearby. Renaming it to something personal, like TechBone Phone, clears up that confusion right away.
Screenshot Gestures and Capture Shortcuts
Screenshot gestures let you capture your screen without hunting for a button combo, using a swipe or a tap from the Smart Sidebar instead. This function area covers which gestures Realme UI offers, how they behave, and where you turn them on or off. Understanding the options helps you pick the fastest capture method for your daily use.
Bluetooth Connections and Pairing
Bluetooth on your Realme phone lets you connect headphones, speakers, smartwatches, and other nearby devices without cables. It also handles quick file transfers and pairing with accessories that rely on a short-range wireless link. Knowing how the feature behaves helps you avoid dropped connections and battery drain.
Home Screen Widgets
Widgets turn your Realme home screen into a live dashboard instead of a wall of app icons. They show calendar entries, weather, battery status, or media controls without opening the app itself. Once you understand how widget sizes, stacks, and refresh behavior work, you can build a home screen that actually saves you taps.
Vision Accessibility Tools on Realme UI
Realme UI bundles a set of vision accessibility tools that help people with low vision, color blindness, or reading difficulties use their phone comfortably. This area covers screen readers, magnification, contrast adjustments, and text scaling that work together instead of forcing you to rely on a single fix. Understanding what each tool does makes it easier to pick the right combination for your eyesight and daily habits.
Date, Time & Time Zone Settings
Realme UI handles date, time and time zone through a dedicated settings area that keeps your phone in sync with mobile networks, Wi-Fi, or GPS. Getting this right matters for messaging timestamps, calendar reminders, alarms, and any app that relies on an accurate clock. This hub explains how automatic and manual time sync work on Realme UI and when you need to switch between them.
SIM Card & Dual-SIM Settings
On Realme phones with two SIM slots, you decide which card handles calls, texts and mobile data at any given moment. This area covers how that assignment works, how to switch between active SIMs, and why one SIM might stay idle while the other carries all your data traffic. Understanding these settings helps you avoid dropped calls, unexpected roaming charges, or a SIM that silently stops working.
Turn On/Off Call Forwarding
If calls land straight in voicemail even though your phone shows full signal, or every incoming call suddenly rings on a different number, call forwarding is likely active in your carrier call settings. Realme groups four forwarding modes together: Always forward, When busy, When unanswered and When unreachable, and each one behaves differently depending on network conditions. On dual-SIM phones, these settings apply separately per SIM, so a rule enabled on one line won't affect the other.
Manage App Quick Freeze for Idle Apps
If chat messages or notifications only show up minutes late, App Quick Freeze on your Realme phone is probably putting that app to sleep in the background. The feature pauses data traffic for apps you haven't opened in a while, which saves battery but also blocks incoming and outgoing data. For messaging apps this can mean missed alerts until you open the app manually.
Set Up Private DNS
If your Realme phone still resolves domain names over plain, unencrypted DNS, anyone on the same network can log which sites and apps you connect to. Switching to a private DNS server fixes that, but only if you pick the right mode and enter a working hostname. Many users get stuck between Automatic and a Designated provider without knowing which one actually applies.
Ring and Notification Sounds
Ring and notification sounds tell you who is calling and which app needs your attention. On Realme phones you can assign different tones per contact or per app, adjust how loud each sound category plays, and control how sounds behave when Focus modes are active. Getting this right means fewer missed calls and fewer annoying alerts at the wrong moment.
Data Saving Mode on Android
Data Saving mode limits how much mobile data apps can use in the background, which helps you avoid surprise overage charges on a limited plan. It works by restricting background data access for apps you are not actively using, while still letting the app you have open on screen connect normally. Understanding how it interacts with notifications, downloads, and app updates helps you get the most out of a smaller data allowance.
Turn USB-OTG On or Off
If your Realme phone doesn't recognize a USB mouse, keyboard, or flash drive plugged into the USB-C port, USB-OTG support is likely switched off. This function lets accessories draw data and sometimes power through the port, but Realme UI keeps it disabled by default on many models to save battery. Turning it off again once you're done also prevents unwanted devices from connecting automatically.
Switch Between 12-Hour and 24-Hour Clock
The clock on your Realme phone picks up its format automatically from the network and your selected region, so it can default to 12-hour or 24-hour display without asking you first. If that does not match what you expect on the lock screen, status bar, or alarms, the format sits behind a single toggle in Date & time settings.
Turn Call Waiting On or Off
If a second call slips through without any notification sound while you are already on a call, Call waiting is disabled on your Realme phone. Depending on your carrier, this feature is often active by default, but it can silently switch off after a system update or a SIM swap. Missed calls during an active call almost always trace back to this one setting.
Allow or Block Display Over Other Apps
When Messenger or Facebook stop showing chat bubbles or floating windows on your Realme phone, the Display over other apps permission is usually switched off. This setting decides whether an app can draw its interface on top of whatever else is open on screen. Without it, floating icons, quick-reply popups and overlay notifications simply do not show up.
Camera Watermarks on Realme Phones
Watermarks on Realme phones let you stamp photos with a personal signature, device details, date, or location directly from the camera app. The feature turns a plain shot into a branded or documented image without extra editing apps. It matters most for anyone who shares photos publicly, sells items online, or wants proof of when and where a picture was taken.
Wi-Fi Connection and Network Settings
Wi-Fi settings on Realme phones control how your device finds, joins, and remembers wireless networks. This area also governs signal behavior, network priorities, and sharing options like hotspot and Wi-Fi Direct. Getting familiar with it helps you fix slow connections and avoid unnecessary mobile data use.
Set Up and Start Screen Recording
If your screen recordings on Realme phones start without sound or come out in the wrong resolution, the recording options under Convenience tools have not been set up yet. Realme UI lets you configure microphone audio, system sound and video quality before you launch a recording from Quick settings. Getting these options right first saves you from redoing clips that already missed key audio or turned out blurry.
Keyboard Suggestions and Text Prediction
Keyboard suggestions on Realme phones predict your next word, correct typos, and offer emoji or clipboard content as you type. This system learns from your typing habits over time and can work across multiple languages at once. Knowing how it works helps you type faster and avoid unwanted autocorrections.
