1. Hidden functions
2. System UI Tuner
3. Flappy Bird Game
4. Quick launch of the Clock application
5. Quick glance at Battery information

With all of Android's updates, it wouldn't be surprising to find a lot of features hidden under its interface. Google hides these options to prevent computer users from making unnecessary changes and keep them for more experienced users. These secrets vary according to the level of usefulness of the functions in the field of mobile management..

All of these hidden features are still available now on the first version of Android 9.0 Pie. We don't know yet whether or not Google will decide to remove them in the latest versions, but we still want to keep these functions. With a tutorial on how to unlock these functions of Android, you will be able to find them more easily and then impress your friends and family members.

1. Hidden functions

Hidden Functions is a new secret menu option available on Android 9.0 Pie. Similar to Chrome's Secret Options (which are similarly named), Hidden Features allow people who don't like changes to revert to version-specific designs of Android Oreo..

2. System UI Tuner

We know that the System UI Tuner has a secret menu on Android since 6.0 Marshmallow. Although these functions are gradually moving to other areas, it is still one of the only methods you can use to modify the statue bar without installing a root on your device. However, unlike the previous version of Android, System UI Tuner on Android Pie crashes with a different method.

3. Flappy Bird Game

We know that Android always has a surprise for all operating system updates. Usually it asks for a few simultaneous presses on the version number in the "About device" page, this will show animations or games related to the dessert hence the OS version to come..

Although Android Pie's surprise is just a boring "P" symbol, an old popular feature is still included in it: the Flappy Bird clone that is known as Flappy Droid is now hidden elsewhere. This game was first introduced in 5.0 Lollipop and had a different environment from the popular game we know, while having large lollipops as the obstacles to avoid. With Android 6.0 Marshmallow, this game has been updated to reflect the new dessert with large marshmallows rather than lollipops.

The Marshmallow version of this game has lurked on a few newer versions of Android, including Pie.

4. Quick launch of the Clock application

One of the awesome features hidden on Android 9.0 Pie is a new way to quickly go to Clock app. If you tap in the top left corner of the "Quick Settings" menu (whether it's fully or partially revealed), you can launch the Clock app. And best of all, if you have multiple Clock apps installed on your phone, you can select one that you want to launch.

5. Quick glance at Battery information

Similar to the last hidden feature, Pie also introduced a new method to quickly access the “Battery” menu from any screen. With the Quick Settings revealed (fully or partially), you can go straight to the battery menu by selecting the battery icon in the top right. It's not surprising, but it's still great.
