Did you know that there's a hack to find free Wi-Fi? Pick a computer update at work, grow an extra ear on your phone, and even get you out of danger? Things are about to get crazy with 15 of my most hidden tech hacks that are so useful, you'd wish you knew them sooner. 1 OLD PHONES Okay, so this is a crazy useful hack, and you can do it with any old phone you might have lying around somewhere, whether it's an Android or an iPhone. On that old phone, all you got to do is head to the Play Store or the App Store and download an app called Alfred Home Security Camera. And once you've opened it up, just log in using your Gmail. Then, over here in the top left corner, change it from viewer to camera. Switch to Camera. Use this device as a camera to film and monitor. OK. Then go and get your current phone you're using and make sure you also have the Alfred app on here too. Log in using the same Gmail account. And as soon as you've done that, you'll see your old phone's camera feed on your current phone. Now, you've just turned your old phone into a security camera. And that is so cool. And now, let me show you how you can grow an ear on your phone. 2 EXTRA EAR Now for this next hack, you can do this again on either an iPhone or a Samsung. And it's gonna get really sneaky. So let's start off with the Samsung. We're all you gotta do is connect a pair of buds to it. Once you've done that, then go into settings, all the way down to accessibility, and in here under hearing enhancements, you'll see amplify ambient sound. If you toggle this on, then swipe down on the notification panel and press play. What this will do is whatever your phone's microphone picks up, you'll hear through your earbuds. Now, for the iPhone, also just connect a pair of AirPods to it. Then once they're connected, head into the control center, tap on this little ear icon and toggle on Live Listen, which will do the exact same thing as the Samsung and let you listen in on whatever your iPhone is hearing through your earbuds. Now, this is where it gets sneaky. Because basically, wherever you leave your phone, you'll hear what it hears through your buds. So like, let's say, oops, you left your phone by a friend that was on a phone call or in the lounge by your parents, you can now use your buds kind of like a third ear to listen in on everything being said, which is very sneaky, maybe a little too sneaky. But it is good to know because if someone leaves their phone and their earbuds in, they might be a little suspicious. So just keep that in mind. 3 WIFI CODES Now, everyone needs to know this next hack because it'll make life so much easier. And it's actually got to do with Wi-Fi. Because I bet you didn't know that you can log into any Wi-Fi in a couple of seconds, no matter how long the password is. It's actually very simple. On your phone, go into your Wi-Fi settings. Then under the Wi-Fi, you'll see a password that's actually a QR code. And you can scan that QR code into any other device to get the Wi-Fi password.
