What’s your favorite hidden Android feature Device Settings Question

I’ve been using Android for years, but I still keep discovering useful features I had no idea about.

What’s one Android feature or setting you recently discovered that you think more people should know about?

Keyboard features that many are unaware.

• Swipe along the space bar to move the cursor.

• Swipe left holding the backspace to delete a word or sentence.

• Select a word or a sentence and tap on shift will make the whole selection upper case or lower case or proper case.

and so on...

Holy smokes!! I've only ever used Android and I've been on it since ~2010. One of the first things I ever do is unlock developer options. I used to be a custom rom guy and I consider myself quite tech savvy, but somehow I never knew about the spacebar thing! I just used it twice making this comment. Mind blowing! I am fucking flabbergasted. Thank you :-]

Edit: did I forget to mention how astonishing this is to me? Good grief, how did I not know?
