Smartphones are a tech gadget that billions of people use each day. In fact, you’ll find it hard to spot someone that doesn’t own such a device! Most people assume that smartphones only have a limited feature set.
For example, some folks believe that all you can do is surf the Web, check email and use social media. And call and text, of course! But, smartphones offer way more features than you might care to realize! Here are five examples that might both surprise and shock you:
1. Monitor your heart rate
Believe it or not, you can use any modern smartphone to measure your heart rate! It’s something doctors that offer telemedicine services depend on. In case you wondered, telemedicine is where doctors treat patients remotely. Over 70% of us talk to doctors on the phone or online (see the infographic below).

2. Measurements
Your trusty iPhone or Android device can get used to measure the distance between two points! So, if you’re doing some DIY at home and you don’t have a tape measure, you can use your phone instead!
3. Send a postcard
Sometimes you might want to send a personalized postcard to a friend or loved one. But, it’s often too much hassle to print something out. Especially if you can’t get your printer settings correct! There are smartphone apps you can use to have personalized postcards sent out on your behalf.
4. Digitize documents
If you collect receipts to submit for business expenses, it can be a pain to scan each one of them once a month. These days, you can use your smartphone to scan them and send them to your boss.
5. Stream music
Listening to music on your phone is one thing. But, what if you want to play it on your sound system? Using the power of Bluetooth, you can stream your tunes!
