What is Pocket Mode? And, What are its benefits?
Have you ever been in a situation where your phone called someone, even when you’ve touched the phone and haven’t asked for it? This is a common problem that happens when we put the phone in our pocket while moving. Not just the accidental calls, the phone might also send accidental messages to anyone.
To prevent this accidental dialing or messaging or any kind of accidental touch, OnePlus has implemented the Pocket Mode feature in their phones. What it does is that it automatically disables the touchscreen sensors when the phone is inside the pocket. This is a smart feature that can automatically turn on the ringtone, increase volume, and enable vibration so that you get notified upon receiving a call.
