8. Use SmartGlass To Navigate Various Exclusive Features
Mobile apps tend to fluctuate in usability depending on how much the phone needs to be constantly left on, but both the official PlayStation app and Microsoft's SmartGlass (one they've done a terrible job in promoting or showcasing) are actually very useful. It's free on both iOS and Android, and once you've tethered it to the console through the Settings menu, it'll let you trigger manual prompts to record video, track achievements, use the keyboard to enter text and browse the internet far faster and easier. Lastly, the app can be used in the background of every other function, so you don't need to worry about it 'cancelling' anything when hopping between more than one app or game at a time.
