Best practices

Optimizing battery life

Use Dark theme to reduce battery consumption on OLED screens. The system theme option automatically switches based on time of day.

Managing privacy

Enable Safe Mode if you share your device with others or prefer not to see adult content in search results and recommendations.

Providing feedback

When reporting bugs, include specific steps to reproduce the issue and mention what you were trying to do. Screenshots are helpful but can be shared via other channels since the feedback form is text-only.
