Pair your old phone with your smart TV or smart lights using apps like 'Smart TV Remote' for TVs or 'Philips Hue' and 'Smart Life' for lights. Transform your old phone into a dedicated remote control for these devices.
Dedicated GPS Device
Install GPS apps like Google Maps or Waze on your old phone. After a factory reset and deleting unnecessary apps, set it up in your car on a reliable mount for easy navigation while driving.
Music Player
Free up space on your old phone by factory resetting it. Then, install your favorite music apps like Spotify, Gaana, or JioSaavn and download your favorite songs for offline listening.
Security Camera
Turn your old phone into a security camera by installing apps like 'Alfred', 'AtHome', or 'Manything'. Connect it to Wi-Fi, set up the app, and link it to your new phone. Place the old phone in a desired location for monitoring, such as near the entry door or in the living room, and watch live video feeds from anywhere.
Device for Kids
Factory reset your old phone and install parental control apps like 'Kids Place'. Additionally, download educational apps such as 'Khan Academy Kids', 'ABCmouse', or 'YouTube Kids'. Set time limits for children to ensure healthy device usage. Repurposing your old phone in these creative ways not only adds value to your gadgets but also contributes to sustainable living by reducing electronic waste.
