ALARM, CLOCK APP,
I know that in the past were users that had problems finding the alarm in Clock App. You'll find it down at the bottom. Just swipe to the top the bottom arrow and everything will be there.
Other users said that would be nice if the Clock App would have a hand for seconds. Well... It has... It's that little red line at the edge of the gray disk, -

I would say: Long tap on any key with additional characters

True, but the additional characters on the comma and full stop are almost invisible compared to those on other keys. I thought at first they were specks of dirt on the screen.

Great Idea! It is vital to set goals first, like who is going to watch it, when, where, those things also essential for user journey—creating these kinds of assets highly impotent to the community and one of my priorities. Once you finish with the research, I can help turn it to good looking storyboard, then it would be much easier to convert it to a video or some kind of animation.
Good luck with the process, let me know how I can assist (I'm at GMT+3) @kaizennn on telegram

@AppLee Not practical, use this instead https://www.sketch.com/s/21be7a9a-e57a-4b82-b5e8-a2aac22c119c
Also, tell me what you need. I will provide more relevant stuff for your project

That is very nice, thanks. Better than snapshots IMHO
@C0n57an71n what do you think ? -
@AppLee I will have a look today when I'm in front of the laptop and see how user friendly it is. If manageable, then why not?

I have summarized (I hope all) here

Users of phones with physical buttons are able to launch the sidebar by tapping right button.

Depending on the definition of 'hidden featured' worth mentioning is the ability to use alternative launchers like Launcher Modular, opening a new world of organizing and customization apps, widgets, Newsfeeder, etc. at your fingertips

@3T_Ed I think we should stick to basic OS features.
Unconfined apps should not be addressed to new user (that's why I didn't include UT Tweak Tool). Apps that can break the system should not be promoted here -

Section Safety/Security/(non)tracking
Morph browser (standard browser) allows you to open in private modus by default (settings-privacy&permissions-tick 'open in privacy mode')In browser, tap bottom bar, this will allow you to open multiple windows (+add private tab), switch between them and have an overview of all open tabs at a glance
-
@CiberSheep Super! Thanks for the extra stuff that you added.

Thank you for those links which provide a lot of useful information. It's unfortunate that they seem to be buried somewhere in the blog pages, and even though I now know they are there I still can not find them if I start from the home page of the website. Perhaps the solution to the problem newcomers like me face in finding information is a redesign of the menu structure of the website.
-
@cliffcoggin Yeah, I'm still finding almost everyday new aspects, both about where you can find information and UT in itself.
Welcome to the club! -
KEYBOARD (OSK)
You can hide the keyboard by swiping it with a gesture downwards.

Morph browser: Instead of taping the three horizontal lines when changing category in the forum, from the middle of the screen swipe to the right to bring up the category tab, this works on other forums too. While logged in to the forum, from the middle of the screen swipe to the left to bring up the chats tab(speech bubble).
