15 PS4 Hacks & Tricks You Probably Didn’t Know

#4 Use Your Smartphone

The Smartphone can be used as a tool for a wide assortment of attributes for the Sony PlayStation 4. However, one of the more useful tools that some players may look over is the ability to chat with friends. If you’re not one to mess with headsets or if your friend doesn’t have one to communicate with then you’ll be left with using the on-screen keyboard.

That is unless you have a smartphone. Typing out a sentence to a friend on the on-screen keyboard isn’t the most challenging thing in the world but it definitely takes a bit more time than texting. With a smartphone and the PlayStation App, you can connect the phone to your console.

When both devices are connected to the same wireless connection then you’ll be able to pair the phone to your PlayStation 4. Now messaging can be used through your smartphone keyboard which will make messages a breeze to send.

Additionally, the applications Sony offers will allow you to see new notifications, edit your profile and even allow you to browse the PS Store for new games to purchase.
