Why there is a need of Tasker Profiles for Android?

Do you hate how you lost all your mobile data just because you forgot to switch it with Wi-Fi last night? Or, how you plugged in your phone’s charger, but didn’t come back for hours to see how much charging was done, which led to overheating of the device? Well, these are two of those many instances which have happened to the best of us. But, what are we actually doing to not repeat these silly mistakes? Nothing! Sad, how we, despite being a smartphone generation, are yet to smarten up the ways we use modern gadgets.

Smartphones are so much in a palm-friendly size. It’s pretty amazing how much they can do automatically with the support of either in-built functions or right apps. Here, we’ll be sticking around the latter, and discuss ‘Tasker’.

Tasker, a paid app, serves as an entry point for Android automation. You can simply set up a series of action to trigger tasks on your smartphone, even when you’re not accessing your device to actually make them happen, or have forgotten to do so. They just happen automatically. Through this post, we aim to unveil best tasker profiles you need to try in 2022. This can dramatically change the way you interact with your Android device, we bet!

Know them all below.

1. Turning Wi-Fi On When Reaching Home

Generally if you reach home, you need to visit the Wi-Fi tab on your Android device to enable it. Because you have to save your mobile data that’s limited in usage. You may or may not remember to switch between your internet modes. This is why, an automated way of doing it is always welcoming. A tasker profile makes it possible for you. Look at the steps below to know how.

• To get started, enable the GPS on your smartphone, go near the Wi-Fi router (the place where the modem has been set up) and launch the tasker app.
• Having done that, you need to go to Location tab. A map will open and your exact location will be determined.

• Hit Back and name the location as Home or anything you feel like. Doing this, you’ll be through the initial settings.
• Now, create a new task by tapping on the option given next to home button, select your options from the pop-up window and turn the Wi-Fi on.

• This is how you prepare tasker to enable Wi-Fi as soon as you hit Home.
• To create the exit option, just long tap the first task, add Exit task, select Wi-Fi and turn it off.

2. Screen Rotation For Apps

Auto-rotation is nothing we don’t know already. This is basically to offer the ease of viewing while doing certain tasks on your device. But, this in-built auto-rotation feature doesn’t apply to all the apps you’re using. This is where a tasker profile for screen auto-rotation makes complete sense. You can set up the same by going through a series of steps.

• Go to your tasker profile and click + tab to create a new profile.
• Moving ahead, go to the Application tab, where you’ll be asked to select an app you want a different screen orientation for, as you flip between different modes.

• Now, go back to creating new task again, select Display option and set the Display Auto-Rotation to on.

3. Sleep Timer

We all are the compulsive phone checkers during our bedtimes. And when smartphones are so much more than just a calling device, we end up listening to songs, watching movies and a lot more. Many a time, we fall asleep without turning off the movies and songs on the play, which leaves our phone dead. By enabling sleep timer, a smartphone automatically goes into sleep mode once the timer strikes, saving you a life of your device’s battery. This is for those who cannot help but sleep during their night time with their smartphones.

• Head to the Tasker Timer option in the widgets section and drag the option to the Home Screen. You can access this widget from your phone’s display directly.
• The widget will be activated the moment you undertake any task that needs it. It will be automatically linked to it. Now, select the sleep timer and never wake up to a dead phone.

4. Battery Saving Mode

Remember all those times when your smartphone’s battery meter turned red. Before searching a place to hook your phone up to a charger, you turned on the battery saving mode. Just to prolong your device’s battery and save some minutes with your phone. Your tasker profile can automate this too, so that even when you don’t notice your device’s battery touching a low, the phone can automatically go into the battery saving mode.
