How to use your smartphone as a bubble level
Have you ever tried to level a picture frame or some other object without the aid of a bubble level? If so, you know it can be quite difficult to get something completely level just by looking at it.
Well guess what? The smartphone you carry around with you 24/7 makes an excellent level, and you won’t even need to install an app.
If you have an iPhone simply open the Measure app and tap the word Level.
If you have an Android phone open the Google app and type the words bubble level into the search box. A handy bubble level will appear right there on the screen.
