You can customize almost every aspect of your device in order to suit your needs, whether you want to change the font or design of your device, or how your device functions day to day. This is where Tasker comes in: it\u2019s an app that let\u2019s you \u2014 you guessed it \u2014 control tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What Exactly is Tasker?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tasker is an app that allows you to automate certain tasks on your device. It offers total automation capabilities, which means that you can automate any aspect of your phone. The app has a minimal and intuitive design, which makes the app easier to use for users at different experience levels. It is available for $2.99 in the Play store.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/new-updates-androids-notification-system\/\"><b>The New Updates to Android\u2019s Notification System<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>How to Use Tasker<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you begin using Tasker, you\u2019ll want a basic understanding of the various terms used in the app. This app focuses on the \u201cactions\u201d that need to happen in order to get your phone to a certain state. There are 200+ built-in actions. Some of these include media, alert, and display functions. A \u201ctask\u201d then refers to a collection of actions. Thus, a task will be performed according to the actions that you command. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Further, you\u2019ll need to set a task\u2019s \u201ccontext\u201d in order to get the task to perform in the desired manner. Other terms you\u2019ll need to know include: \u201cprofile\u201d (a collection of contexts and tasks), a \u201cvariable\u201d (this refers to \u201cstates\u201d that will change over time), \u201cscene\u201d (a customized user interface), and \u201cproject\u201d (a collection of profiles, variables, tasks, and scenes).<\/p>\n<p>The first time you open the app, you\u2019ll experience the app in a beginner\u2019s version. You\u2019ll see three tabs at the top of the page: Profiles, Tasks, and Scenes. You can switch to a more advanced mode in the app\u2019s preferences. In Tasker\u2019s preferences, you can also adjust other areas of the app, such as how the app displays itself.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may use Tasker for different reasons. You may want to use it to send reminder text messages to someone after you go to sleep, for example. Or maybe you want to tell your device to disconnect from the Wi-Fi at a certain hour, or to close certain apps when your battery is low. Whatever your reason is for using an automation app, Tasker is the app to use for performing all of your needs.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out what exactly Tasker is, and how to use it on your device<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":83,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-privacy"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
