How to use your smartphone to relax

Finding it hard to relax? Read about how you can use your phone to relieve stress.

Beat burnout

Sometimes things can get a little out of hand, whether it’s work, money or something else. Learn more about how your phone can help you find your zen and enjoy a bit of down time.

Music to your ears

Create a playlist with some feel-good favourites. Don’t worry if you’ve chucked in a few guilty pleasure tracks, nobody needs to hear what you're listening to. Plus, it’s a great opportunity to treat yourself to some new headphones. Want to go wireless? Check out our Apple AirPods compatible with Apple devices or our other wireless headphones for all bluetooth devices. And when it’s time to get your friends round for karaoke night you can get party-ready with our range of speakers, for immersive sounds you’ll all enjoy.

Play it your way

You work hard, so why not play even harder? There’s plenty of games you can download on your smartphone – just check out the app store. Whatever you’re into, you’ll find something that suits you. If you prefer completely switching off from your phone, there’s no better time to treat yourself to a new console. Getting your hands on a handheld one means you can play anytime, anywhere. Great for gaming alone when you want to zone out or going against friends when you’re feeling competitive.

Work it out

Get your daily dose of endorphins. While a smartwatch can track your activity levels, calories burnt, heart rate and more, it’s hard to know which one to pick. But with plenty of smartwatches and fitness trackers to choose from, you’ll be able to find the best one to suit your needs. Don’t worry If you don’t have a smartphone. If you know someone with an iPhone, you can link an Apple Watch to their phone so you can still track what you’re doing.
