When most Android devs hear Firebase, they think Crashlytics or Auth.
But in 2025, Firebase can do way more than catching crashes or logging users in.
Here are 3 underrated features that can instantly level up your Android app ๐
โ๏ธ 1. Remote Config
Change app behavior on the fly โ toggle features or update copy without releasing a new build.
Perfect for A/B testing, rollbacks, or quick hotfixes.
๐ก๏ธ 2. App Check (Play Integrity)
Protect your APIs from emulators, rooted devices, and bots.
SafetyNet is deprecated โ migrate to Play Integrity today.
โ๏ธ 3. Firestore Offline Cache
Deliver instant responses even with no network.
Data syncs automatically once the user is back online.
๐ก Each of these saves hours of dev time and makes your app smarter, faster, and safer.
