Being the kind of person I am I browsed on my Android Phone settings to find something called "OTG"

I was intrigued so I looked it up:

On-The-Go service better known as OTG is a way to use multi-media devices like cameras or even Phones to act like a storage device, for example you could use your phone to export photos from your digital camera or or download a movie on to your digital camera.

 

What I wonder is weather OTG has any daily use application for any of you.

I'm looking forward to your replies.

It's basically the ability to connect USB devices to your phone,

For a example a game controller or USB drive.

You will need an adapter for it.
