The middle child of the Galaxy S22 series is again the Plus variant which is bigger than the vanilla Galaxy S22.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Series: Quick settings Tips & Tricks
Add Smart Widgets
To add a Smart Widget:
- Long-tap on your home screen and select Widgets.
- Select Smart Widgets from the screen and choose one of the options.
Create Bixby routines
Though these are not new to the Galaxy S series, still if you do not try it yet then.
To find Bixby Routines:
- Open the SmartThings app.
- Tap the Automations icon at the bottom of the screen.
Cool Bixby Routines Examples
- If the Location is Home or connected to home Wi-Fi, then it keeps the phone unlocked.
- Turn off Wi-Fi automatically at a predefined location.
- Keep volumes low at night and automatically switch to the maximum in the morning.
- Add different sound profiles for work location.
- Play music when headphones are plugged in.
Galaxy S22 Accent color personalization
Here you can apply a color palette to some of the device icons, To do this follow the below steps:
- Long-tap on the home screen and choose Wallpaper and Style.
- Then, tap on the Color palette and select the color of your choice.
- Toggle the switch for Apply palette to app icons once you’re finished.
Re-arrangement of Quick settings panel
As the name indicate the quick settings icons provide you instant or quick access to the most commonly used features.
To do this:
- Open the Quick Settings menu and select the Plus icon.
- Long-press on the icon you want to transfer to the first row and drag it over.
- Continue this for the icons you want to move.
Select your Edge Panel
Though the Edge panel is not a new add-on in Galaxy S22 series, I mean we are using this since the Galaxy S6 Edge, but the latest version is the most enhanced one. So I suggest giving the Edge panel a try.
Track your device with Offline Finding
I found this as one of the most concerned or important features that Samsung could bring and as we know that
Samsung had a SmartThings app to find the lost device while they are connected to the network but what if when it disconnected from the network, Now there is a new feature to find the lost phone and it works similarly to a Bluetooth tracker. Samsung’s Offline Finding feature uses other nearby Samsung phones to detect your phone as a Samsung Galaxy SmartTag would.
Screen spam and scam callers
Scam call and SMS screening tools are built-in in Samsung S22 and they work really well.
To do this:
- Head to Settings, scroll down, and select Apps.
- Tap on choose Default Apps.
- Scroll down and tap into called ID & Spam.
- Select Phone.
Keep the Screen-On
It’s really annoying sometimes when there’s something to view and your mobile screen switches off, especially while reading e-books and during long text reading. Enable the ‘Keep Screen-On’ feature so you don’t have to suffer it further, This feature ensures that your screen remains on when you look at it.
To find the feature Go to – Advanced settings –> Motions and gestures.
Theme Customization
Through this feature, you can match your theme as it to your wallpaper, and the feature called ‘Material You’- extracts colors from your phone’s wallpaper and applies them across the device.
Customize your Searches
If you already tried searching for an app in S22 then it shows similar matching documents and photos. So if someone doesn’t want to opt for this they customize their search as well.
To do this:
- Head to the app drawer.
- Tap on the three-dot menu in the top-right corner to open Settings.
