1. Make Fingerprint Unlock More Reliable

Remotely and securely unlocking your device can be done through the fingerprint unlock more reliably by registering the same finger twice. That way, when the phone is scanning your finger, it’s more likely to recognize and match your fingerprint with at least one of the saved fingerprints—minimizing failed attempts.

2. Improve Call Quality

Before you make a phone call, a quick way to improve network consistency on your device is to turn on your airplane mode, wait for a few seconds, and turn it off again. This allows your phone to reconnect to the nearest cell tower for the strongest and most stable connection, ensuring you won’t lose signal in the middle of your call.

3. Schedule Messages on Google Messages

Unknown to many, you can schedule your messages on Google Messages to send at a particular date and time just like how you schedule your emails on Gmail. This is easier than creating a draft and waiting to send your message when the appropriate time arrives.

To do this, go to your desired conversation in Google Messages, write your message, and then long-press the Send button. You’ll see a pop-up window where you can set a schedule. Once done, tap the Send button.

4. Say “Cheese” to Take a Photo

If you’re trying to take a group selfie but your phone needs to be kept out of reach, you might choose to set a timer. To make this easier, Samsung phones allow you to take pictures by saying voice commands like “Cheese,” or “Smile.” Your phone will recognize your voice and snap a shot. To activate this, open the Camera app, go to Settings > Shooting methods and toggle on Voice commands.

5. Use the Floating Shutter Button

The floating Shutter button is another great camera feature on Samsung devices. Which adds an extra shutter button that you can freely move anywhere on your screen. This makes capturing shots a bit more comfortable since you don’t have to wiggle your hand and can instead place the shutter button wherever your thumb naturally rests on the screen.

To enable this, open the camera app, go to Settings > Shooting methods, and toggle on the Floating Shutter button. Once done, go back to the camera and drag the shutter button to reveal a second one, and place it wherever you like on the screen.

Some Android phones, including Samsung and Pixel devices, also let you use the volume keys as a shutter button, which can also prove easier in a lot of cases.

6. Use App Shortcuts

App shortcuts do exactly what their name suggests: allow a shortcut to specific features of an app, so you don’t have to go around finding them. On Google’s Home screen shortcuts to get a sense of how app shortcuts work. For example, you can set a shortcut to call someone, create a text note, view screenshots, scan QR codes, and more—all with a single tap.

To find app shortcuts, long-press on the icon for your desired app to open a small menu of shortcuts. Long-press a shortcut you like, drag it to an empty spot on your Home screen and drop it.

7. Hide Private Albums from the Gallery

The famous and best-used feature Samsung Gallery app is that it allows you to hide certain albums from the main page that may contain sensitive photos or videos. You can always un-hide them later when you wish to view them.

If you want extra protection, you can move an album (or individual photos and videos) to the Secure Folder app; viewing the content in it requires a password or biometric unlock. If you don’t have a Samsung phone, you can use the Locked Folder in Google Photos instead.

8. Add Words to Your Gboard Dictionary

An Android user who is very much interested to learn more languages or bilingual or multilingual open the Gboard app and go to Dictionary > Personal dictionary and select your preferred language. Next, tap the + icon and type the word you want to add.

As aware knows the struggle when your keyboard wrongly autocorrects something you wrote because it doesn’t recognize words from your native language.

Fortunately, you can improve your typing on Gboard by adding custom words to your personal dictionary. That way, the keyword will actually recognize the word and not autocorrect it to something else you didn’t mean to type.

9. Automate Your Phone With Routines

Bixby Routines or Modes and Routines feature on Samsung One UI are an automation tool that lets you perform various actions on your device at once without needing your input. You can use Modes and Routines to set routines for the morning, your daily commute, workouts, bedtime, and a lot more.

One can also use the built-in Routines feature in Google Assistant if you don’t have a Samsung phone. But frankly, Google Assistant Routines can’t compare to Modes and Routines.

10. Use the Hidden SOS Flashlight

I don’t wish that such an emergency condition came across but there is a way that we can go in the variation of activation. If you ever left without no means at a remote location with no signal and in need of help. You can draw the attention of potential rescuers by using the hidden SOS flashlight on Samsung phones.

It’s one of those features that’s reassuring to have but you hope you never have to use it.
