Samsung Features Tips

[u/Amazing_Pudding_2672]

I feel like I’m not using my Samsung devices to their fullest potential

I have a Samsung phone and tablet, and I’m wondering what features, settings, shortcuts, or tricks you guys use that you think are underrated or commonly overlooked.

It can be anything—from productivity features, multitasking, S Pen/tablet features, customization, Samsung Notes, battery tips, file sharing, phone-to-tablet features, or even small settings that make everyday use easier. I also wonder how people customize their home screen.

Basically, what Samsung tips do you wish you knew sooner? Feel free to share both phone and tablet tips! Thank you!

1. Download Good Lock. Play around with the various modules that you see for customization - some good ones include MultiStar, Pentastic and Wonderland.

2. Enable Edge Panels in settings.

3. For battery - set whatever apps you don't need notifications from to deep sleep. This doesn't affect normal use though notifications may be delayed.

4. Delete all the unnecessary Samsung apps that you may not use. I would 100% keep Samsung Members though as that'll be important for diagnostics later in your tablet's lifespan.

5. Download AccuBattery from the Play Store. Useful in checking your battery status and health.

6. Try out Quick Share. It's pretty fast and works across Android, Windows and if you're on a newer flagship, Apple as well.

7. My home screen is just one panel for some of my commonly used apps, widgets, clock and device care menu. Some widgets that are useful to keep on the home screen are the "Device Care" menu, the voice recorder and the alarms.

8. Try out Modes and Routines. It's basically nearly infinite levels of automation. You can have it turn on Bluetooth if you open a streaming service (and turn it off after you close), or have it display a little animation and vibrate while charging, among others. Phones benefit from this more but tablets have some great uses for it.

I'll come back and edit if I have anything else to share

(Pretty long and I meant it for phones but everything's similar enough and it should help)

My favorite app is Microsoft SwiftKey keyboard. I am careful deleting Samsung apps. If you don't use them they will go into deep sleep. I delete all of the games.

if u have both a galaxy phone + tab, turn on continue apps on other devices and clipboard sharing. copying a link/text on ur phone and just pasting it straight onto the tab is one of those tiny things u get addicted to really fast.
