7 Hidden Features Every Galaxy User Should Know
Hello Galaxy users! 🌟 Have you ever felt like you’re not using your Galaxy phone to its full potential? You might be surprised to find out that there are hidden features tucked away in your device—features that can boost productivity, improve your photos, and make your daily tasks much easier. In today’s post, we’re uncovering 7 lesser-known yet powerful features that every Galaxy user should know!
One-Handed Mode
Galaxy phones have big, beautiful displays—but that also means they can be tough to use with just one hand. One-Handed Mode is here to help. When activated, it shrinks the display size so you can reach everything easily with your thumb. You can enable it by going to Settings > Advanced features > One-handed mode. You can even customize how to trigger it—either by gesture or button shortcut.
This is perfect for those moments when you're multitasking, holding a coffee, or just too lazy to use both hands (we’ve all been there!).
Secure Folder
Need a private space for apps, photos, or files? Secure Folder is your secret vault within your Galaxy device. It uses Samsung Knox to encrypt your data, giving you peace of mind that your personal content is safe from prying eyes.
You can set it up via Settings > Security & privacy > Secure Folder. Once enabled, you can move files into it or even clone apps to use separate accounts. It’s ideal for work profiles, private albums, or anything else you want to keep hidden and secure.
Samsung DeX
Did you know your Galaxy device can double as a desktop computer? Samsung DeX lets you connect your phone or tablet to a monitor and use a PC-like interface. You can run multiple windows, drag and drop files, and even use your phone as a touchpad.
Connect via USB-C or wirelessly (if supported), then enable DeX from the notification panel. Whether you're presenting, working remotely, or just want more screen space—DeX turns your phone into a productivity powerhouse.
Call & Text on Other Devices
Left your phone in another room? No worries! With Call & Text on Other Devices, you can make and receive calls or texts from your tablet or other Galaxy devices that are logged in with the same Samsung account.
Just head to Settings > Connected devices and enable the feature on all devices. It’s a lifesaver when you’re charging your phone or working from your tablet.
Side Key Customization
That little power button on the side of your Galaxy? It can do more than just turn your screen off. With Side Key customization, you can assign it to launch any app, open Bixby, or quickly access your camera.
Go to Settings > Advanced features > Side key to set it up. Want to launch Spotify with a double press or open the camera in a flash? The choice is yours!
Bixby Routines
Bixby Routines are like having a personal assistant that automates your day. Based on triggers like location, time, or device state, your phone can perform a sequence of actions automatically.
Example: When you plug in your headphones, launch Spotify and reduce brightness. Or when you arrive at work, turn on Do Not Disturb and disable mobile data.
Enable this via Settings > Modes and Routines and start exploring the presets or build your own!
Hidden Camera Features
Your Galaxy camera app is packed with tools you might not have noticed. From Pro Video mode to Director’s View, there's more than just point-and-shoot.
Explore features like:
- Single Take: capture multiple shots and videos with one press
- Super Slow-mo: capture moments at 960fps
- Object Eraser: remove unwanted items from photos
Open your camera, tap on “More,” and experiment with all the hidden gems waiting for you.
