We've compiled 20+ Galaxy S9 and S9+ tips and tricks that should make you the ultimate S9 pro!
We run through camera shortcuts, accessing new AR Emoji, deciding what to do with Bixby (plus some tips for it), snoozing and managing notifications, optimizing for battery usage with apps, getting into Samsung's array of sound settings, using one-handed mode, and getting that Pixel-style theme up and running.

First time Android user coming from iOS. I love my Galaxy S9+ and all of the customization available. Many of my friends using any Samsung phone recommend using a launcher such as Nova. However, I feel the Samsung UI has so much capabilities and coming from iOS I really enjoy all of the tips! Thanks! - Neil

Yes, that is true. People criticize Samsung UI but trust me it much better in looks as well as in performance (not optimum tbh), I think Samsung UI is most featured packed UI in any smartphone.

Here's another tip which I just found out myself. When you swipe right in your home button at the navigation bar and hold it, it brings up the recent apps and you can slide more to the right to go to your other recent or just do a quick swipe right and it will open up the most recent instead of double tapping the recent button

@AaronW-ww4ds 6 жыл бұрын

Because Samsung since the s6 because the screens curved it's so easy to crack it by dropping it which is why these phones need a shock proof case and phone screens are easy to scratch no matter what phone it is as most people don't put screen protectors on the phone and shove their phones in the same pocket or bag that they put their keys and loose change so it scratches the screen it's cosmetic wear and tear it'll happen either way

Regarding Special Access -> Optimize Battery Usage. You said to turn it to All Apps and then change what's needed. Well, there's a gazillion things listed there and now I wish I'd left this in whatever default state it was in and just scrolled through to find any that I might have needed turned on. How can I get this back to the way they were set when I got the phone? Thanks.
