Here are 5 Things You Can Do with Your Galaxy S20
If you already have the Galaxy S20, you will discover that the things you can do with your phone are more than just 5-there's a lot of them. The ones below though, are worth-trying. Surely, you will discover more as you navigate through this phone trying the features below.
Have the 'gesture navigation' enabled
A Galaxy S20 owner claimed, since she tried the new 'gesture navigation' feature, there's no way he'd go back to the custom navigation keys. Enabling the feature is so simple: from 'Settings,' look for the option, 'navigation type,' and opt for the 'full-screen gestures.' If you find the 'hints' choice unnecessary, you may disable it.
Disable the unused apps on the phone by putting them to 'sleep' mode
The 'power saving protocols' of Samsung for One UI use a behavior known as the "sleeping" app. Some users though are not that fond of it. For them, this "sleep" mode is causing the apps used infrequently to have severely restricted ability for the background to run. The main idea here is that the users who are installing several apps they don't even use, and those particular apps, together, are creating an "incremental battery drain" a number of their check-ins, and their "background processes" that compromises their phone's quality, durability and longevity. This feature may be an advantage for you though if you are not that techie enough to use a smartphone.
Arrange the App Drawer in Alphabetical Order
Samsung is known for allowing its users to startlingly few icons on their homescreen grid. However, with phones, now as large as they are, there really is no reason not to maximize the homescreen. Simply look for an empty area on your homescreen and "long-tap" on that area; tap the homescreen settings, set both your app and home screen layouts to the largest "5X6 configuration" to allow for more than enough space for a lot more activities on your phone.
Have the Samsung Weather Notifications Disabled
If you are using the Google app, chances are, you are receiving weather notifications. If you are, you then, no longer need a secondary app, to send you a similar set of notifications just like how Google does. Just tap "settings", choose the "Weather" option, and disable or turn off all notifications for the Weather app. One thing for sure, it won't affect the weather widget on your homescreen. The needless and useless notifications about some information that you don't need as well are just prevented.
Turn Off Vibrations for "Smart Alert"
When the Smart alert is on, the phone vibrates every time the user picks it up for any new call or message that's coming in while the device is not in use. For many users of this smartphone, this is a bit bothersome. But if you a so busy and you tend to forget, or are not mindful of your phone all the time, this feature is for you. With the strong buzzing each time a new notification comes in, you definitely won't miss a single communication sent to you.
