One UI 3 Tip: Controlling side button of the Galaxy smartphone

Way back, with the launch of the One UI 3, Samsung came up with a bunch of premium software features that just changed the perspective of using smartphones.

However, we are not here to discuss those premium goodies as we already covered almost all the topics related to it. Meanwhile, we are here to tell you about a small feature that some of you might don’t know.

Meanwhile, the feature does not have a specific name but it can control a lot of things while using the power button.

In the past, Galaxy devices used to have a dedicated button for Bixby which is used to activate this infamous voice assistant.

However, Samsung thought that it was going to work like ‘Tony stark’s Jarvis’ or in simple words, the company markets that as a Samsung styled Google Assistant as it has some same functionalities that didn’t work out.

But now, the recent Galaxy smartphones offer a single side button that doubles as a power lock/unlocks key.

Meanwhile, users can also customize that key for other things also. For example, if you want to use that button as a quick launch shutter for the camera or for other things like when you press it, double-click it, and more. Here’s how are the steps for that.

Steps to control side button in the Galaxy smartphone:

  • Open the Settings app.
  • Scroll to Advanced Features.
  • Choose the Side key option.
  • Then, select the function you want the button to perform.
