Throughout the day there are countless times that we turn on the screen of our phone to observe it. Something that we can do manually, or with a simple gesture. For this we will need to access the One UI settings, where we will find an alternative to turn on the screen of your Samsung .
Virtually all manufacturers already offer alternatives to turn on the screen of their phones, based mainly on gestures and actions in which you do not need to touch buttons, but simply pick up the terminal, making it even easier to turn on the screen.
Turn on the screen just by picking up the phone
That is one of the options that One UI offers us , to turn on the phone screen with a simple gesture. This is basically the ” Raise to wake ” gesture that lets you turn on the screen when we pick up the Samsung phone. Therefore, in that gesture in which we take the terminal and bring it closer to use it, the screen automatically turns on.
We also have another way to turn on the screen on demand, without having to press the power button. And it is by pressing twice on the screen . When we give two taps, we will see how the screen turns on. This way we can proactively access the terminal without having to touch buttons. In addition, of course, to facial identification methods, which can give us access to the phone and therefore to the screen without doing anything.
How are these gestures activated?
Well, it is very simple, since it is something for which One UI comes very well prepared. In fact, it has a specific area for gestures and movements, among which are these that allow you to easily turn on the screen. You must do the following on your Samsung mobile:
- Enter the One UI settings
- Select “Advanced Features”
- Click on the “Movements and gestures” menu
Here we have several gestures, but basically we are interested in activating two of them. One is ” Raise to activate ” which turns on the screen when we pick up the phone. And the other is the ” Press twice to activate ” which allows you to turn on the screen when you press it twice. So you will have two new alternatives to turn on the screen of your Samsung.
It will depend on you whether it is a method that you use regularly, or is simply anecdotal. But they are gestures that we usually get used to easily, and that we miss when we change terminals. A good example of how well One UI has evolved.
