The Samsung Galaxy mobile series has unquestionable quality in terms of hardware, but also at the software level. There is no doubt that the new One UI 5 version is a system full of possibilities that gives the devices of the South Korean brand a considerable plus and in this post we are going to review some of its most important functions.
Just take a look at the settings to realize that One UI hides many tricks inside, but there are some that remain more hidden than others. The objective of this publication is to reveal certain features of the Samsung system that are very useful for the user and make the most of the capabilities of your smartphone.
One UI works magic on your Samsung Galaxy
You can do practically everything with your Samsung Galaxy and it has multiple functions throughout its configuration. Here we leave you the 4 One UI 5 tricks that have caught our attention the most and that you should not take a second to try in the case of having the most recent update of the customization layer.
Create stickers in less than a minute
Stickers have gained enormous popularity since applications like WhatsApp allow you to share them with friends and the possibility of creating your own is a lot of fun. Apple has an AI that is in charge of doing the dirty work, but in One UI 5 we must be the ones who point to the subject of the image . To do this, all you have to do is the following:
- Open the gallery of your Samsung Galaxy.
- Select the photo you want to convert into a sticker.
- Tap the pencil icon and then the emoji symbol.
- Access the “Stickers” section and select the gallery icon in the bottom bar.
- Choose the image again and select the part of the image that you want to transform into a sticker.
Close background apps
Your Samsung Galaxy phone is consuming battery at all times , but there are some processes that involve a greater use of the remaining percentage of energy. One of the main triggers for this situation are applications that are carrying out activities in the background. This means that they are wasting resources despite not being used and One UI 5 has a quick way to kill them:
- Open the app manager by swiping up from the bottom of the home screen or tap the three lines button if you don’t use gesture navigation.
- In the upper left area, the system should notify you of background activities.
- Tap on this option and select “Stop”.
Move the camera shutter button at will
We are used to taking pictures with our mobile phones wherever we go, especially selfies when we go in a group. The main problem with this kind of image is that sometimes it is difficult for us to press the button to take the photo , but One UI 5 has a trick to make this mission much easier.
- Open the camera of your Samsung Galaxy.
- Access the settings through the cogwheel in the upper left corner.
- Enter the “Shooting Methods” section.
- Activate the “Floating Camera Button” box.
Choose a video as call background
We have always been able to select an image as a contact photo to recognize a person who is calling us. Now, with the arrival of One UI 5, there is also the possibility of setting a video as the call background. Be careful, because you can use the audio of the recording as the sound of the call. A fun feature and as easy to take advantage of as following these steps:
- Access the Samsung Galaxy gallery.
- Find the video in question.
- Tap on the three dots at the bottom right and choose “Set as wallpaper”.
- Next, choose the “Call background” option.
