Our mobiles are true pocket computers, and apps are the ones that take advantage of all that processing power. We have many ways to run apps, although most of them go through touching the screen. Today we propose one with which it will not be necessary, and you only need to press the function button of your Samsung .
There are always some apps that are more favorite for us than others, and we want to always have them at hand to be able to run them instantly, that is what the functionality that we tell you today helps us, and that it is very easy to activate.
Launch apps with a button
This function is not a novelty, far from it, and they have always existed for our mobiles, since it allows us to use a physical button to be able to run the apps on our mobile, without having to go through the screen. Normally to run an app we should unlock the screen with a biometric method, or press it to activate it. But in this case we can choose to have an app run by pressing the power button on our Samsung mobile. Well, for this, all we need to do is configure the function button in One UI , a function button that is basically the power button.
As you know, normally a long press on the power button opens the menu where we can turn off or restart the phone. Well, this time the activation of this functionality allows that by pressing the power button twice we can run the app we want. In this way you can run the app you want without having to touch the screen, or if your Samsung does not have a specific button for the camera, you can also open it in the same way. A classic function of any phone that could not be missing from your Samsung.
How to configure the app that you are going to open?
Well, it is very simple, since One UI has a specific function to configure this aspect of the phone. To do this, you must do the following on your Samsung terminal:
- Enter the settings of your Samsung mobile
- Open “Advanced Features”
- Select “Button Function”
- Click on “Open application”
Here we must choose from the list of installed apps which one will be executed when we double-press the power button. Once it is configured, with one press the screen will turn off or on , with two the app we have chosen will run and with a long press the phone’s on or off menu will be activated.
