Custom Lock Screen Shortcuts
The lock screen is often the first thing you see when you use your Galaxy phone. By default, there are a couple of shortcuts: the phone and camera. You can change these to any apps you’d like. The shortcuts appear in the bottom left and right corners. You can drag the icon towards the centre of the screen to open the app even if the phone is still locked.

Hide Apps you don’t use
There are plenty of reasons you’d like to hide apps, photos, and other files on your Android device. Maybe you’ve got some pictures you’d prefer your mother doesn’t see when she borrows your phone. Perhaps you have some private documents that contain sensitive personal information. Maybe you have apps that aren’t child-friendly enough for your kids. Regardless of your reasons, Samsung allows you to hide Apps, and you can only unhide them for them to be seen.
Undo Typing with a Gesture
Did you know Samsung Galaxy phones have shortcuts? The default Samsung Keyboard has an undo gesture if you turn off swipe typing. In this context, “Undo” will remove the last few words you typed, not the individual characters. Simply swipe two fingers across the keyboard in either direction to undo or redo.
