Do you want to get the most out of your Samsung Galaxy A50? It is a powerful mobile with many functions that make it easy to interact with applications and get the most out of the device.
But this combination of features will not help you if you do not know the secret options of the configuration and some tricks that will simplify the management of the mobile. So to make your task easier, we have selected 10 tricks that you can apply on your Samsung Galaxy A50 and A50s.
How to hide private apps
If you want to lose sight of the apps you don't use or want to keep personal apps safe, you can hide them. It is a simple process that starts in Settings >> Home screen or just press the mobile screen in an empty area and select Screen Settings.
Either way will take you to the “Hide applications” option. Once you carry out that step, you will see that it shows you all the installed apps so that you can indicate which ones you want to hide.
When applying the changes, the applications will disappear at first glance and you will have to resort to the search engine to find the hidden apps section.
Block accidental touches
To avoid headaches when you carry your mobile in your pocket or purse, don't forget to apply this trick that allows you to block accidental interaction.
Go to Settings >> Display << Protection against accidental touches. If you activate this option, the mobile will not react to involuntary touches as happens when it rubs against other items or we take the mobile distracted.
Smart alert so you don't miss any calls
If you are distracted and never find out about missed calls or messages that arrive on your mobile when you do not have it at hand, you can try the "Smart Alert" function of Samsung Galaxy A50.
Go to Settings >> Advanced Features >> Motions and gestures >> Smart alert.
Once you activate this function, the device will vibrate every time you take it, indicating that you have some pending activity, such as missed calls.
Configure full screen apps
You may have already noticed that not all apps support full screen on the Samsung Galaxy A50 and 50s. It is not a problem of the device but has to do with the special characteristics of the screen resolution.
To see the compatible applications and adjust this dynamic you have to go to Settings >> Screen >> Full screen applications. The first option you will see is "Hide front camera", it has to be deactivated so that you can change the settings of each application and they work in full screen.
Go manually selecting each app and choose "Full screen"
Customize font and size
Want to change the font style for a personal touch? Or maybe you just want to change the font size if you have vision problems.
In either case, you can customize the size and style of letters that will appear on the screen from the Settings >> Screen section. Choose the option "Font size and style" and you will see some tools to customize details of the letter.
You will always have a preview available in real time to see the changes you are making.
Add contact information on the lock screen
One option that you will find on most Android phones is the ability to add personalized information to the lock screen. You can use this space to write your data in case you lose your mobile or the phone number of a contact in case of emergency.
Or any information that you consider relevant to be visible without having to unlock the device. To activate this option on your Samsung A50, you have to go to Settings >> Lock screen >> Contact information.
Enter the text, enter Done and that's it.
How to have two accounts of the same app
If you want to have two accounts for Facebook, WhatsApp or any other messaging app, you can do it with your Samsung Galaxy. To do this, you just have to activate Dual Messenger.
You just have to go to Settings >> Advanced Features >> Dual Messenger. Once you choose this option, it will show you all the messaging apps compatible with this function. Let's suppose you want to apply this dynamic with Facebook, so you look for it in the list of compatible apps and activate the switch.
You will see a notification asking you to install a secondary Facebook application. You install it and it will be ready to use this account independently and even with a group of separate contacts.
Suspend unused apps
If you like the multitasking style and you open many apps at the same time that you later forget to close, it will help you to apply this trick so that you do not consume your mobile battery.
Go to Settings >> Device care >> Battery and select the menu (of the three dots). There you will again find a Settings section that will take you to the option "Suspend applications without use.
When the mobile detects that you have not used the app for a certain period of time, it will close it so that it does not consume resources working in the background.
Faster and more accurate fingerprint reader
Although the fingerprint reader of the Samsung Galaxy A50 and A50s works well, it is not always as fluid as we wish. But there are a few tricks you can apply to make it fast and accurate.
To do this, you will need to register your fingerprints from scratch:
- From the "Add fingerprint" option, start the process again, registering the finger in different positions
- And register the fingerprint multiple times. An option that you will always have available since you can store a maximum of 3 fingerprints
Performing the registration process in this way will allow the Samsung to have more information when scanning your fingerprint and not present delays or errors.
Use a timer in applications
If you have set a goal to be more productive and control the time you spend in applications, you can configure this little help. This is an option available for all Android mobiles that have Digital Wellbeing functions, and that can be activated in a simple click.
Go to Settings >> Digital Wellbeing and open the application panel. And from there you can individually configure the time limit you want to spend in each application, 15 minutes, 1 hour, etc. When the time is up, a message will appear on the screen with the timer alert.
Simple tricks and small settings that will save you time and help you get the most out of your Samsung Galaxy.
