SAMSUNG GALAXY S5 TIPS AND TRICKS

PRIVATE MODE

It's not unusual for phone users to worry about their privacy, so Samsung built a privacy feature for the Galaxy s5. Private mode allows you to hide documents, videos, pictures, etc, so that they are only accessible by entering a PIN code.

First, enable the feature in Settings > PERSONALIZATION then create a PIN. You’ll see that the mode has been activated in the notifications bar. Now, go to your gallery app, for example, and long press on the pictures you want to keep private.

One handed operation 

Small-handed folk might find using the 142 x 72.5 mm Galaxy s5 one-handed difficult. Luckily, Samsung has a feature that's designed to help. It's called one-handed operation mode. It reduces the size of the screen you're using, so you can reach everything within it with just your thumb.

To enable this feature, go to Settings > Sound and display > One-handed operation. Once it's enabled, you can trigger it by swiping your thumb in and out of the sides of the screen. It includes quick access to certain apps on the bottom and side of the minimisation WINDOW; you can also adjust their size by pulling on the outer corner of the screen.
