Got your new #GalaxyS21 or #GalaxyS21 Ultra? Let's get you setup quickly to make the most of your new smartphone.



These set up changes will help you be more productive and faster with your phone.


Setup your Edge Panels:
Edge panels are the quickest way to do things you repeat often your phone. Depending on what you do, you could search for edge panels in the Galaxy Store and install them or use any of the pre-installed edge panels.


Setup Samsung Pay:
Samsung Pay can be used to make contactless payments using your credit card without actually ever carrying them physically. It only works with your biometrics, so its super safe and secure. With a simple tap, you can securely make transactions. You can even connect with your bank accounts, transfer money and make payments for regular billers such as utilities.


Setup Auto Call Recording
Depending on your region, your S21 phone migh allow you to record phone calls. However, you will need to set it up. So go into your phone dialer, then tap on the menu on the top right corner and go into settings. Then tap on 'Call record settings' and then turn on Auto -record calls. With this, you will be able to set whether you want to record calls from all numbers, specific phone numbers or just known phone numbers.
You can aaccess a list of all your recorded calls for playback or sharing with others.


Launch Apps Faster
If there are certain apps that you want to dedicatewdly allocate some part of your memory for launching them fast, you can do that.


Setup Always on Display to Show Always


Always on display, by default, is set to only appear for 10 seconds when you tap on it. However, I always set it to 'Show Always' so that I don't even need to tap on my phone's screen to make it visible. I want to be able to look at the date, time and the notifications that I have pending on my phone by glacing at any moment without having to touch it.


Clean up your App Drawer
Keeping your app drawer tidy and organized is important to ensure you find your apps quickly. Hiding apps that you don't need or don't use often, would be a stupidly simply technique to achieve a clean app drawer.


Secure Folder
You will need to activate and setup Secure folder before you can even see it and use it.


Focus Mode
Focus mode is like DND but in a context of something. Set up numerous Focus modes depending on what you're doing so you have access to the right apps at the right time and are not disturbed or troubled by notifications from apps that don't matter at that moment.


Notification Management

Notifications are an extremely important aspect of using your phone and it also can greatly impact your focus and attention. Managing it well, is key, to ensure that you are able to effectively use your phone without wasting too much time or getting too troubled.


Edge Lighting
Use edge lighting effects to get beautiful notifiations that light up your display.
