Samsung Phone Tips: 10 Ways to Get More from Your Galaxy

Care for your battery. Protect your information. Discover useful Galaxy features.

These Samsung phone tips from Reilu PhoneFix help you look after your device and make everyday use easier. They suit many Galaxy smartphones released in the past five years, although features and menu names vary by model and software version.

If you cannot find a setting, try searching for its name within Settings.

1. 🔋 Turn On Battery Protection

Öppna Settings → Battery → Battery protection. On some models, Battery settings are inside Device care.

Battery protection manages charging to help reduce battery wear. Depending on your software, you may see options for limiting the maximum charge or adjusting charging around your sleep routine.

Choose an option that gives you enough power for the day. If your phone stops charging below 100%, check whether a charging limit is enabled before assuming something is wrong.

2. 🪫 Save Power Without Missing Important Notifications

Use Settings → Battery → Power saving when you need your charge to last longer.

You can also review Background usage limits to manage apps you rarely use. However, avoid putting messaging, reminder or other essential apps into Deep sleeping apps if you rely on their notifications. Deep sleeping restricts background activity and can prevent notifications until you open the app.

3. 🔍 Check Your Phone with Samsung Members

Öppna Samsung Members och leta efter Diagnostics → Phone diagnostics. Depending on the app version, diagnostics may appear under Support eller Discover.

Available tests can check functions such as the battery, touchscreen, speakers, microphone, cameras and charging.

These checks are useful when investigating a problem or checking your phone after a repair. Save any failed test results to help explain the issue to a technician.

4. 📦 Review Storage Before It Becomes Full

Öppna Settings → Device care → Storage, or search Settings for Storage.

Check which apps and files take up the most space. Review large videos, old downloads and apps you no longer use. Save important files elsewhere before deleting them.

Samsung’s built-in storage tools help you understand what needs attention without guessing which files are safe to remove.

5. ☁️ Back Up Important Data Regularly

Review your backup options under Settings → Accounts and backup.

Samsung Smart Switch can create a backup on a compatible computer or supported external storage. Cloud backup options are also available, depending on your accounts and device.

Check what each backup includes. Some app data, sign-ins and content need separate backup or recovery arrangements. Before a repair or phone replacement, confirm that your backup has finished successfully.

6. 📍 Set Up Samsung Find Before You Need It

Sign in to your Samsung account and check your device-finding settings. Search Settings for Find My Mobile and enable Allow this phone to be found, where available.

Samsung Find can help locate a missing Galaxy device and offers options to protect it remotely.

Set this up while the phone is still with you: required permissions cannot always be enabled after it goes missing.

7. 🛡️ Check That Auto Blocker Is Enabled

On supported devices, open Settings → Security and privacy → Auto Blocker.

Auto Blocker helps prevent app installations from unauthorised sources and blocks certain potentially harmful commands sent through USB connections.

Keep it enabled for everyday protection. Be cautious if an unexpected message or caller asks you to disable security settings or install an unfamiliar app.

8. 🔄 Update Both Your Phone and Your Apps

Kontrollera Settings → Software update → Download and install for available phone updates.

Remember to check both the Google Play Store and Galaxy Store for app updates. Samsung phones can receive apps and updates through both stores.

Enable automatic app updates if they suit your preferences, and maintain a recent backup before major software changes.

9. 🌙 Make Everyday Tasks Easier with Modes and Routines

On supported phones, open Settings → Modes and Routines.

You can create settings for activities such as sleeping, working or driving. For example, a Sleep mode can activate Do Not Disturb at your chosen time.

Review which calls and notifications you want to allow before enabling a mode. Start with one simple routine and check that it behaves as expected.

10. 🔧 Use Maintenance Mode Before a Repair

On supported devices, open Settings → Device care → Maintenance mode.

Maintenance Mode creates a separate environment for servicing, helping keep your personal photos, messages and accounts private while a technician checks the phone.

Make a backup first. Maintenance Mode protects access to your information, but a repair may still require a reset or replacement of components that store your data.
