Welcome to State of Tech let's take a look at the advanced feature section on your
es 9 and s9 plus so go ahead and swipe down from the top of the screen tap on
the Settings you'll notice in the middle of the screen there's advanced features
now advanced features are a lot of different options that Samsung chooses
to put into their phone that you typically don't find on other features
of Android devices so we're gonna go ahead and go through this list I decided
to include this all in one video because there is a lot of features that Samsung
adds on some of them you'll find useful and some of them you might not find
useful at all so a smart stay we have the option of keeping our screen awake
as long as the device can detect that our eyes are looking at it so you can go
ahead and toggle that on or off using the toggle up at the top of the screen
or directly from the advanced features option here on the screen there is a one
handed mode so if you are using the s9 plus this is something that you might
find a little useful when trying to use your device one-handed so by turning
this on you can enable one-handed mode via a gesture a swipe up diagonally from
either bottom corner or we can tap the home button three times so I'm gonna go
and tap the home button three times and you see I now have one handed mode and I
can use the arrow at the bottom of the screen to either go to the left or right
of the screen depending upon which side you'd like it to show up on and notice
now I can use the phone just as I would but it's kind of one handed mode with
this screen all I have to do is tap the home button three more times and it
brings it back into full screen mode so you can choose to disable that or enable
that by the toggle switch over there down below the one-handed mode we have a
finger sensor gesture well this will allow us to do is swipe up or down on
the fingerprint sensor to open and close the notification panel and by default
this is turned off so if I turn that on all I have to do now is swipe down the
fingerprint sensor and it opens up my notification panel or swipe up to go
ahead and close it I can even choose to have it open up Samsung pay if I am
using Samsung pay with my fingerprint reader I have the option of quick
launching the camera which we've already gone over in another video by double
clicking on the power button that's gonna quickly launch my camera coming
back in there I can disable that by tapping that off or on then I can choose
my device assistant app by default this is Google assistant and you can see I
can tap on the Settings icon here and go ahead and change some of the settings
from my Google distant or I can tap on my device
assistant app either choose to use Google assistant or I can use the
Samsung internet app so if you want to switch it completely from Google
assistant you can do so and then there are some other settings here for my
assistant app I can choose to use a multi window application so if I tap on
there I can use the recent button so if I tap and hold on the recent button it
will actually enter a split screen view and I can choose from an apps list or
any one of the apps or and I multitasking tray now if you do a game
is tap and hold on that and it's gonna close it there is also a pop up view
action which we can see we can swipe from the top a left-hand corner when an
app is open and then open it into a pop up view and so I can enable or disable
these options here the multi window option then there is an option for smart
capture which this is on by default I find it really useful to capture a long
portions of screen so if you were going to settings menu or say a Twitter feed
or a Facebook feed and you wanted to capture everything on the screen you can
do so by using smart capture we can either swipe across the screen with our
palm or it will automatically detect it whenever we're taking a screenshot and
this one is on by default there is a palm swipe to capture which we just
mentioned in the smart capture option which we can swipe our palm across the
screen and it's gonna take a screenshot and again this one is also on by default
there is an option for direct call so if we're in our contacts list we can
actually go ahead and view a contact and then just raise our phone to our ear to
go ahead and call that contact this one is also on by default there is an option
here for smart alert which is on by default that once we bury our phone from
our desk as long as we put our phone facedown on the desk or table or
wherever other service it was the phone will vibrate if there are any
notifications that we missed while our phone was facedown there's an option for
easy mute which if we cover our phone with our hand or a palm while it's on a
desk or even a flip it over to where it's facedown it'll instantly mute any
notification or ringing that is happening on our device and again this
one is also on by default so down below easy mute there is an option just like
to call or send messages and we can see we can swipe a contact number right to
make a call and swipe it left to make a message when we're in the phone or
contacts list this one is also on by default now a
dual messenger allows us to have multiple installations of certain
applications so for example they have Facebook in here so if we wanted to have
two separate Facebook accounts we can have that happen here because it's going
to install Facebook twice on our device so all we have to do is toggle that on
and then go through a few different prompts to show up on the screen and
then we can have two separate installations of Facebook to sign in
just two separate accounts below the dual messenger we have send SOS messages
so we have to turn this on and then go ahead and agree to a disclaimer and then
we're going to need to set it up to send at least one SOS message we need to have
one recipient added and then we're gonna add it from our contacts list so go
ahead and go through all these prompts and then we'll be able to change some of
the settings for our SOS messages so you can see here on the screen I have send
messages to my dad and I can attach pictures by taking pictures from my rear
in front-facing camera and even attached an audio recording now the way that you
enable SOS messages is to quickly press the power button three times it's going
to send a quick alert to our emergency contact and then we are in an emergency
situation it will also attach the pictures and audio recording so you can
set that up with whatever contacts you want currently I have a set up to just
one contact but you can add multiple in there if you want to you and that is off
by default but you will need to come in here and set it up because you do not
have to have contacts in there for the SOS messages to work otherwise triple
clicking the power button when it's off will do nothing and it will not send any
sort of SOS message to anyone below that we have the option for direct share
direct share will show the contacts whenever we're in a share menu which we
can quickly tap on that contact and then share it directly with them without the
need to go through any sort of other menus or settings to get that show the
last four you are gonna be video enhancer which will enhance the image
quality of our videos we can see the apps that are available and if we turn
this on we'll kind of see a little preview of what they're trying to do on
the screen and we turn it off we can see it kind of goes back so this is your
option this one is off by default but when you do launch an application to
supports it for the first time it will prompt you to enable it and then the
last one that we have we have touch sensitivity if we are using a screen
protector on our device we're finding that our touches just aren't working the
way that we feel like they should be come in here and turn touch sensitivity
on and we'll increase the sensitivity of the
screen so help you use your device with the screen protector enabled but if
you're finding everything is okay just leave it off it is off by default so
these are all of the advanced features that are on your s 9 and s 9 plus if you
found this video useful be sure and give it a thumbs up for more videos like this
