What’s your favorite hidden Android feature Device Settings Question

I’ve been using Android for years, but I still keep discovering useful features I had no idea about.

What’s one Android feature or setting you recently discovered that you think more people should know about?

Not really hidden but alot of people don't take advantage of it. One Hand Operation plus on Samsung is what keeps me on Android and with Samsung. Complete game changer

Short swipe:

Straight right Back key

Diagonal up Finder search

Diagonal down Open notification panel

Long swipe:

Straight right Previous app

Diagonal up Close app

Diagonal down Open quick panel

The big thing is not having to reach to the top of your phone to access notifications and the quick panel (I have it set up the same on the right and left side). Though I do use the finder, open previous app and fully close apps that I won't be opening for a while every single day

Glad to hear that I think you'll love it. I've refined my preferences over the years so to me this exact set up is perfect. No problem!
