The Galaxy smartphone's hidden accessibility menu offers customizable shortcut options accessible via button combinations or gestures. This menu includes features like screen curtain for privacy, mute all sounds, and high contrast fonts, allowing users to personalize their phone experience and gain quick access to specific functions.
Accessibility Menu Shortcuts
• 00:01:39 The accessibility menu provides various shortcut options that can be activated by button combinations or gestures, primarily focusing on the side and volume up/down buttons. Users can customize these shortcuts, assigning up to 21 different functions such as talkback, magnifier, and screen curtain.
Screen Curtain Feature
• 00:03:09 The screen curtain feature provides enhanced privacy by obscuring the screen and displaying the currently running app. It can be toggled via the shortcut menu or as a quick setting toggle. This feature ensures that others cannot see what you are doing on your phone.
Mute All Sounds Shortcut
• 00:05:07 The Galaxy phone's accessibility menu allows users to assign a button combination to mute all sounds as a workaround for the lack of a physical mute switch. This function can be activated by pressing the volume up and down buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
High Contrast Fonts
• 00:06:26 The high contrast fonts option, accessible through the accessibility menu, bolsters the font display for enhanced readability. It's a useful feature for individuals with vision problems or those who simply prefer a bolder font display.
Link to Windows
• 00:04:37 The Link to Windows feature, accessible through the accessibility menu, allows users to connect their Galaxy smartphone to their Windows PC. This is useful for seamless integration between devices and can be triggered as a shortcut with a custom button combination.
