Samsung One UI Have Hidden Instant App Function Shortcuts for Home Screen
Samsung’s One UI is a powerful package of convenient features. It also includes a hidden pop-up menu for application shortcuts, which users can access through a tap-and-hold command.
Samsung One UI Instant App Shortcut Feature
This pop-up menu helps you access certain functions quickly; for instance, you can hold any particular application shortcut, like Camera. From the pop-up menu, select if you want to launch the Camera application directly in selfie or portrait mode or start a video recording immediately.
You can turn app shortcut menus into permanent shortcuts on your home screen. This seems beneficial for apps that don’t offer direct access to frequently used features, such as starting specific tabs within Instagram directly instead of the Home tab.
The social media app Instagram is a perfect example of this. You must know that when you open Instagram, it always opens on the “Home” tab, and you can’t change this. But OneUI’s hidden feature lets you access any particular app function directly.
For instance, if you want to open a message tab within Instagram, you can create a custom shortcut for the message tab. You can also create an Instagram shortcut that always opens the app on the “Reel” tab. “Search” tab, or any particular tab that you use the most.
Noticeably, One UI’s hidden quick access shortcut feature is not compatible with each app, like Samsung Health and more.
Here’s how to create quick access shortcuts on Galaxy devices
- You can easily create quick-access shortcuts on Galaxy devices by just pressing and holding an application’s shortcut.
- Once you open the pop-up menu, tap and hold one of the app’s functions from the menu, then drag and drop it on the home screen or inside a folder to create a shortcut.
- Once you are done, you can place these apps’ function shortcuts on the home screen. You can also organize them in folders.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 will be the next leading devices for the foldable. To introduce these devices, the company will organize the Galaxy Unpacked event next week, each on July 10. To promote these devices, the company will provide several offers to grab the attention of more users. The free Galaxy Buds 3 bundle with any of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 or Flip 6 devices.
According to the X user @rquandt, Samsung is planning to give away its latest Galaxy Buds with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 smartphones.
If this report comes true, it will be the first time Samsung will bundle its wireless earbuds with any smartphone as a user. Earlier, the company applied the same offer to some Galaxy S series smartphones, but that offer was limited to some regions, which can now be revised and applied globally.
It is worth noticing that Tipster has claimed that Samsung will bundle the pro version of the Galaxy earbuds 3. It is expected that the company will apply the same strategy to all the countries. However, the offer may also be limited to early customers, and it may change after a bulk of unit sales.
For your information, several rumors appeared on the internet that claim that the devices will be equipped with significant long-lasting batteries with up to 6 hours of backup with ANC, and if you turn off the ANC, then you will get 1 hour more backup. Meanwhile, if we talk about the case, the base variant will give at least 24 hours of backup, while the pro version will give 30 hours of backup.

Earlier this year, Samsung debuted its premium Galaxy S24 series. Now it has already started to work on the forthcoming Galaxy S25 series, which is supposed to debut in 2025. This series will be beneficial for gaming purposes, as the report says.
Before any official announcement from the giant’s side, leaks and rumors have been blowing in the market for so long regarding the features and specs of the forthcoming Galaxy S25 series. It has already been reported that it could be based on its in-house chipset or maybe MediaTek chips. Let’s take a closer look at the rumors.
A new report suggests that at least some units of Galaxy S25 series devices will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. This processor will make it a gaming powerhouse. If the report from Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station reported by NotebookCheck is to be believed, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 has AI-powered frame generation technology.
Somewhere, it seems similar to AMD’s FSR and Nvidia’s DLSS. It is reported that the next-gen Snapdragon 8 Gen 4chipset will boast AI-powered frame-generation technology; the chip is powerful enough to run Genshin Impact at 1080p resolution and a 120fps frame than the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s 60fps limit.
AI-powered frame generation will not only deliver a seamless and smooth gaming experience but also bring higher input lag and graphics artifacts. It’s expected that Qualcomm will handle those issues with its upcoming flagship chip, which will be unveiled in October 2024.
The upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 features Qulacomm’s custom Oryon CPU cores and the Andreno 830 GPU, which is clocked at 935 MHz. It is reported that this chip is fabricated using TSMC’s 3nm process node and could be costlier than its predecessor.
