Question Can't find settings shortcut - Samsung Galaxy S22

I have an S22 with Android 13. Posts on the web say that if I swipe down twice to get to Settings, there should be an "edit" button in the bottom left corner where the settings shortcuts can be set up. I have no "edit" button? What am I missing?
Thanks

It's in the upper right. After pulling down twice click the three dots (ellipse) and you will see edit buttons.

Many thanks for the pointer but I still don't see the settings shortcut view that allows the tiles or the other buttons that should appear at the bottom of the screen.
Thanks

Are you talking about rearranging the settings menu?

Not exactly. I have been looking at a number of Android 13 reviews that show one of the features as being a tile view for quick access to favourite settings. I get the normal settings view but can't find the tile view.

PA forcing menus to bottom/bottom ledt

So just wondering if it's possible to make all menus open in the bottom or bottom left corner. Example, when I press my menu key in Gmail the menu opens at the top right of the screen where it's hard to reach during one handed use. I'd like all my menus to open bottom left so I can use my phone with one hand. I've tried hybrid settings but both phone/phablet modes don't seem to change that behavior.
Thanks

Personally I have never seen a menu open anywhere else other than the top right, with a few rare exceptions. Hopefully someone else has more knowledge on this to help you.

Dragging Smart Select into Upper Text Box

I just got my note today and was excited to try out the smart select feature. Unfortunately, if you try and drop what you've selected into a text box on the top of the screen, the delete option gets in the way and doesn't allow you to finish dragging. Any work around for this?

What are you trying to do exactly and what app is that?

When you hover the Spen over the screen and click the button, smart select is one of the options. You can crop an area on the screen and it will do text recognition. It then produces a floating bubble that you can drag and drop into a text field; however, once you start dragging the floating bubble, the top of the screen becomes the place to drag and delete the bubble, just like dragging an icon to delete on your home screen. So, having the delete box on the top of the screen renders the feature useless for any text field on the top of the screen.

Ah I see.
I believe you are misunderstanding how to use the smart select feature.
That icon is not text, it is a collection of selections you took. To turn a selection into text there is a little T in the corner of the selection. (It can do fun things if your selection is phone numbers, addresses etc)
If I assume correctly you were trying to use smart select in place of highlighting copy and paste into a search bar.
If this is true then you can just highlight normally hold spen button drag across text you want and a bar with options will appear one of them is a search option that will auto search the selected text.
Some apps don't support spen highlight feature ex. firefox in which case you can highlight traditionally with a tap and hold spen(or finger) on screen and it will display the selection arrows for you to select, an options bar to do the same as above will appear.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't notice that little "T" after doing the smart select. Wish I was still able to drag it in, but the copy and paste thing works too.

Wallpaper that hiding the Notch

HI anyone have wall paper that can hide the notch in Galaxy A50
share the wallpaper please
Just install the Nacho Notch from play store. It works beautifully on our phone.
Thanks! DIdn't want to root my phone yet so I''m surprised there's an app that does this without root. Kind of got used to the notch though...going to see if I like this notchless look better
This app have good wallpapers: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paolo4c.wallpaper
To hide the notch in Galaxy A50,
Go to Settings.
Tap on Display.
Tap full Screen Apps
Now, three dots, and select "Advanced Options"
You will find “Hide camera cutout” option.
If you enable it, the notch will disappear.
If you want notch back, disable the “Hide camera cutout” option.

Split screen

Split screen on the Note 8 had a small toolbar. You could lock part of the screen, swap screens, etc. On the Note 10+ nothing. Anyone know how to activate toolbar or do we just wait for an upgrade!!!
Did you try Good Lock and MultiStar app within? it gives you more options to play with

Not sure if this will help..
Press the icon on your navigation bar for recent apps. By default it should be the bottom left corner button (mine looks like 3 vertical lines) .
Then when the app your looking for is displayed press the icon that appears at the top of the app. One of the options will be to open in split screen view, open in pop-up view
Yep, that's cool. Know that. Just need to know if there's a way to swap screens and snap text or images. At the moment nothing is fixed, so when I click on keyboard top text or images disappear, i.e. move up!

Question Samsung free page on swipe left.

Hi. How do you get rid of the free Samsung page when you swipe left from your homepage

Settings > Home Screen Settings > Add Media Page to Homescreen (turn off the toggle on the right, or tap the name of the page on the left to choose a different page - mine has a Samsung page as the other option). You can also get to the Home Screen Settings page by holding down on the home screen (like when adding widgets or pages or moving pages) and tapping the Settings icon (gear) on the bottom right.
Thank you.
