They are really useful and have been around for quite a while now. But even now, some users have not got the grasp of smartphones and still find it hard to navigate through a phone.
For this very purpose, Samsung Galaxy phones have a feature which makes it easier to use phones by making everything more accessible.
So if you are one of those who face difficulty in using a touch screen device, then this guide is for you.
WHAT IS EASY MODE ON SAMSUNG GALAXY PHONES?
As the name suggests, the Easy mode on Samsung Galaxy phones is a mode which allows users to have an easier and simpler experience of using their phones.
It is especially for those with weak eye sight and as we mentioned previously, for those who can not use a phone easily. This is done by tweaking the user interface and changing it from different aspects.
Firstly, everything is bigger. By this, I mean that the entire UI is made larger. The increase in size is effective all over the phone. This includes larger app icons, larger navigation buttons, larger text, larger keyboard and much more.
Secondly, Easy mode also has a separate home screen launcher. Along with the larger app icons, we also get to see a clear-cut button which takes you to the whole list of apps.
As shown in the image, the home screen is designed especially such that it makes it easier for users to contact people on their phone. This is done by adding shortcuts.
In order to avoid accidental actions, the touch and hold delay is made longer. It can also be customized in Settings.
Further, the keyboard, along with being larger also has high contrast theme switched on by default in the easy mode.
You can easily turn on the Easy mode on Samsung Galaxy phones from the settings app. All the features and tweaks we mentioned above contribute to a simpler interface for users who find it hard to use a touch screen device.
