8 Best Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 Tips and Tricks

Buying a new phone and reviewing its features can be an exciting process. However, in all of this, it’s important to not forget the role of tips and tricks that can help improve the experience of using your new phone. So if you’ve recently bought the Galaxy Z Flip6, don’t miss out on this list of the best Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 tips and tricks. Let’s get started.

1. Cross the Language Barrier With the Interpreter Tool

Galaxy AI is one of the major highlights of the Galaxy Z Flip6. It brings several advantages to the table, and the Interpreter tool is one of them. Using it, you can convert a live conversation into your preferred language. But before we go further, let us tell you that the interpretation is not always perfect. However, the good news is you get a rough gist of the conversation.

One advantage of this feature is that you do not need to type in the sentence or word and then wait for it to be translated. The translation happens in real-time, thus saving you time. Interestingly, you can also flip the screen, making it easier for the other person to read through the text.

To get started, open the Interpreter app and tap on the small arrow icon as shown below to download the language of your choice. Once done, tap on the mic icon and start speaking.

2. Become an Artist (No Kidding!)

Galaxy AI brings other niceties, such as the Sketch to Image tool. As suggestive of its name, you can sketch over an existing image and let Galaxy AI work its magic. Missing a tiara or balloons on birthday pictures? Worry not; the AI part can help bridge the gap.

To enable Sketch to AI, open a photo and tap on the AI icon (third icon from left). Draw on the image, tap on Generate, and wait a few seconds to see the magic unfold.

Interestingly, you can also experiment with Sketch to AI and add colors to your doodles. To start, you can doodle on Samsung Notes and then work your way through the AI settings.

3. Customize Cover Screen Widgets

Sure, the Cover Screen is one of the main highlights of Samsung Z Flip6. Hence, it makes sense to get the most out of it. You can start by ordering and adding the widgets you use more frequently. For example, you can add the Contact widget on the screen. This way, when you are on your earphones, you can call your favorites directly from the cover screen.

To customize the Cover Screen, go to Settings > Cover screen > Widgets, and select the app of your choice.

Once done, you can select the widgets and add them as per the layout.

4. Cover Screen Preview

Yes, the Z Flip6 comes with a selfie camera. However, why use the secondary camera when you can click selfies using the main camera? If your thoughts align with ours, the best thing to do is to use the Cover Screen Preview option.

Not only will you be able to use the primary cameras for your selfies, but also frame better shots. And since you have a wide-angle camera, you can always include more in your photos.

To enable it, open the camera app and tap the small square icon at the top-right corner. The camera preview will appear at the front. Now, all you need to do is click away.

5. Add Apps to the Cover Screen

Yes, the Galaxy Z Flip6’s cover screen is bigger than before, which means you can also use it as your primary screen when needed. By default, the phone lets you play with a few widgets, which can be quickly changed.

To do so, head to Settings > Advanced features > Labs > Allowed apps on cover screen. Next, toggle the switch for the apps you want on the cover screen.

Note that you can’t add just about any apps; the phone has a pre-selected list of apps like Google Maps, Messages, and Netflix.

6. Kick Out Third-Party Collage Apps

Want to upload a neat collage to Instagram but do not want to install an ad-laden collage app? Worry not; your new Z Flip6 has the answer for you. Using the built-in settings, you can create a cool new GIF, collage, or even a short movie. No kidding.

All you need to do is head over to your phone’s Gallery, select a few photos, and tap Create. Choose Collage and pick the frame that you want. That’s it!

7. Toggle Intelligent Optimization

By default, the Galaxy Z Flip6 has Intelligent Optimization enabled for photos. When enabled, clicking quick, consecutive photos may not always be possible since the system gets busy optimizing the photo. The higher the optimization level, the more time it may take.

So, if you are out and about and can do without minimum optimization in photos, head over to Camera > Settings > Intelligent Optimisation, and select Minimum.

8. Record Quick Videos

Last but not least, you can record quick videos. This is useful if you are in a hurry and do not want to swipe through the camera options.

Simply long-press the Shutter button, and the camera will switch to Video mode instantly. Just make sure not to lift up your thumb, or else the recording will stop.
