How to type with one hand on Samsung devices. Samsung’s large-screen smartphones (such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 10) are fantastic for watching videos and multitasking. However, a large screen, a large keyboard, makes it very difficult to write with one hand.
Samsung has cleverly added an option on its larger phones that narrows the keyboard to a more manageable size for one-handed typing. Here’s how to use one-handed mode on larger Samsung devices that support it.
How to type with one hand on Samsung devices
You can reduce the screen size of your smartphone for easier one-handed use. To set up one-handed mode, do the following:
- Go to Settings > Advanced features.
- Select Movements and gestures.
- Touch the mode with one hand and activate it.
- Select Gesture (scroll up diagonally to activate) or Button (touch Home 3 times to activate).
- To change sides when using the one-handed mode, touch the arrow key to switch from left to right.
If one-handed mode on Samsung devices doesn’t work, try if it works in safe mode.
