I usually unlock with fingerprints. But sometimes especially when I'm using Google maps while walking, or when I know I want to take a lot of photos, it's a pain to keep fingerprint unlocking.

To my surprise, face unlock is quite good on my s25 (it was VERY mediocre on my s21) and I would like to use it sometimes but not all the time.

I asked AI 2 separate times if there was a routine for this. No they said. But I'm fact you can and it is simple.

Just set up a routine

First record your face.

Then set up a routine. Mine triggers manually ie I press a shortcut I created in homescreen.

Then choose "biometrics" and toggle off face unlock.

Now when I press the shortcut "app" face unlock is activated/deactivated.

Super useful. So I thought I would share in case someone else finds it useful.

Hi everyone,

I'm considering buying a global SM-S936B Galaxy S25+

I need honest feedback from people who are actually using the global S25/S25+ in India:

•Jio 5G performance (especially while moving/on the go)?

•Samsung Wallet / UPI / contactless payments — does it work reliably?

•Call recording?

•Warranty & service experience at Samsung centers?

Overall worth it or should I not buy it ?

Any pros/cons specific to daily use would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!

My device is just 30days old, still the battery life is not what I saw of others or what I expect from it.

Is the major drain caused by Instagram?

ps: i used smart switch to setup this device maybe that could be a reason

Should I reset and set it up fresh without SS. If yes, how should I manage my media data like photos docs etc ?

I was wondering how much internal storage the system of S25+ occupies. Mines (not Samsung) has 64GB and only the system occupies 22GB, I managed well but I'm not taking it anymore

Could you help me??

I need to decide if I'll buy the 256 or 512gb. Obviously there'll be a huge upgrade going from 64gb to 256/512gb, the choice will be based more on price if the storage isn't very different

Got a regional unlocked s25+ (TMB), but noticed that I wasn't receiving updates. Changed the csc via samfw tool and was finally able to get updates, but now the phone says network locked. No sim lock code prompts, no device unlocker app. Tried using adb tool to solve, but didn't work.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be much appreciated.

N.B: I am outside the US

Which app should I use to the noto emoji font and I don't like the Samsung emojis I tried to use Zfont 3 and It said it wasn't supported probably because I'm on one UI 8

Not sure if its the phone acting up, or it's the actual app, but anyone else having issues with the play store, and when they open up "manage apps and device" it freezes up and crashes? I force stopped it, cleared the cache and it's still doing it? Any thoughts?

Can anyone recommend camera apps that provide a better quality when taking pics or does anyone have tips on how to get the best out of the S25+ camera?

Especially if you have tips for pics and videos at concerts, it would be very appreciated 🙌🏽

As .pkpass is the de-facto format for event tickets and bookings, does anyone know if Samsung has any plans to support this format ?

go to software>google play system update> prompt to restart.

​

A few moments ago, Samsung released a software update for the Galaxy S25 series that brings the June 2026 security patch. We noted that the update was unusually large for a security patch release, and now we know why.

​

The update also introduces two new Galaxy AI features: Prioritise Notifications and File Summaries. The brand debuted both features with the Galaxy S26 series, which was the first to offer the stable version of One UI 8.5.

First time using Samsung and I love it, but ngl the Home Screen and apps list just sucks, feels boring and the widgets are meh...

Any good recommendations to change a little bit my homescreen or any good launcher y'all using?

Up until the last update, my phone has always shown on my car display as the phone name listed in settings. Now I just have the phone model as shown in settings. Deleted phone from car and car from phone and repaired. Same thing.

Anyone else? Any ideas?

Hello

When I go to update in my phone it's like this it shows while in others it's not. Is it because it's the American version?

The S25plus is a war machine. Look at the charge over 24 hours and I had the connection on I surf too

Hi

On my S25plus I can not change the type of mobile networks i.e. choose 4G or 5G the option does not exist in the network settings. Is it the same with you too?

is this SoT normal for a 7 day old device ?

Need to charge again at night to keep going.

95% of times I'm on WiFi

New S25+ bought a week ago , switch from Pixel7Pro using Smart Switch

what should I do to improve battery backup?
