The side button on Samsung phones can be annoying. You press it, expecting the power-off menu, but instead, Bixby pops up like an uninvited guest. If that bugs you, don’t worry—you can fix it in a few taps.
Here’s how to set the side button to bring up the power-off menu:
- Open Settings on your phone.
- Scroll down and tap Advanced Features.
- Select Side Button.
- Under the Press and hold section, choose Power off menu.
That’s it! Now, when you press and hold the side button, you’ll see the power-off options instead of Bixby.
Why Customize the Side Button?
- Avoid Frustration: No more accidental Bixby launches.
- Quick Access: Shut down or restart your phone faster.
- Better Control: Make your phone work the way you want.
If you’re still dealing with Bixby popping up, there’s another way to turn off your phone:
- Button Combo: Press and hold the Side Button and Volume Down button together until the power menu appears.
- Quick Settings Panel: Swipe down twice from the top of your screen and tap the Power Icon in the top-right corner.
Think of this like rearranging furniture in your house. It’s a small change, but it makes everything feel more convenient.
Customizing your phone isn’t just about features—it’s about making life easier. With this tweak, you can skip the hassle and get straight to what matters.
