The Samsung Galaxy A25 5G is a feature-packed device, but some of its best tools are tucked away in the settings. Knowing these hidden features and essential tricks can significantly boost your phone’s performance, security, and especially manage its storage efficiently.
Here are 10 must-know tips and tricks for your Samsung A25.
Samsung Galaxy A25 10 Essential Tricks
1. Turbocharge Your Performance with Quick Optimization
This is your Samsung Galaxy A25 built-in digital clean-up crew. It’s a quick way to keep your phone running smoothly by clearing background memory and finding apps using excessive battery.
How to Find It: Go to Settings > Device care > Optimize now.

Tip: You can set up Auto optimization to run daily for hands-free maintenance.
2. Secure Your Secrets in the Secure Folder
For ultimate privacy, the Secure Folder creates a completely separate, encrypted space on your phone for private apps, photos, and files. It’s protected by a separate password or biometric lock, making it invisible to standard file explorers.

Keyword Focus: Data Security, Private Storage, Secure Vault
3. Customize the Side Key for Instant Access
By default, double-pressing the side button (Power/Lock button) opens the camera. You can change this to quickly launch any app you want—a perfect shortcut for your most-used tool.
How to Find It: Go to Settings > Advanced features > Side button.

4. Master Multitasking with Multi-Window Gestures
The Samsung Galaxy A25 makes running two apps at once easy, which is great for productivity. You can launch Split Screen view with a simple gesture instead of fumbling through the Recents menu.

8. Clear Up Storage by Emptying Multiple Trash Bins
When you delete files or photos, they often sit in a “Recycle Bin” or “Trash” for 30 days, still using up storage. The Samsung Galaxy A25 has multiple trash locations (Gallery, My Files). Empty them regularly to free up space.
How to Find It (Gallery): Open Gallery > Tap the three-line menu > Trash > Empty.
How to Find It (My Files): Open My Files > Tap the three-dot menu > Recycle bin > Empty.

9. Use One-Handed Mode for Easy Reach
The Galaxy A25 has a large screen, which can be tough to navigate with one hand. Enable One-handed mode to shrink the entire display down to a more accessible size.
How to Find It: Go to Settings > Advanced features > One-handed mode. You can set it to activate with a gesture (swipe down on the center bottom of the screen) or a button tap.
Keyword Focus: Ergonomics, Accessibility, One-Handed Use
10. Hide Sensitive Apps from Prying Eyes
Beyond the Secure Folder, you can simply remove an app icon from the main App Drawer without uninstalling it. This is great for apps you use infrequently or wish to keep private.
How to Find It: Pinch the Home Screen or tap-hold an empty space > Settings > Hide apps on Home and Apps screens.
