Get familiar with modes and routines. Routines automate a lot of processes seamlessly that would take multiple clicks to do when you need to do them (if you actually remember to do them). Modes are a quick way to set certain actions on an on demand basis if you don't need those actions to take place at a set time or place (although, they too, can be automated). They can even help you return actions that were taken away in an update.
Taking a screen shot is nearly impossible with the contortions you have to go through: palm swipe - no go because one invariably swipes to a new screen or doesn't get the hang of it to actually get the shot. Volume down + side button - awkward. Back tap - acceptable, but you have to get the exact right spot, also awkward. Button action routine - perfect.
Edit: I forgot the mention edge panels. Edge panels are a great way to add more shortcuts when you run out of space on your favorites bar or don't want to clutter your screen with a bunch of widgets (stacked or not).

I edit Reels while replying to messages at the same time. Just swipe up with two fingers → multitasking magic.

Smart Widgets Stack
I stack multiple widgets (Weather, Calendar, Reminders) on the same spot on my home screen. A quick swipe lets me see everything I need without cluttering my phone. Perfect for planning my day in seconds!
2 Bixby Routines for Power Saving
I set a routine that automatically turns on Dark Mode, Wi-Fi, and Do Not Disturb when I go to bed. My phone saves battery, I sleep without notifications, and wake up ready to go. Routines for work or workouts are super handy too!
3 Camera Quick Launch from Fingerprint Sensor
I double-press the fingerprint sensor to open the camera instantly-even from a locked screen. No more fumbling for the camera icon when a quick shot pops up. A lifesaver for pets, kids, or spontaneous moments!
