Tips & How-to

Stop cluttering your workflow with the Share menu: Did you know you can move files across apps using two fingers simultaneously?

With the Two-Handed Drag & Drop feature in One UI, your Galaxy phone lets you pick up photos, videos, and documents and move them directly into another app without relying on menus. Instead of tapping Share, scrolling through endless app lists, or copying and pasting, you can simply hold your content with one hand, navigate freely with the other, and drop it straight where it belongs.

How to use Two-Handed Drag & Drop

1. Open Gallery or My Files on your phone > Touch and hold the photo or document you want to move with one finger.
   
   

    

2. While keeping that finger pressed, use a finger on your other hand to swipe up to the Home screen or switch via Recent Apps.
   
   

    

3. Open your destination app (such as Samsung Notes, WhatsApp, or Email).
4. Navigate to your desired note, conversation, or compose screen.
   
   

    

5. Release your finger over the text box or document area to drop and insert your files instantly.

• Allows quick transfer of photos, videos, and files directly into chats, notes, or emails.
• Supports multi-selection by tapping additional items with your second hand while holding the first.
