I wish I knew about this hidden Samsung Galaxy camera feature earlier — here’s how to turn it on
How many times have you missed a smartphone photo because you just couldn’t reach the shutter button? If you’re anything like me, the answer will be: lots. Very often, when we’re using our phones to take photos at odd angles, it can be difficult to hit the big button and take the photo.
Given how big the best camera phones like the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra are getting these days, it’s understandable, as reaching the entire way across the screen is difficult unless you have huge hands.
Thankfully, Samsung have thought all about this, and have included a floating second shutter button to allow you to take photos from anywhere on the screen — you’ll never miss a photo again.
Unfortunately, however, in true smartphone manufacturer style, they’ve buried it within the cameras settings, meaning you’ll probably miss it unless you know where to look. Don’t worry though, this guide has you covered. Here is exactly how to enable the floating shutter button on Samsung Galaxy devices.

You’ll now see a second shutter button has appeared on the screen. Drag the floating shutter button around the screen to position it where you want. Tap the floating shutter button to take a photo. You can still use the original shutter button too.
I find it extremely useful to have the second shutter located directly opposite the original button — however I’m holding the phone, this seems to have me covered with a shutter button within easy access!
That’s all there is to it. May you never miss a photo op again.
