I barely think about changing settings on my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra<\/a> anymore. <\/p>\n

Most of the things I used to do manually, such as turning on power saving, changing sound settings, adjusting connectivity, or preparing my phone for driving, now happen automatically in the background.<\/p>\n

After I started building Routines around the way I actually use my phone, the feature became far more useful than I expected.<\/p>\n

The option is available under Settings > Modes and Routines > Routines menu. From here, tap + at the top and set conditions for the If and Then menus.<\/p>\n

7 repetitive tasks you can automate on Android<\/p>\n

My Android Auto routine<\/p>\n

My Galaxy gets ready to drive<\/p>\n

\"Samsung\"Samsung<\/p>\n

Android Auto<\/a> is one of the best examples of why I like Samsung Routines so much. <\/p>\n

I use Android Auto almost every day, and instead of manually changing a bunch of settings before every drive, I let my Galaxy handle them as soon as I connect to my car.<\/p>\n

I have a routine that kicks in automatically when Android Auto starts. It turns off Always On Display, switches the Performance profile to Light, enables Power saving, and disables fast charging.<\/p>\n

These are small changes, but together they reduce unnecessary battery drain and heat during longer drives, especially when I am using navigation, Gemini, and streaming music at the same time.<\/p>\n

The best part is that I don’t have to remember any of this.<\/p>\n

As soon as I disconnect from Android Auto, the routine ends and my normal settings come back automatically.<\/p>\n

My nighttime routine<\/p>\n

One tap shuts everything down<\/p>\n

\"Samsung\"Sleep<\/p>\n

My nighttime routine is a little different because I don’t want it to run automatically at a fixed hour.<\/p>\n

My schedule changes often, so I prefer triggering it manually from a Modes and Routines widget on my home screen.<\/p>\n

When I am ready to sleep, I tap it once, and my Galaxy takes care of everything else.<\/p>\n

The routine automatically turns off the AOD, disables both Wi-Fi and mobile data, enables DND, and switches on battery saving mode.<\/p>\n

I don’t need notifications, background syncing, and constant connectivity while I sleep, so shutting these down also helps keep overnight battery drain under control.<\/p>\n

I have added one more action that makes the routine feel complete: it sets an alarm for 9 AM the next morning.<\/p>\n

That means I don’t have to open the Clock app and check whether my alarm is enabled before going to bed.<\/p>\n

It has turned my bedtime phone setup into a single tap.<\/p>\n

Work routine<\/p>\n

My phone knows when I am working<\/p>\n

\"Samsung\"Work<\/p>\n

My work routine is built around cutting down on distractions as soon as I start working.<\/p>\n

I have it trigger when I connect to my office Wi-Fi, although you could just as easily tie it to a location or a specific time.<\/p>\n

After it kicks in, my phone switches to vibrate, lowers the media volume, and enables DND with exceptions for important contacts.<\/p>\n

I also use it to keep unnecessary interruptions from social apps under control during working hours.<\/p>\n

The idea isn’t to completely shut my phone off from the outside world.<\/p>\n

I still want calls and messages that matter. I just don’t want Instagram, Amazon, or Snapchat pulling my attention away.<\/p>\n

The moment I leave the network, everything goes back to normal.<\/p>\n

Home Wi-Fi routine<\/p>\n

Coming home changes everything<\/p>\n

\"Samsung\"Samsung<\/p>\n

I also have a simple routine tied to my home Wi-Fi network. When my Galaxy connects to it, I treat that as a signal that I am back in a more relaxed environment.<\/p>\n

I can turn off mobile data, increase the ringtone and media volume, disable power saving, and change my lock screen shortcuts to WhatsApp and Instagram.<\/p>\n

It sounds basic, but these are exactly the sort of tiny adjustments I used to make manually without even thinking about them.<\/p>\n

Headphones routine<\/p>\n

My audio setup fixes itself<\/p>\n

\"samsung\"add<\/p>\n

Connecting my headphones is another perfect trigger for a routine.<\/p>\n

When my Galaxy Buds<\/a> connect, Samsung automatically adjusts the media volume, enables Dolby Atmos, and even launches YouTube Music. <\/p>\n

I like this because my preferred audio setup differs from how I use the phone’s speakers.<\/p>\n

Instead of connecting my earbuds and then jumping through settings every time, the phone prepares everything for me.<\/p>\n

Reading routine<\/p>\n

Reading mode kicks in automatically<\/p>\n

\"Samsung\"Samsung<\/p>\n

I spend enough time reading long articles and documents on my phone that I created a routine specifically for it.<\/p>\n

When I open apps like Kindle, my Galaxy can automatically enable Eye Comfort Shield, lower the screen brightness, lock the orientation to portrait, and reduce interruptions.<\/p>\n

I find this useful at night, when a bright display or constant notifications can quickly become annoying.<\/p>\n

When I leave the app, everything returns to the way it was before.<\/p>\n

Small routines make a huge difference<\/p>\n

The best thing about Samsung Routines is that no signal automation needs to be complicated.<\/p>\n

My phone knows what I want it configured to do when I drive, work, read, listen to music, arrive home, or go to bed.<\/p>\n

I still control everything, but I no longer have to constantly manage it.<\/p>\n

Aside from these automation tricks, the One UI is packed with useful features<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I barely think about changing settings on my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra anymore.
