If you’ve been using Samsung devices for a while, you begin to see the small details that others may miss. One of these is the Assistant Menu—an accessibility tool that can change how you use your phone. It’s often thought to be just for those with mobility difficulties but people who know tech, like me, understand that it is great for getting things done faster and making things easier to use.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 has some cool UI updates, but the Assistant Menu is still a seriously useful, yet overlooked feature. If you like using your phone with one hand, need fast access to important stuff, or want to keep your phone’s buttons in good shape, you should turn this on.
Most guides just tell you to find it buried in the settings and switch it on. I’m going to show you how to turn on the Assistant Menu on your Samsung Galaxy S25, why it’s good, how to set it up, and how to use it like a pro for a better experience with your phone.
Enable Assistant Menu on Samsung Galaxy S25
Okay, so you know the Assistant Menu is more than just a simple tool. Let’s get started turning it on and making it work best for you. I will guide you through the steps closely, like a Samsung expert would. This way, you can be sure you are not just turning it on but setting it up for everyday use.
Step 1: Open the Settings App
Find the Settings app – it’s the gear icon in your app list. You can also swipe down from the top of your screen and tap the gear icon there.
Step 2: Find Accessibility Settings
Samsung groups its features nicely, so scroll down in Settings and tap Accessibility. Here, you will see some cool features for your Galaxy S25.
Step 3: Go to Interaction and Dexterity
In Accessibility, tap on Interaction and Dexterity. That’s where Samsung puts tools that make it easier to control your device.
Step 4: Turn On the Assistant Menu
Tap Assistant Menu and flip the switch to ON. A floating circle will pop up on your screen. That’s your shortcut center.
Step 5: Set Up the Assistant Menu for Best Use
Samsung gives you basic tools to start, but you can make it way better:
- Tap Select Assistant Menu Items to pick what goes in the menu. Want a quick way to take screenshots?
- Add it. Need volume controls? Put them in.
- Change the transparency if the menu bothers you.
- Change its size – make it big if you want easy touches, or small to keep it out of sight.
- Turn on cursor mode if you want more precise control on your phone.
Step 6: Try It Out
Before you close Settings, spend a minute testing the menu. Move it around, tap the shortcuts, and see how it fits into your day. If something feels wrong, change it.
That’s it – you just turned on a great feature on your Galaxy S25. Really make it yours by setting it up to work best for you. Play around with it and adjust it to your needs. The difference is that you can actually master it instead of activating a feature.
In short, the Assistant Menu on the Galaxy S25 is a great, simple tool that can change how you use your phone.
If you turned it on, you’ve got a floating button with quick access to important stuff, so you don’t have to reach across the screen all the time.
If you customized it, you now have a setup made just for you.
If you turned it off, no big deal. It’s all about setting up your phone in a way that works for you.
Maybe you like using gestures or Edge Panels better, which is why Samsung gives you lots of choices.
The Galaxy S25 can be set up just how you like it, and knowing about tools like the Assistant Menu is what makes you a pro. Use what you’ve learned to set up your phone to work for you, not the other way around.
