During its SDC 2022 event yesterday, Samsung revealed that it has simplified the Bixby Routines feature on its smartphones so that more people can use it. The company is now calling it Modes, a part of the new Modes And Routines app. It is debuting with One UI 5.0 on Galaxy smartphones.

With Modes, the company has some pre-set routines, such as Driving, Exercise, and Relax, that you can activate with ease after answering some simple questions. Samsung says the Modes feature can help many people focus on what matters the most through simple automation. The Modes And Routines app is already live in One UI 5.0 on phones running the software's beta version.

The South Korean firm said it plans to bring the Modes And Routines app to more devices, including smartwatches and tablets, shortly. The feature will arrive on Galaxy Tab devices with the One UI 5.0 update. But the company didn't reveal which firmware or software version will bring the new feature to Galaxy Watches.

If you're using One UI 5.0 beta on your smartphone, have you used the Modes And Routines app? Let us know in the comments section below.
