Samsung Notes could get an easier way to move handwritten text

Samsung Notes keeps receiving new features with almost every major One UI release, and Samsung seems to be preparing a new tool that will make it easier to move handwritten text within a note.

A new feature called “Drag Handwriting” for the S Pen was recently discovered in the Samsung Notes app's code by NerdsChalk. Based on text strings associated with the feature, it allows you to drag handwritten text from one position to another. You can do this simply by pressing and holding the handwritten text you want to move and dragging it to your desired location.

Moving handwritten text or other elements in a note is already possible, but it requires using the Lasso tool. After selecting the Lasso tool, you must draw around an area and then drag the selected content. This process can be time-consuming if you frequently need to move text to free up space or realign your notes.

With the upcoming Drag Handwriting feature, changing the position or angle of handwritten text should be much faster. It will be especially helpful when trying to make room for extra text by bringing words closer together or reducing spacing between lines.

It remains unclear when this feature will officially launch. It is also possibleSamsung Notes is testing a new “Drag Handwriting” feature for the S Pen, allowing you to easily move handwritten text without using the Lasso tool. that Samsung is currently experimenting with Drag Handwriting and has not yet finalized plans for its public release.
