If you’re like most people, you rely on your smartphone to take notes during meetings or classes. But what if you need to take notes on a Galaxy S22 Ultra? Here’s how to do it without losing your data. First, make sure that you have the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s Notes app open. Next, tap the three lines in the top-left corner of the screen. This will open up a menu where you can select “Notes.” Now, start taking notes by typing whatever you want into the text box at the bottom of the screen. You can also use handwriting recognition if you want. However, be sure to save your note before exiting the Notes app. Otherwise, your data will be lost when you exit the app! ..


There are plenty of software features baked into the Galaxy S22 Ultra for the S Pen. One of the best is the ability to instantly take notes on the screen simply by removing the pen. This works even if the display is off. Any time you pull out the S Pen, a notepad will open.

First, swipe down once from the top of the screen to open the Quick Settings and tap the gear icon.

Next, go to the “Advanced Features” section.

Find “S Pen” and select it.

Under the “Removal” section, select “When S Pen is Removed.”

You have three options here. “Open Air Command” will open a menu with a bunch of shortcuts to different tools, including the notepad. You can skip straight to the notepad by selecting “Create Note” here.

Now, when you remove the S Pen, you’ll be brought to a notepad screen. There are a couple of pen and color options at the top of the screen.

That’s all there is to it. This is a handy little trick if you find yourself using the S Pen to take notes a lot. Sometimes a fleeting thought needs to be written down as quickly as possible.
