Most of us think of our smartphones as passive tools. They wait for us to unlock them, for us to tap on something. But what if your phone acted like an attentive personal assistant that knew when you were at work to mute Facebook/Instagram or another social network, or when you got in the car to launch Spotify or another music streaming service and read out the news? This feature is called Modes and Routines, and it can literally change the way you use your smartphone.
Modes and routines work on a simple principle "If X happens, do Y"It's automation that was previously only handled by dedicated apps, but Samsung has wrapped it in a clear and elegant interface.
