When it's time to buckle down and focus on the task at hand, you'll want to know how to set a Mode on your Galaxy S23. Introduced as part of Modes and Routines with Samsung's One UI 5 interface for Android 13, Modes can limit distractions like notifications and incoming calls, and they can even launch specific apps related to what you want to focus on. Best of all, Modes can launch automatically based on conditions that you set.
Modes and Routines got a refresh for the One UI 5.1 update that debuted with the Galaxy S23 release earlier this year, adding a new Theater mode among other changes. Enable Theater mode, and you can ensure that your Galaxy phone won't ruin your next trip to the movies by constantly buzzing with notifications. You can set up Theater mode to silence notifications and even dim the light emanating from your phone's screen so that it doesn't disturb the people around you.
