Galaxy S22 Power-off menu lets you not only power off or reboot the phone but also enter emergency mode or lockdown mode.
This Galaxy S22 how-to guide explains what the Galaxy S22 Power-off menu is, two ways to access the Galaxy S22 Power-off menu, and how to add the lockdown button to the Galaxy S22 Power-off menu.
Traditionally, if you hold the Power button of the phone, you will get the Power-off menu so that you can choose to reboot or power off the phone.
This still works on Galaxy S22, by default, although Samsung used the Side key to replace the Power key since Galaxy S20.
Like other Android phones, Samsung also added the Emergency mode button and a shortcut to the Side key settings page to the Galaxy S22 Power-off menu.
Besides, you can also add the Lockdown mode option into the Galaxy S22 Power-off menu.
So, the Galaxy S22 Power-off menu has the following functions and features (as shown in the screenshot below):
Although you may not use the Galaxy S22 Power-off menu, most Galaxy owners will use it sooner or later.
Please note you can access the Power-off menu on the lock screen. But you need to unlock the phone to reboot or power off the phone.
After enabling the Galaxy S22 developer options, you can add the bug report shortcut in the Power-off menu.
There are two ways to access the Galaxy S22 Power-off menu.:
Method 2 always works. However, method 1 may not, depending on how you customize the Side key.
By default, you can hold the Side key (which is located on the right side of Galaxy S22, as shown in the Galaxy S22 layout) to access the Galaxy S22 Power-off menu.
As discussed in this guide, you can customize the long-press gesture of the Side key to either the Galaxy S22 Power-off menu (default) or Bixby in Galaxy S22 Settings — Advanced features — Side key — Press and hold.
If you get Bixby Voice after pressing and holding the Side key, it means you assigned the gesture to Bixby. You may assign it back to the Galaxy S22 Power-off menu.
