Samsung Galaxy S7 - Hardware Key Actions

[Rob]

Most of the hardware key functionality is obvious on the Galaxy S7 but a couple you'll want to keep in mind:

• Tap and hold the Multi-Task Button to launch the split screen view.
• Tap and hold the Back Button to access additional options for the current screen

In their entirety:

• Power Button: Press and hold to turn the device on or off.
• Power Button: Press to turn on or lock the screen.
• Multi-Task Button: Tap to open the list of recent apps.
• Multi-Task Button: Tap and hold to launch the split screen view.
• Home Button: Press to turn on the screen while the screen is locked.
• Home Button: Press to return to the Home screen.
• Home Button: Press and hold to launch Google.
• Back Button: Tap to return to the previous screen.
• Back Button: Tap and hold to access additional options for the current screen.
• Volume Buttons: Press to adjust the device volume.
