  • In this menu, we see an animation and description at the top, and a list of toggles below.
  • Direct call will automatically dial the number of the contact message conversation you’re currently looking at when you raise the phone to your ear.
  • Smart alert will make your Galaxy S6 Edge vibrate whenever you pick it up when you have a missed call or message.
  • Mute will silence phone calls and alarms if you either place your hand over the screen or flip the phone over.
