Take Notes on a Galaxy S22 Ultra Without Unlocking It

 

First, swipe down once from the top of the screen to open the Quick Settings and tap the gear icon.

Next, go to the “Advanced Features” section.

Find “S Pen” and select it.

Under the “Removal” section, select “When S Pen is Removed.”

You have three options here. “Open Air Command” will open a menu with a bunch of shortcuts to different tools, including the notepad. You can skip straight to the notepad by selecting “Create Note” here.

Now, when you remove the S Pen, you’ll be brought to a notepad screen. There are a couple of pen and color options at the top of the screen.

That’s all there is to it.
