Galaxy S26 FE Restores 3 Hidden Camera Modes With Camera Assistant

3 articles · Updated · SamMobile - Samsung news · Sep 7

Summary

  • Three camera features—Night, Single Take and Dual Recording—can be added back as dedicated modes on the Galaxy S26 FE through Samsung’s Camera Assistant app.
  • One UI 8.5 introduced the change and One UI 9 keeps it: Night now appears as a low-light toggle in Photo mode, Dual Recording sits in Video quick controls, and Single Take is hidden by default.
  • Camera Assistant, available in the Galaxy Store, lets users place all three options back into the Camera app’s More section for direct access.
  • Night may be the most useful to restore because the dedicated mode stays available even in borderline low light, instead of waiting for the phone to trigger it automatically.
