Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: How to Manage and Use Speed Dial Feature in Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow

Speed dial is an old feature that you still can find in your Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and can be used to assign a contact to a speed dial number so you can easily call the contact simply by dialing the speed dial number. It'll save you more time because you don't have to dial complete phone number to call that contact.


How to manage the speed dial feature in the Phone app?
You can do so by using the following steps:

1. Open the Phone app.
2. Tap More at the top right and then select Speed dial.
   
   
3. To assign a contact to a speed dial number, do as follows:
   
   • Tap + Add contact next to the required speed dial number.
     
     
   • Select the required contact you want to assign to the selected speed dial number.
     
     
   • The selected contact has been assigned to the selected speed dial number.
     
     

     FYI, you can add up to 999 phone numbers to the speed dial list. For easier usage, you can place your most favourite or important contacts in the top 10 or in the special number to help you easily remember in which speed dial number the contact you want to call is assigned with and avoid you from calling a wrong contact when using the speed dial.

4. To remove a contact from the speed dial, do as follows:
   
   • If needed, tap or at the top of the list to find the required contact you want to remove from the speed dial.
   • Tap next to the required contact you want to remove.
     
     
   • The selected contact has been removed from the speed dial.
