    Hai. The edge of all my games played on A50 seems to be cut out slightly. How do i change this?

      Is the cut out in the notch place? If yes, then hide the notch. Galaxy A50 have the option to hide notch for individual apps. Here is the video guide.

    Your front camera may have some hardware issues. Consider taking it to your provider and seeing about getting it replaced.

    I bought an A50 cellphone, and I was enjoying the gallery photo editing feature, specifically for “painting” over an existing photo. It had a selection of solid colors to choose from, and that suited me fine. Now, however, the color selection has changed to a different type. I miss the original selection, and want it back. How can I accomplish this?
