If you've installed the app from the Galaxy Store, you can dive deeper into this feature in our article: Using Eraser tool with S Pen Button
If you’ve installed the app from Google Play and can’t access this feature, don’t worry! Simply ensure that Air Actions are enabled on your device. Here’s how:
- Make sure the S Pen is charged and paired with your device by placing it in the designated slot on the back of the tablet.
- You can check the connection by going to Settings > Advanced features > S Pen.
-
If you see the message "Disconnected - air actions are not available", tap on "Connect" button and attach your S pen to your device.
- Then, you should see the message "Connected", or "Docked" and then "Charging...".
- Make sure the S pen is fully charged by checking the battery percentage on screen. The S pen might not work properly when battery is low.
- Make sure Air actions is enabled. Go to Settings > Advanced features > S Pen > Disable and then Enable the "Air actions" button.
- Once you’re set up, a simple click on the S Pen button will switch to the Eraser tool, and clicking again will bring you back to your previous tool.
