You probably might not know but this hidden feature might save ur battery as well as privacy. Its a must try for every samsung user including m30s.
Go into settings -> Scroll down all the way to developer options ->  Find quick setting developer tiles -> Enable sensors off feature.
Once that's done go into ur notification panel and check if it shows the button over there. If not click the three dots and click button order and you would find it over there. This features stops all the sensors of the device leaving the fingerprint so no app can use ur microphone,camera and other sensors of the device. This would help in ur privacy as well as save battery! Enable it while sleeping and it would help stop apps using ur sensors and camera while u r not using ur device!
If helped do hit the like button!😊

see tell me what is purpose of stop apps to use your camera and microphone at night or at sleeping time?
i don't think this is a wise choice for anyone, it may cause error in future.
not recommended, except by some Youtubers who make this kind of videos to gain views,and subscribers

why do u want to stop apps from acessing ur camera,microphone and other sensore?
To protect ur privacy. What if unknowingly u have given access to an app to use ur camera and microphone and it turns it on when u r sleeping and u have no clue abt it? This is when this feature comes into picture. Plus it helps save battery as there sensors are not being used by your phone. There you go...a solution to ur doubt. It wont cause problems coz u aint physically removing the hardware right. Just unauthorizing permission to use with knowledge

and you sure about that, apps using ur camera and microphone only when you sleep? and can get access only because you are sleeping?
and when you enable after wakeup then they will not use because you are wakeup?

i guess you get my point is
your phone camera or microphone uses apps not depends on your sleeping or wakeup time
if your really concerned about that then go to permission manager and check which app using your camera and is necessary for that apps?
if not then you need to deny access and if after deny not worked then you need to uninstall that apps
only while you sleeping turned of your sensor and think that it save your privacy and after waking up those app not get access because you are wakeup
just think this logic
