Good Evening Fellow Sammy's.

I have a problem where when I connect to Samsung Dex, the option to use my Smartphone as a Touchpad isn't appearing or seems to have been removed...
I find this feature very useful and would appreciate if anyone could assist me with the problem.
The notification to use Smartphone as Touchpad also doesn't appear in the Notification Panel.

Try soft reset and let me know.

To soft reset a Samsung Galaxy S23U, you can press and hold the Power and Volume down buttons simultaneously for more than 7 seconds. You'll feel the phone vibrate when it resets.
