It's not exactly a hidden feature, but you'll find this device lacks the S Pen space like the Note series. The Galaxy S21 Ultra works with any S-Pen from the Galaxy Note or Galaxy Tab S series. You can choose the S21 Ultra case that includes the S Pen.
If you have an S Pen, to use it with the Ultra, all you need to do is touch its tip to the screen.

Once the pen touches the screen, the Air Command icon will appear on the screen, allowing you to take quick notes, take screenshots, and more.

Bubbles works similarly, but for more apps, like Google's Messages.
Samsung's Bubbles is called Smart pop-up view . However, you need to activate it to be able to use it.
Go to Settings > Notifications > Advanced settings > Floating notifications . Click the option you want to use. Both have quick on-screen animations that show you how they work. Try both Bubbles and Smart pop-ups to see which option you prefer.

Then whenever the phone is locked and AOD is activated, double tap the watch to see all your widgets.
When you're having trouble finding an app, contact, or file, swipe the screen from top to bottom to review the quick settings shortcut panel, then swipe down again to see the full Quick Settings panel . Tap the search icon at the top of the screen and type what you want to search for.
