Is there another way to restart the phone, other than pressing volume and start button? It lowers the volume or opens Bixby - which I cannot delete - it says to hold both buttons for more than 7 (?) seconds - but I can't get the function to work, without changing the volume multiple times, or getting Bixby multiple times - it takes a good minute or linger to finally get the restart function to show.

 
Most annoying - not a happy camper with all the issues the last update created.

Yay, I see it now - first picture. Going to the 2nd, I haven't seen that screen, though I did locate "side button"; I'll remember the name from now on.

I find side key, and first option is advanced; I don't see the screen your showing.

Do a search for Side Key in settings, click on the results ...see screen shot, then click on Side Key as shown in second screen shot. You should see the screen shot I showed earlier. Screenshot_20220216-165907_Settings Suggestions.jpgScreenshot_20220216-165918_Settings.jpg

Another easy way to find a setting, if you know what you're looking for

Open Settings app

Tap Search icon upper right

In this example, you could type
key

... or
Side

and scroll through the search list

My issue was that I didn't know what to call the side button, so I was finding everything else but how to access "that" button 🙄 my brains been frazzled with the multiple issues created with the last update/not the one that just came out, and trying to make things work properly again. I had had my phone set up where it was power off on side button, but the settings got changed 🙄 I couldn't remember how I'd found the setting in the first place...duh, user error; I hate when you can't find things anymore after updates. Thanks for the assist.

Pull down notification menu until you see the time, top right search is 1st icon, 2nd is restart and power off menu.

There's a button when you pull down the notification page down and you'll see a power button on the top and push that and you'll get three options to choose.
