"In Photo and video editor, you can now easily draw certain shapes such as a circle, triangle, rectangle or heart by using the pen tool. Hold your finger on the screen when you finish drawing to make it instantly transform to straight lines and perfect angles"
Is there some special way to activate this? when I draw a circle and then hold down on it, it just draws a dot in the middle
There is no way that i know of to activate this,it should work automatically. open your gallery, choose your picture, click on the ✏️ to edit, click on the smiley face, draw and hold, works perfectly on my phone. You can also tap on the smiley > stickers > calendar and use the arrows and circles in there if you wish.

oh thank you! my mistake was that I was lifting my finger and then putting it down again to hold. We're supposed to hold in the same motion as the draw, without lifting

This works on my S21 but not on S22. On that one the photo editor isn't even listed as a separate app under Apps, but galaxy store shows it as installed. The app behaves as on S21 but the magic perfect circle triangle etc feature doesn't work in the Galaxy Photo Editor(when you click edit inside galaxy gallery). It works under notes though. How to fix this issue?
You need to hold your finger/pen on the screen when you stop drawing. Like, dont draw a line, lift your finger/pen, then touch the screen. Draw the line, then keep your finger/pen on the screen where you stopped, hold it there for an extra second or 3 and you'll see it snap.
