because it doesn't affect battery or anything that much?

About Wi-Fi calling, does it mean I can be contacted even if the caller doesn't have the same Wi-Fi calling feature?

How to make an alarm or reminder that doesnt interrupt while gaming?

Hey there.

Sync is your device's feature in which it syncs/backups certain information like contacts, emails, photos, files, and messages with the cloud. If you're the one who wants to be updated with your emails for example, you can always turn it on for real time syncing (the moment an email arrives, you're notified with the application you're using), but take note that this will reduce battery life more compared to when it's turned off. You can just turn it off and then open this toggle when you need it if you want to save power.

About WiFi calling, it simply uses your WiFi connection to make calls instead of connecting to a cell tower. This means that even if you are on Airplane Mode or your signal is spotty but your WiFi has a good connection, you'll be able to instantly call and send messages to your contacts. Just take note that this still uses your load/not free. You can use this feature even if the one you're calling doesn't have this feature.

If your device supports Bixby Routines, you can set the Do Not Disturb feature so that whenever you're playing games, notifications won't bother you. Game Launcher also has a convenient feature for this too if I remember it correctly.

I hope this helps with your query!

About Sync: It is a feature where you can synchronise your contacts, personal info, notes and calendar etc. on your device to your any account, like on your samsung account...

Wifi calling is a feature where you can extend your calling capability of your device, like iMessages for phone calls (just like that). If you want to call someone else who doesn't have wifi calling, you can still call them...
