For a long time, Samsung’s Good Lock has allowed users to deeply customise their OneUI experience on Galaxy smartphones. Until now, the feature, accessible via the Good Lock app, has been limited to certain regions and is only available through the Galaxy Store. However, with the release of OneUI 7 in 2025, Good Lock support is set to expand. The app will soon be available to users worldwide, and for the first time, it will be accessible on the Google Play Store.
Good Lock has been around for several years, offering users more control over their Samsung Galaxy devices. The app allows users to tweak various aspects of OneUI, including modifying the default Samsung launcher and adding support for running apps on the cover display of devices like the Galaxy Z Flip.
The news of Good Lock’s expansion comes as Samsung prepares to roll out OneUI 7, which is in beta for the Galaxy S24 series and is expected to roll out to the Galaxy S25 series upon its launch. For the first time, Good Lock will be available in all countries, making it accessible to a much wider audience.
Until now, users in regions where Good Lock wasn’t available had to find workarounds or rely on different methods, such as sideloading the app from third-party websites. Now, with its new global availability, more users will be able to take advantage of its features, such as customising the user interface, adjusting the layout of apps, and even adding widgets that weren’t previously possible. Additionally, the feature will no longer be restricted to the Galaxy Store; users will be able to download and update Good Lock directly from the Google Play Store.
Alongside the new distribution channels, Samsung is also redesigning the Good Lock app itself. The update will focus on improving the overall user interface, making it easier for users to find and manage their customisation options. A new “My Page” tab will be added, allowing users to better organise their settings and preferences. There will also be a filter feature that helps users find specific Good Lock apps more easily.
Although Good Lock has been around for a while, the upcoming update will introduce new changes to the way it works with OneUI 7. Some Good Lock apps that weren’t previously compatible with the system will be updated to work with the latest version of Samsung’s software, providing even more options for customisation.
