Now, a new report by Android Police, citing information from Samsung’s Korean forum (via the renowned tipster OnLeaks), claims that the One Ui 7.0 update will release the Good Lock for all countries and regions around the world. Once the update comes out, the Good Lock app will be available on both Samsung’s Galaxy Store and Google Play Store.

Further, Samsung plans to redesign the Good Lock app with One Ui 7.0. Moreover, the company wants to make the app easier to use, especially for new users with little to no idea about it. First of all, Samsung seems to have added a new ‘My Page’ section that helps users manage the Good Lock app’s settings.
