Enabling access to basic apps on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is pretty straightforward. As with most features, you start out with the Settings app on your Galaxy Z Flip 6.
Setting Up Cover Screen Apps
To begin, follow these steps:
- Download and install the Good Lock app on your Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6.
- Open Good Lock and install the MultiStar module.
- Choose the I <3 Galaxy Foldable option under the MultiStar module.
- Select Launcher Widget under I <3 Galaxy Foldable.
- Choose which apps you'd like to add to your cover screen.
- Enable the Launcher Widget.
- Drag the Launcher Widget to place it wherever you want on your cover screen.
There’s so much you can do from the cover screen. While Samsung limits your cover screen usage to select apps, you can still customize it and get a lot done on your Z Flip 6. It’s no Motorola Razr Plus 2024 competitor, but it’s no amateur either.
Once you’ve put in the work and added widgets via Good Lock, your Galaxy Z Flip 6’s outer display is transformed into a secondary phone of sorts. You can add basic apps to it like your calendar, to-do lists, music players, or weather widgets. But then you can also turn things up by adding social media and messaging apps, video players, and even internet browsers.
Not all apps have been optimized for the Z Flip 6’s tiny 3.4-inch external display, so don’t expect a perfect result each time. Play around with the widgets and apps to find out what works best for you.
