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.

First of all, Samsung seems to have added a new ‘My Page’ section that helps users manage the Good Lock app’s settings.
