Samsung has released a new update for its Good Lock app after it launched the app in more countries around the world. Good Lock is an amazing app for Samsung phones that lets users change and customize how their phone looks and works.
Before, only people in a few countries could use it, but now it’s available to more users through the Google Play Store. After the global launch, many people noticed that some popular modules in the app were missing or not working.
Samsung quickly noticed the issue of missing modules in the app and has now fixed it to provide a smoother experience. The modules that are now back and working include Home Up, ClickFace, NotiStar, MultiStar, and Display Assistant (Beta).
Now, users of the eligible Galaxy devices can download these modules without any issue. They can now easily find and install modules to use new functions.
At the same time, Samsung has also removed three modules – Galaxy to Share, Dropship, and RegiStar. These were only meant for users in South Korea, and it looks like they were added to the global version by mistake. This means that these modules might not be released globally.
Even though those three are no longer available, most users will be happy to see the main modules working again. Samsung aims to give a better experience to users everywhere with these updates.
Samsung expanding Good Lock to more countries but it mirrors One UI 7 rollout
Samsung is planning to release a new update for its Good Lock app after some Galaxy users noticed a strange issue. The issue confused many users as it removed one of the important options.
Recently, after updating the Good Lock app, many users found that the Terrace menu was missing. Normally, there are three menus at the bottom of the app – Terrace, Plugins, and You. But after the update, Terrace disappeared for some people.
Many users were worried and wondered why the Terrace menu disappeared. A Samsung community moderator explained that this problem happens when the app has a problem connecting to the internet. If the network doesn’t work properly, the Terrace menu might not show up.
Moreover, the moderator mentioned that Samsung has already fixed this issue and will include the solution in the next update of the Good Lock app. So, users just need to wait a little for the update to arrive.
In the meantime, Samsung shared a quick tip that might help. If you see the Terrace menu is missing, try a quick fix. For that, close the Good Lock app completely (swipe it away from the recent apps screen) >> Open the app again. This might help the menu appear again.
Samsung is working hard to fix the problem with the new update. Once the new update is out, everything should go back to normal. Until then, try restarting the app.
Samsung could soon bring these two Good Lock modules globally
Samsung could soon release two useful Good Lock modules to more users around the world. These two modules are Galaxy To Share and Dropship. So far, these two Good Lock modules have only been available in South Korea, and the company is reportedly planning to expand them to Samsung devices globally.
Recently, some Galaxy users in other countries saw these features appear on their phones. On a Galaxy S24 Ultra running One UI 7 Beta 6 in India, both Galaxy to Share and Dropship showed up (via KeepUPwithOneUI) briefly in the Good Lock app before disappearing again.
Some users on older phones also saw them for a short time. It hints that Samsung may be working to make these two Good Lock modules available globally.
Notably, Galaxy to Share (GTS) lets users share their personalized phone settings, like themes, clocks, and home screen layouts, with other Galaxy devices. On the other hand, Dropship is a file-sharing tool. It allows you to send photos, videos, and files easily, even to people who don’t use a Samsung device.
Samsung hasn’t made any official announcement yet. We don’t know if this was just a test or a mistake, but it gives a strong hint that a global release may be coming soon. For now, we’ll have to wait and watch for future announcements from Samsung or the Good Lock team.
Samsung has just released a new update for the Keys Cafe app, which is available on devices running One UI 7. The new update arrives with version 1.7.0.12 for Samsung Key Cafe, which brings some useful fixes and new features to improve your experience with the app.
The new update fixes the issue with the Make Your Own Keyboard section. Now, you can design your keyboard the way you want, choosing your preferred layout and making typing even more comfortable without issue.
Moreover, the update addresses an issue with the Korea Moa Keyboard that stopped people from setting it up properly. This has now been fixed, so you can use it without any trouble.

Also, some users experienced problems with the flick gestures – the swipe actions for Up, Down, Left, and Right weren’t working correctly. Thankfully, these bugs have been resolved too with the latest update, making the app more responsive.
If you want to update to the latest version, you just need to go to the Galaxy Store, open the Menu option, and select Updates to download the new version. You can also get it directly from the Good Lock app.
This update improves both the functionality and usability of the Samsung Keys Cafe app. With these fixes and new features, your keyboard experience will be smoother and more fun. If you have a One UI 7 device, be sure to download the Samsung Keys Cafe 1.7.0.12 update and enjoy the new features.
Samsung Keys Cafe app receives One UI 7 support with enhanced features
Samsung has kicked off a new update for its Nice Shot module in the Good Lock app, which brings One UI 7 support. This update brings new features and makes the app work well with the latest software.
The fresh update makes Nice Shot fully compatible with One UI 7. This means users can use the app smoothly without any issues on the new software. It also shows that Samsung is keeping its apps up to date with its latest phone software.
Moreover, the new update adds the GTS (Galaxy To Share) support. This lets users share their settings from Good Lock with other Samsung Galaxy devices. So, if you set up your Nice Shot settings on one phone, you can quickly copy the same settings to another Galaxy device.
Samsung has also brought a small but helpful change to the color selection area. Now, when you choose a color, it will also show the name of the color as text. This makes it easier to know exactly which color you’re using.
Right now, the update has been spotted on Galaxy S25 Ultra phones running One UI 7. Samsung will roll it out to more devices soon, so keep an eye out for it.
To get the update, just go to the Galaxy Store, tap on Menu, then choose Updates. Or, you can open the Good Lock app and update it from there.
