Is Samsung Good Lock app available in your country?
Samsung is giving continuous advancements to its Good Lock app, the recent example we saw at the SDC 2022. Well, there’s the biggest concern that is yet to be resolved—country-wise availability of the Good Lock customization application.

Well, a few months ago, our readers from Germany and UAE shared that the Good Lock app has appeared in Galaxy Store and they can now download and use it officially. Samsung reportedly tried to expand the availability of Good Lock but it’s not as same as Galaxy phones.

Samsung is the smartphone market leader with the highest shipments per quarter. The Galaxy devices are known for their stability, support and of course privacy, which China can’t assure. As the Galaxy phones reached every part of the planet, why is Samsung still keeping Good Lock limited?
South Korea is Samsung’s home ground, while the United States, United Kingdom and India are among the most important markets. These countries support the Good Lock app in addition to Australia, Canada, China, Hong Kong, New Zealand, and Singapore.
Meanwhile, the Good Lock is not widely available in the European, African, and Middle-Eastern regions where Samsung also sells Galaxy phones and other products. Is the Samsung Good Lock app available in your country, let us know through the poll linked below.

WhatsApp’s new Image Search feature coming soon
WhatsApp is releasing a new beta update for Android, which reveals that the company is developing a new feature that lets users search images on the web. The fresh beta update can be identified through version 2.24.21.31.
The Search images on the web feature of WhatsApp will allow users to check the authenticity of images they receive to make it easier to spot misleading or fake content.
When a user wants to search for an image, it will be uploaded to Google, which helps them find similar images or sources online to quickly get more information.
Notably, WhatsApp ensures privacy by not storing or processing these images. While the image is sent to Google for searching, it remains private and secure.
With this new feature, users will be able to use any image, whether sent by a friend or received in a forwarded message for search on the web to verify them online.
In addition to the image search, WhatsApp is also developing a feature to check links in frequently forwarded messages to verify their authenticity.
The image search feature is currently under development and will be available in a future update. Users can expect more information soon as WhatsApp continues to enhance its platform. Stay Tuned!

WhatsApp introduces call link feature to group and individual chats
WhatsApp for Android is rolling out a new beta update with version 2.24.21.29, which comes with a handy call link feature. This update makes it easier for users to start calls in both individual and group chats.
With this new feature, users can easily generate call links without needing to go to the Calls tab. The call link shortcut is now located in the chat attachment menu. Previously, creating call links was a bit complicated since users had to go to the Calls tab to generate them.
Now, to use the Call Links feature, simply tap the attachment icon while chatting. This makes starting a call faster and more convenient since you can do it right from your ongoing conversation.
Initially, the call link feature was only available for group chats, but now it works for individual chats as well. Many people might not have known they could create call links before, but this update makes it clear and easy to use.
This call link feature is currently available to some beta testers who have installed the latest version of WhatsApp from the Google Play Store. As the update continues to roll out, more users can expect to see this feature in the coming days.
