Hi guys so I will be joining the family with an s23 variant at some point in the next week or so. I want to make the user experience feel smooth and optimised. What are some apps (anything from productivity to games) that you feel, are a must have on your phone ? Apps that have helped you throughout daily life. Thanks in advance!

    Install good lock, particularly one handed ui+. Other apps in it are great too. Also turn on dev options.

      Thanks I’ll give it a go, I know a simple Google search will remedy this but I just woke up so could you please explain what it is ?

        Samsungs ui is garbage out the box. Just bad. Go to galaxy store, install good lock. It’s an official app. Then go through and check out the different modules. One handed ui plus lets you set up all number of different swipe commands. Even if if it doesn’t do what you’re looking for it’s super convenient. I just swapped to s23u and was getting frustrated accidently hitting enter while texting. I installed keys café and made my own keyboard just how I wanted. Deleted period, swapped comma and enter, etc. I’m particular about how my phone looks so I installed theme park and changed all my icons and colors. Can really make your phone yours

        Dev options just gives you more flexibility. I think that’s where you get the option to turn off transition animations but not sure because i never use phone without dev options.

          I’ll download good lock then as soon as I do get the device. Oh wow that’s actually a pretty cool feature, I’m looking forward to the customization available. I especially want to customizer icons and stuff.

          I haven’t really been able to find much on this as of yet from a good review channel. Looking forward to it. Thank you for taking the time to type out that reply!

            My pleasure buddy. On youtube look for “first X# of things you must do with the s23” or similar. They will all cover the Goodlock basics. You can customize damned near anything if you poke around enough. Also, don’t sleep on routines and routines+ again through goodlock. Plenty of vids on that too under titles like “s23 hidden feature” or “most powerful samsung feature you don’t know about” or whatever
