The Korean smartphone manufacturer Samsung has now released its Good Lock app to the public. This app allows the Android 10 OS of Galaxy smartphones (also from Samsung) to be customized to improve user experience.
This Good Lock version has some improvements incorporated into it, such as elements being re-arranged by the Lockstar plug-in to fit the background as well as the support provided for dark mode extending the entire system.
The Good Lock app, probably better known as Good Lock 2020, may be downloaded from the Google App Store though there may be some regions that do not have access to that.

Android 10 Features Jazz Up Samsung Smartphones
As Samsung smartphone users know, Android 10 itself has many features that are attractive to have and use. Here is a list of some of those wonderful features:
- Live Caption - allows audio messages, podcasts, and videos to be automatically captioned
- Smart Reply - will notify the smartphone user of possible replies and actions to a text message
- Sound Amplifier - permits audio to be heard more clearly with the use of headphones plugged into the Samsung smartphone
- Gesture Navigation - follows swipes and pulls by the user as legitimate commands
- Dark theme - initiates black background to help save battery power and provide a sharp contrast with the content on the smartphone screen
Android 10 reportedly has more features that keep the data privacy of Samsung users intact. For one, the privacy settings have been organized in one location to make these easy to find. For another, users may be able to choose how long certain data should be stored within the phone.
Disclosure of user location is also guarded so that prying eyes won't be able to find out. Features like these complement the Good Lock app and make owning a Samsung smartphone that much more appealing.
