Hi guys! My mom and I are matchy matchy with the Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 respectively, and I was wondering if any Fold users have any tips regarding customization. I wanna note that my mom's coming straight from longtime iPhone usage. Do you guys recommend any settings, apps you use or tools that might be useful for either function and style? Thanks! ๐Ÿฅฐ

Go to YouTube and look for "tips and tricks Galaxy z-fold 7". There are several YouTubers there that give excellent tips and advice!

Good Lock is Samsung's official app for customizing your device. In the app, there are various modules that can change virtually any aspect of your device.

There are also things you can do to ease the transition in muscle memory coming from your iPhone, like using navigation gestures instead of buttons and changing your phone answer gesture from swipe to tap. 1768058882325.jpg

Get Galaxy app suites like Goodlock and Good Gaurdians. Goodlock is where a Samsung becomes a Samsung. You can make your phone one of a kind with apps like HomeUp(extended OneUI homescreen custimazation), ThemePark (create and apply your own color pallete to anything in OneUI), KeysCafe (Lively keyboard customizations) NavStar (Provides customization and enhanced functionality to the navigation bar๏ผswipe gestures), Quickstar (Customize the quickpanel, notifications panel, and status bar) LockStar (Extended lockscreen customizatio), ClockFace (Create custom clocks for the lockscreen), and Wonderland (Create animated lockscreen themes).

On the hardware๏ผmaintenance side of things Goodlock offers Registar (Gain access to a few soft locked features, like backtap.), DisplayAssitant (many screen related options, like keeping your device awake permanently), Notistar (Provides a history of received notifications, even when cleared)

In terms of Good Gaurdians, you can find vast information on Battery Usage, Battery Health, Memory๏ผCache for more apps, CPU load and temperature, Boost app load times across the device, and File management๏ผprotection.

Personal Data Intelligence you may want to take a look at, and decide whether you'd like to opt in or out.

Other than that, I'd suggest taking a moment to scroll through the settings and find a balance of options that work for you.

Alt acc, one more thing id suggest that your Mother opts for Google Messages over Samsung Messages. This will make RCS texting possible. Similar to messaging on IOS, you'll see read receipts, send full quality images, etc.
