Samsung How to Set Default Apps

On Samsung devices, a default app can be set for different types and changed over and over again. By default, pre-installed apps such as the Google Chrome Browser or the news app are set as default. If alternative apps are installed, they can also be set as default. These include

• Browser
• Call/Phone
• News
• Home screen (Launcher)
• Device Wizard

On most models, the default browser is set to "Samsung Internet", and when you open web pages, they are displayed with the Samsung Internet browser.

If you want to use Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari or other browsers alternatively, you can do so at any time. Usually, when you open the browser for the first time, you will be asked whether the browser should be set as default. If not, you can change the default browser at any time in the preferences.

the user interface is largely responsible for the appearance. on Samsung's devices, the One UI user interface is used. in addition to this start app (launcher), we can install many other launchers from the Play Store. in order for it to be displayed on the Samsung device, the desired start app must be set as the default.

The standard messaging app not good enough? Samsung leaves the choice of the standard messaging (SMS) app to its users.

Note: If a screen lock is set and the Samsung device is restarted, the messaging app will not load until the device is unlocked (applies to all apps except the pre-installed messaging app).

As with the Start, Browser and Messages app, the default app for Phone can be changed by installing any app designed for making phone calls.

Note: If a display lock is set up, alternative phone apps may not be able to run correctly.
