Hello. Thank you for the information. However, please be aware that the official Goodlock app is not compatible with our platform. It is functional in other regions. As a moderator, I believe this is an issue that should be addressed for us users.

The thing is that not all Galaxy users will be able to enjoy the Good Lock app on their phones because it is limited/restricted to certain countries/regions only, which I think you guys behind this post are aware of.

I wish I was able to download the Good Lock app along with the modules from the Galaxy store without relying on a third-party app on another app store or website. Anyway, it is what it is.

GoodLock is still region-blocked/geo-blocked for me on both the Samsung Store and Google Play Store. When will this be available for everyone?

👎🏻 Samsung has the bad habit of removing great features that their premium phones initially come out with. Unfortunately, another bad habit is that they later prohibit those phones from even running GoodLock and restoring some of those features.
So much for the extortionate price of their premium phones 💔

Samsung should open good lock for all regions. It does not make sense why some regions get it and others not. I understand that perhaps with 3rd party customization apps some regions/carriers would block it in order to play it safe with regards to "bricking" the phone, but this is officially samsung apps/software and have honestly never heard of a customization app being blocked. So... What gives?!? 🤷

Can you guys please just bring back the "Swipe From Bottom" gesture on the One Ul 6.1
And stop abusing us with Good Lock and whatever
Because this new update without "Swipe From Bottom" gesture is useless
I can't even use my phone the way i used to use it
#ItIsBoring😭🤦🏽‍♂️
#WewantSwipeFromBottomGesture Back✊🏾
