Galaxy to Share: know its utility here [GTS]
Following the DropShip, RegiStar, and Camera Assistant, the South Korean firm Samsung has now launched a new service named Galaxy to Share (also known as GTS) to the bunch of its customizable applications, “Good Lock.” With its help, one will be able to share the personalized settings of numerous Good Lock applications with other Galaxy devices. Previously, we had yet to get any detailed information regarding this service, but now we are going to unwrap its features and utility in today’s article.
Like DropShip and RegiStar, Galaxy to Share will also support the device having One UI 5.0 and later versions. The settings made by this app can be shared by the DropShip application. It was the most demanded feature of Good Lock, which finally appeared with version 1.0.22.0 of it. Unlike the One Hand Operation+ application, GTS didn’t get an individual application and can be used through the Good Lock suite only. Now let’s take a look at how we can share or receive specific settings with its help.
How to Apply settings via GTS
- First, open “Good Lock”.
- Now go to the “Galaxy to Share option”.
- Two options will appear here- “My GTS and Recommended GTS”. Go to the “Recommended GTS” option.
- Now various preview settings recommended by this section will appear here. You will be able to set and download those by choosing amongst them.

If you click on the corresponding GTS, it will show how the settings are applied in each unit. It will also provide extended details about the units. After the completion of this setting application, you will get to see that it is applied exactly as the recommended GTS option has shown previously. Albeit, while unblocking, you have to unlock all of them again. And remember, because the option shows various recommended GTS, so you can apply it after taking a detailed look at them.
Know how to Share settings via GTS
- First, open “Good Lock”.
- Go to the “My GTS” section.
- Now press the +Add button appearing in the bottom right corner.
- If you click on an image to share, it will let you choose which part you want to share.
- Now it will show you the options for how to share. You need to choose them one by one and then move on to the next step.
- In the end, it will ask you to write a brief introduction before sharing.
- Afterward, you will now be able to share the selected.
Now let’s take a look at the applications that are supported by this Galaxy to Share application. At present, only Keys Cafe, Theme Park, LockStar, NavStar, MultiStar, QuickStar, ClockFace, Home Up, One Hand Operation+, and Sound Assistant modules and applications of Good Lock have got the support of GTS. However, Camera Assistant is missing from the list, but we can expect it in upcoming updates.
Google is gearing up to add an extra layer of parental control that can prevent a user from sending a message until they are approved.
The Google Messages app permits users to send and receive text and voice messages, photos, and videos. Now, to enhance users’ experiences, the brand is working on adding new support for powerful parental control that can offer extra security since it stops a person from sending a message without approval.
Google Messages has pretty much become the default messaging application on Android devices, and the RCS is the backbone behind this, so it’s quite widely used. That’s the reason why Google realizes the need to offer this parental control support to parents. It might come as good news that Messages appears to be adding new convenient support.
However, it is not officially clear yet that this support is coming to Google Messages. This report is being speculated on in Google Messages v20240416_00_RC01 and shared by PiunikaWeb. This support will be efficient in scenarios where parents block their children from sending messages until they are approved.
The unapproved conversations will have a message stating, “To send, ask your parent for approval.” Although at the moment it is not exactly clear yet how this functionality will work, it is expected that it could work on a per-contact basis and be controlled by the parent from Google’s existing Family Link application; this could cover both SMS and RCS messages.
Samsung has already started rolling out the Android 14-based One UI 6.1 update. Initially, the Galaxy S24 series came out of the box on One UI 6.1, then the 2023 Galaxy flagship received the update, and now 2022 Galaxy high-end devices are in the line. Now Samsung has confirmed that you can’t delete Secure Folder after One UI 6.1.
Samsung Secure Folder is a private, encrypted space available on Galaxy devices that stores images, videos, files, apps, and data, but despite this, it can’t get enough appreciation, and it is one of the most underrated features on Galaxy devices.
Now, after installing the latest One UI 6.1 update, it seems that some of the users can’t delete the Secure Folder application. This is being acknowledged by a Samsung representative who confirmed this issue on the Korean Community forum. The inability to delete Secure Folder was related to a “Google security policy” that was applied to One UI 6.1.
The issue only affects the Secure Folder app, which is running on 1.9.10.27. Apart from this, Samsung has also confirmed that this issue affected the devices that are running on One UI 6.1, including the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and the Galaxy Tab S9 series.
The giant noted that it plans to update the Secure Folder through the Galaxy Store so users will have the power to delete it again as per their preference. Although this issue isn’t a major one, Samsung will soon fix it. At the time, the brand has not revealed the exact timeline for the update, but it is expected to arrive in the coming week.
Samsung TV Plus is inspiring the Walt Disney brand as it is now gearing up to offer something on the Disney Plus platform similar to how Samsung TV Plus offers live channels on Galaxy devices.
Samsung never shies away from providing new convenient features or upgrades to enhance users’ experiences. Here’s the evidence: Samsung TV Plus offers free live channels on Samsung devices. Now Disney Plus is appearing to add always-on channels to its streaming platform. These channels would continuously show content, allowing users to jump in and watch without even having to choose a particular program.
If the reports are to be believed, the Walt Disney Company is setting up to deliver always-on channels in the Disney Plus application. It is expected that Disney would mainly show Star Wars and Marvel content on these channels; it might also offer Disney’s classic animated movies from Pixar on them.
However, you are only able to access these always-on channels if you have a paid subscription to the platform. Despite paid service, these channels will also show advertisements, the same as a traditional TV channel on a cable network or a DTH service. This will also offer the option to just start watching content instead of choosing what to watch, searching for it, and then playing the show.
At the moment, apart from the information mentioned above, there are no other details to come to know regarding exactly when Disney will roll out the new feature. However, it could happen in the next few months. It seems that lately, other streaming platforms, for instance, Amazon and Fox, have also started offering ad-supported channels.
