Samsung also shared the reasoning behind discontinuing the Samsung Video Library. Despite garnering a significant following and receiving ample customer interest, the app’s discontinuation has been attributed to two primary factors. Firstly, the app struggled with low usage and activation rates, indicating a diminishing user base. Secondly, distinguishing Samsung Video Library from other similar apps became increasingly challenging, potentially causing confusion among users. As a result, Samsung has made the tough choice to cease the service while appreciating the support and affection of its dedicated customers.
The Samsung Video Library offers a versatile platform for users to effortlessly explore and enjoy video content. Featuring a clear and intuitive layout, this application streamlines the video-watching experience. When you opt to use Samsung Video Player to view your video clips, it promises a seamless and user-friendly interface, ensuring that your multimedia journey is both accessible and enjoyable. Whether you’re looking to browse or play video content, Samsung Video Library strives to deliver a convenient and satisfying experience for its users.
Over the years, Google has made several improvements to its most crucial application, the Google Play Store, and it constantly provides new utility features and improvements. Now, with the latest development, the company is working on a new capability to handle multiple application downloads.
According to the information, Google is looking to bring a new capability to download multiple applications together. Previously, when you tap on the install button of the applications, it starts downloading them one by one. When one application fully downloads, it starts downloading the second application.
However, it is worth noticing that the phenomenon of multiple downloading is limited to only two applications, meaning if you tap on more than three applications to download, it will start downloading two applications while the third one is still pending.
Additionally, the simultaneous download is limited to the new installs, but it will not apply to the update section. We hope that Google may expand the multiple downloads to update phenomenon and may increase the number of downloads together in the next developments.
As per the information, the new change has already started working on several devices, at least for the Android 14 installed devices with the latest version of the Play Store (40.6.31).
Good Lock plays a key role in providing a platform for all the customizing applications or plugins of the Galaxy devices. For information, it provides several types of plugins like NavStar, QuickStar, LockStar, Camera Assistant, and many more. With these plugins, users can perform several customizations for the smartphone UI, including navigation bars, lock screens, home screens, notifications, and many more. To manage these plugins more conveniently, the company has started rolling out the update for Good Lock.
Good Lock is receiving a new update, version 2.2.04.95. With the latest update, the company has introduced some new changes that will fix the phenomenon of installation and deletion of modules, so users can easily manage them according to their requirements.
Along with this, the changelog also says to bring some fixes for the security-related functionalities, so if you are also having some issues while using any of the functions of Good Lock or want to get some performance enhancements, then you should go for the latest Good Lock update.
If you want to install the latest version of Good Lock, you can check its availability from the Galaxy Store. If it is available, tap on the update button, but if it isn’t available, you can also sideload the application through some external sources.
