Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, the fifth iteration of the flip smartphone from the South Korean conglomerate was launched recently at the Unpacked event. The device has already started attracting the attention of the audience thanks to one change – its outer screen is significantly larger than its predecessor.
However, by default, Samsung has decided to limit the number of apps that can run on this screen. Currently, the space is only reserved for apps like Samsung Messages, Google Messages, WhatsApp, Netflix, YouTube, Google Maps, and more. While it is great that Samsung is allowing third-party apps to run on the cover screen, wouldn’t it be much better if the list can be expanded?
Luckily, this is a possibility. There is a workaround that will allow you to get the job done. In this guide, you will get to know how to run any app on Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 Outer Display.
Steps to run any app on Samsun Galaxy Z Flip 5 Outer Display?
Here are the steps you need to follow if you want to run any app on your Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 outer display –
- First, you need to download and install Good Lock by heading over to Samsung Galaxy Store
- After that, launch Good Lock, look for MultiStar, and then open it
- Tap on “I Love Galaxy Foldable before enabling Launcher Widget
- This places a Good Lock widget in your device’s Flex Window
- Head over to MultiStar and then enable the app of your choice
- You can now launch that app from the cover screen
That’s it, you will now be able to run any apps on the outer display of your device. Remember, some of the app’s UI/UX might not be optimized for this form factor and this is one of the reasons why Samsung has limited the number of apps that you can run on the cover screen.
