I met new Samsung One UI Popup app folder

Since the very beginning, Samsung phones comes with app folders, this feature continued with One UI but I recently met with a new app folder thanks to a Good Lock add-on.

Creating an app folder is simple, you need to drag and hold an app icon on another app icon until it overlaps. Then, release the hold to form a folder.

To access the app inside, you first need to open the folder and then tap on the app icon. The default app folder background overlay takes an entire screen, which feels outdated similar to stock Android.

Popup App Folder:

But there is a different approach and Good Lock allowed me to revamp the entire app folder with the new Popup Folder feature. After being enabled, the app folder will pop up with app icons inside a background shape. And this doesn’t block the entire screen.

This varies from the default app folder to provide fast interactions. Also, the corresponding popup and popout animations are also fluent, which looks good.

How to use:

If you want to use the popup app folder feature on your Samsung One UI device, open the Good Lock app, and select the “HomeUp” plugin. If the plugin is not installed, the app will ask you to download it from Galaxy Store.

Tap on Home Up and select “Folder”, now enable the slider right in front of the Popup folder. That’s it, you’ve now changed to the brand-new Samsung One UI app folder.

Customizations:

That’s not it, Popup folder lets you do more customizations and these are quite amazing tweaks to try. There’s font customization in white and black color. You can also change the background shape color or play with the sliders to manage background transparency and shape radius.

So, this is how I met the new Samsung One UI app folder, and it’s time for you to meet yours.
