These types of things are all subjective so no one can tell you which one is the best for each function. You’ll be able to find alternatives to all of these Galaxy S7 default app functions within Google’s Play Store.

I will be going into more detail about this Phone Assistance app feature in a future tip, so if you can look forward to that if you are interested. By default, this will launch Google Now on Tap(at least on my Verizon wireless Galaxy S7), but we can change this to Cortana as well as other phone assistant apps. The last thing we can customize here is the ability to change the app that is launched when we press and hold down on the Home button. My custom launcher of choice is Nova Launcher, but there are dozens of other options in the Play Store and this one will be set to Samsung’s stock TouchWiz launcher by default. We then have the ability to change the default home screen(which is normally called the launcher). As usual, Samsung changes the names of Google’s features but having this feature in the app defaults section does make sense.

This feature is called App Links by Google, and it was introduced just last year in Android 6.0 Marshmallow. This goes the same for things like Reddit and even Android publication links too(if they have mobile apps for their website). For example, if you’re browsing the web and see a Twitter link, you can use this feature to tell the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge to only open up those links in the actual Twitter application. Then there is a Set as Default option and this is where you would choose what certain links open up in. Next up we have the ability to change the Messaging App and this can be changed to something like Google’s stock Messenger or even a carrier messaging app.

Then you have the Calling App, which is actually the contacts function(and not the dialer). At the top we have the Browser App option, and this will let you change the default browser from say Chrome to Firefox. Go ahead and tap on that and then you’ll be taken to a screen with a few different options to choose from. From here, you’ll see another option within this sub menu called Default Applications.

So, once you launch the Settings app, simply locate and then tap on the Applications option.
