The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge have become incredibly popular devices and TouchWiz, the Samsung-exclusive UI has received significant additions for the two flagships. One of the many available customizations makes it possible to change lock screen app shortcuts on Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge.
There are only two app shortcuts available on the lock screen, but at least you have the option to customize them with apps you actually use.
By default, the shortcuts are set for the camera and phone dialer apps. These might be useful apps (for pretty much anyone) but perhaps for you, there might be another app pair that’s more important.
