2. Combination of Home Screen and App Manager
Users who switch from iPhone to Android can be confused by the home screen and the App Manager. Now, Samsung Galaxy will combine the home screen and the App manager.

This is to some extent similar to the iOS system.
3. Easier App Management
In Samsung Galaxy S7, it is much easier to move any app on the desktop. On other Android phone, you need to tap and drag the app to other desktops if you want to move it. However, it is not so easy for some of you. Now the new feature allows you to move and arrange apps with ease.

Then select the app and hit Permissions. Toggle permissions on or off. You can enable or disable your location, for example. This can guarantee higher security.
6. Always On Display
