Good to know

  1. Samsung calls the launcher the Home app: the Default home app page lists every installed launcher with the current one selected.
  2. On this phone only One UI Home is listed and selected, so the recording finds the setting without switching to another launcher.
  3. The same Default apps page also holds the defaults for browser, phone, SMS and wallet apps.
