Steps
Open Settings from the app drawer
Swipe up to open the app drawer and tap the Settings gear icon. The main Settings screen opens.

Tap Search in Settings
On the main Settings screen, tap the Search bar at the bottom. The search screen opens with the keyboard up.

Search for Default apps
Tap the search field and type Default apps. One result appears above the keyboard.

Tap the Choose default apps result
Under Results, tap Choose default apps, listed under Apps. The Apps screen opens.

Open Choose default apps
On the Apps screen, tap the Choose default apps card at the top. The Default apps list opens.

Tap Home app
In the Default apps list, find Home app, currently set to One UI Home, and tap it. The Default home app page opens.

Confirm the default launcher
On the Default home app page, One UI Home is the selected launcher, marked with the filled radio button. This is the default launcher setting.

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