Explainer piece: Understanding Samsung Free
Samsung Free is a feature present on many Samsung devices that shows entertainment-related content on the home screen. This feature includes news articles, games, and apps. The aim of Samsung Free is for users to discover and try new content without having to search for it.
While Samsung Free may be helpful for some users, it can also be a nuisance for others. The feature can take up a significant amount of screen real estate and data usage. There are also concerns about privacy, as Samsung Free tracks user activity.
That said, Samsung Free does have some benefits. It allows users to access content they might not have found otherwise. It also provides a tailored experience based on user preferences.
Feature comparison: Samsung Free vs Similar Features
Samsung Free is not unique to Samsung devices. Apple has a similar feature called News, which is present on iPhones and iPads. The feature shows articles from different news outlets based on user preferences. However, unlike Samsung Free, News can be disabled altogether through the device’s settings.
Google also has a similar feature called Discover, which shows news articles and personalized content. Discover is accessible through the Google search bar or Google app. Discover can be turned on or off through the Google app settings.
If you prefer not to use Samsung Free, there are alternative options. You can either turn off Samsung Free through the device’s settings or use a third-party launcher to replace the home screen and disable Samsung Free altogether.
