One Hand Operation+ gets One UI 7 Beta support
Over the past year, Good Lock has increasingly become an integral part of the One UI experience. One Hand Operation+, the stand-alone Good Lock app helps to control your phone or tablet more easily with just one hand. Samsung is expected to release the stable One UI 7.0 update in February 2025. Ahead of this, Samsung is starting to update Good Lock apps with One UI 7 support. Now, One Hand Operation+ gets a new update, which adds support for One UI 7 beta.
Samsung has released a new update for the One Hand Operation+ app, which adds support for One UI 7 beta, Samsung’s latest software version based on Android 15. One Hand Operation+, the Good Lock app that is available more widely via the Galaxy Store, is getting a new update to version 7.3.19.0. It is available for Galaxy users who are testing the One UI 7 beta, and the update is around 8.16MB in size.
Along with One UI 7 support, Samsung has enhanced the overall performance and functionality of the One Hand Operation+ app to enhance user experience further. This update also supports the On/Off function through the Routine function, which helps to turn on or off specific features automatically, depending on the time or condition.
Moreover, this update also brings support for dual messenger execution, so you can now launch apps in dual mode directly from the Quick Launcher.

Users can install the latest update via Galaxy Store >> Menu option >> Updates or from the Good Lock app itself. Also, they can download it directly from the Galaxy Store app link mentioned here.
