There is absolutely nothing wrong with the default apps in either Android Marshmallow or on the Galaxy S7. But part of the fun of owning a smartphone is the ability to tune it precisely to the way you live and want to use it. That’s where custom apps come in. If you want to change default apps on the Galaxy S7, here’s how to do it.
When you first start using the S7, you will be prompted as to what app you want to use to perform a certain task. While useful to begin with, it doesn’t offer much in terms of customization as you likely won’t have many apps installed yet. So when you have a few apps loaded, how to you make them defaults?
