Samsung’s foldable smartphones flaunt the best specs and state-of-the-art hardware. The newly launched Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is no different. After the changes Samsung made to the Flip 5’s cover display, the Flip 6 was always going to be a minimal upgrade but it is an important one. As far as compact folding phones go, the Flip 6 is certainly one of the best ones around. If you’re thinking of getting your hands on the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, here are the top 10 apps you should download on it.

CoverScreen OS
Download from Google Play Store
The CoverScreen OS app for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 unlocks what you can do with the smartphone’s cover display. While Samsung has increased the functionality of the cover display, the collection of apps it can run is still pretty limited. CoverScreen OS gets rid of this roadblock and lets you run any app you want on the compact screen. Just a heads up, this app may drain your phone’s battery faster than usual.
Good Lock
Samsung’s very own Good Lock app can also accomplish the same task as CoverScreen OS. Some may prefer Good Lock over CoverScreen OS as it is developed by Samsung and, as a result, is well-optimised for the Flip 6. The ‘MultiStar’ tool in the ‘Life Up’ section lets you place any apps you want on the cover screen. Other than that, you can use Good Lock for a range of customisation options.
Microsoft Outlook
Download from Google Play Store
Perfectly suited for the cover screen, Microsoft Outlook is one of the best apps you can download on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6. You can check emails and respond to them without opening your phone. This is perfect for when you’re on the go and juggling multiple tasks at once. Outlook also has an amazing app for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 that you should check out.
Google Keep
Download from Google Play Store
Taking a quick note or going through your shopping list is a very quick and seamless process on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6. Google Keep is the perfect app for this task as it allows you to view and edit your list from the cover display itself. This comes in quite handy when you’re going through the aisles in the grocery store and simply want to glance at your shopping list without opening your phone.
Kindle
Download from Google Play Store
Kindle’s refined layout, pleasant interface, and cover display support make it one of the best apps for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6. If you own a Kindle device, this app will sync your reading progress with your smartphone and vice versa. Amazon Prime subscribers can choose from hundreds of titles and read them without any additional cost. You can also get a Kindle Unlimited subscription and explore millions of books, comics, and more.
Spotify
Download from Google Play Store
Spotify is the quintessential music streaming app for a variety of reasons. Its comprehensive library contains over 80 million songs and 4 million podcasts. While it may lack lossless audio support which is found in Apple Music, it makes up for it with its superior UI. Galaxy Z Flip users will also be pleased to know that the app is compatible with the cover display on their devices.
Download from Google Play Store
Unanimously considered to be the best instant messaging app for Android, WhatsApp is a must-have app for your Galaxy Z Flip 6. Features like multi-account/multi-device support, HD images, Meta AI integration, video calling, screen sharing, and more make it a well-rounded messaging app. On your Flip 6, you can easily view and respond to WhatsApp messages from the cover display.
Netflix
Download from Google Play Store
Despite recent controversies, Netflix still enjoys a good percentage of market share among streaming apps. But that’s not why it is on the list. Netflix is one of the few media streaming apps that is compatible with the cover display on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6. While it is still a beta feature, you can enjoy TV shows and movies on Netflix on your phone’s cover display.
Hulu
Download from Google Play Store
Hulu is an excellent app to stream TV shows, movies, and live TV. It has an impressive library consisting of popular titles like Only Murders in the Building, Shogun, The Handmaid’s Tale, The Bear, and more. With Hulu Live TV, you can watch NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, Formula 1, and more with ease. And yes, like Netflix, Hulu works on your Flip 6’s cover display as well.
DuckDuckGo
