The Samsung S21 runs on Android. That's an open operating system for Google smartphone and tablets. Samsung made their own version, so icons and menus have a recognizable look. You can download all your apps from the Google Play Store. That's more extensive than the App Store, but also less secure. Google doesn't check every app. Do you have a Windows laptop?
