What to do if you can´t find the Dictionary app on your new device

[Emeterio]

I just installed a new samsung phone and I was frustated on how I could not see the Samsung dictionary as I have on my other devices. The instructions on how to see it are actually in a comment by the developer in the comments on the Galaxy Store, but you have to scroll a long way down to see it.

The instuctions are:

1. Install the Dictionary for Samsung from the Galaxy Store
2. Open the Samsung Internet browser
3. Go to any normal page (try https://www.cnet.com for something quick)
4. Select a word
5. In the context menu that appears, click on the three dots (.) to the right
6. If you cannot see Dictionary as an option, click on Manage apps
7. If you cannot see Dictionary as an option, select it to turn it on
8. Now, with the word selected, tap on Dictionary in the menu
9. (If you still cannot see Dictionary in the menu, go to step 6 and turn it off and on again)
10. The Dictionary app should now start and ask you to install the specific languages you want
11. After all that... the Dictionary app will now be visible as a normal app and you are back in business!!

It appears to be a long process, but it is really quick and works every time. 

I hope this helps others in the same situation as I was.

Hello! Welcome to the Samsung Community! Thank you very much for sharing tips for the dictionary app! You can drop your suggestions to the samsung team using this app, make sure you drop them this issue and they hopefully will change this in the next update. Thank you and have a nice day :).

Hold on the "dictionary for Samsung" isn't from Samsung as far as I can see? It's third party? Unless I have missed something

Looks like it. But it was already installed on my zflip6 when I searched for it.

Not installed on my s24 Ultra, so was surprised when asked to install a third party app in the post

[GoanGeek]

Interesting. Mine is installed on. The s24 ultra.as well.

Not sure if grammerly uses it by default a I have e that ON.

Maybe, I don't use grammerly either

Thanks for the instructions, but it doesn't work on my S24 Ultra. I follow all steps, still showing "DB download is required before use."
