New update

Paulaw1 — Sun, 27 Apr 2025 03:26:20 GMT

Hello,

I am extremely dissatisfied with the recent update that changed the App Drawer scrolling from horizontal to vertical. This new vertical scrolling feels uncomfortable, disruptive, and negatively impacts my user experience.

I strongly prefer the original horizontal scrolling and would like the option to choose my preferred layout.

Please consider adding a setting to allow users to toggle between horizontal and vertical scrolling in the App Drawer, rather than forcing this new behavior.

Thank you for your attention to this feedback. I hope you will prioritize giving users more control over their experience in future updates.

Beauty of OneUI Samsung's OS- you can customize entire OS with Good Lock modules, or in OS himself.

Option you want exists right in Search in App Drawer, see picture

I prefer horizontal scrolling too, but Samsung is great because he listens his customers and added vertical scrolling too. 😊

Thanks to Sonora for your solution. The three dots in the search bar of the app drawer allow 'alphabetical' and 'custom'.

So you have the option to change between the vertical and horizontal app settings.

Except I don't see a way to have both alphabetical and horizontal. I want it horizontal and still in alphabetical order. I don't like this update either

How do we have both alphabetical order and horizontal

The choice is alphabetical order on a vertical scrolling page. Alternatively by selecting custom then the older style scrolling by horizontal pages is available, like it used to be.

There is not an option to have an 'alphabetical sorted side scrolling page'. But this was never a feature with oneui6 either.

Id you need this then perhaps goodlock customisation will have a solution

Not automatically at the moment, unfortunately. You can sort apps horizontally alphabetically yourself. Maybe Samsung will add that in OneUI 8
