Bring back Samsung UI Identity!

IhateUI7-IOS-isation — Mon, 12 May 2025 11:58:07 GMT

Dear korean friends, If I wanted an iPhone, I'd buy one.

Stop turning One UI into a poor iOS clone. Give us back the clean, efficient Android experience! (The new UI 7.0 i`ve downloaded yesterday is just ***** - as almost everyone of the latest one's)

Best regards,

#OneUI7.0 #SamsungFail

Not sure where you and others get the ios thing from
One UI 7 on my S25 Ultra is nothing like iOS on my works iPhone 16 Pro Max
Unlike iOS, I can customise my phone as well
If something is not to your liking. Quite a lot you can just change

Well, in general I can even agree with you, it is not a copy, but that makes it even worse. Everything is done very crookedly, half of the icons are still in a more "angular" style, half are new and bloated, alignments do not always work because of this circularity. And as about the iPhone - the menu of open applications, the menu for setting up Wi-Fi and Bluetooth... a lot of things are "inspired" now by IOS

If you are talking about the pull down menus for notifications one side and shortcuts the other
You can change that back in the settings
If you don't want the vertical app draw. Again you can change that in settings as well
As for the app shapes. Mine are all the same
Maybe try a different theme or icon pack
Goodlock app provides various ways to change stuff on your phone

I have seen videos on rival phones, that look much more like IOS than Samsung any day.

Don't get me started on the awful attempt to copy the battery icon. New icon and charging animation is horrible

And if this is not an attempt in "apple style" with limitations on native grids on workspace for widgets - then I don't know... it looks just funny and horrible

In my opinion Samsung have better and unique battery icon than iPhone. And certainly they not same

No, it's Android(Google) style, have you see Android 16?

Perhaps! I don't claim to understand the topic at all, I just wanted to say that I don't like where this is all heading.

Even if they add new functions and update the style, of course, you don't need to stand still - but you need to change it in an original way and everywhere at the same time, otherwise one menu is new, another (with settings, for example, still has thin borders that are not in the header at all..) - still old in the same time and all this inconsistancy is the worst

The battery icon is awful, way too big compared to everything else there, way too rounded, make it smaller people complain about readability, the whole design needs to go.

Look how the iPhone icon is uniform and the same size as the other icons (which are bolder, more modern looking too) compared to the big spot that is the samesung icon
