I somewhat dislike the look of this new notification list

It looks that they removed the settings icon beside the notification. and the modern look I'm getting used to I like the way it looks.

I appreciate and understand that not all the changes will be liked or will need getting accustomed to.

There are various options via launchers such as Nova Prime as one example and some use Goodlock and it's Plug Ins.

Personally however I prefer things as stock with Samsung One Ui.

You could put some feedback into the specific thread here > The-suggestions-amp-ideas-thread-for-software-based-features and send feedback direct to Samsung via the Samsung Members App.

They do listen @A-F-ASSIST-Support
