Samsung S23 Ultra updated today and I am seriously irritated with this update. First thing I noticed my navigation bar, I had the option of swipe or buttons. I have always used swipe for navigation and my recent apps were on the right and my back to the left with home being center. You used to be able to choose left or right for either. Now it is incredibly difficult to get to my recently used apps. Everytime I used the navigation bar it sends me to the home screen. If I wanted to go to the home screen I'd swipe in the middle. Everywhere does it now. Can't go back a page or to recent apps it all sends me home. There's an annoying period where you have to hold to get recent apps to show up. This is stupid and inefficient. Secondly it keeps opening apps up when I'm trying to scroll through my pages of apps that I'm not selecting just trying to turn the page and it's not responding correctly just opening apps. Very disappointed so far and will continue to notice things I hate about this update throughout the day. Wish they would revert the update.

I agree with this. Bring back those 3 lines option. I don't want my S23 Ultra to be an IOS lookalike. Also, I was used to that navigation bar. Also, in EU, I cannot use GOODLOCK!!!

Thanks to all who pointed me to Good Lock and NavStar! Never heard of these before.
However, Samsung should stop ruin the GUI with useless pseudo features. Otherwise I will switch to iPhone eventually.

That's for buttons. Op was talking about swipe. I've been having the same issue.

The update is poor.
I used to swipe up on the right hand side, and it would go back on Web pages, Facebook pages, now it simply goes back to the homepage. Really disappointed in the update tbh

That actually does not fix all the complaints. If you change from buttons to swipe with your new corrected orientation, it will not show you your recent apps or go back. only take you to home so you essentially don't have navigation beyond that.

It looks like they've taken Goodlock out of the app store.
