S23 one ui update 7 freezing home screen after return from an app

[dev64]

Often you may be in an app like maps or instragram and need to switch to WhatsApp to look at a message. 

Swiping and returning to home screen may result in a freeze for several seconds where it is impossible to launch whatsapp, or whatever app you may wish to go to. 

This seems to be often when the active app was one you may not have opened on a while. 

Very disappointing as one ui 7 brings a load of arbitrary and pointless ui changes and manages to turn the premium galaxy phone into a stuttering brick. 

Bring back one ui 6 it was fine.

I have a fix for this: unlock developer options on your phone, and then go to animations and you will see three things you can change and they'll be at 0,5x - if you change this to 1x it'll fix the freezing issue.

Ugh, it started doing it again one day later.

It never even worked for me.

It's so weird. So after it started happening again, I just turned developer options off altogether and it's now fine again. Will report back if it starts freezing again .

Happy to report I haven't had a single freeze since I last posted.

@snalil turning off developer options worked for me too! We should report this to the developers as it's a great clue to the cause of the issue and how to reproduce it. Well done!

This is a great clue, like @snaili below turning off dev options seems to help. Need to report it to developers for a fix, hope that helps as well

I have the same problem since one ui 7 update. I just turned dev settings off but having animation speed set to 1x makes the phone feel so sluggish... But I'm going to give it a try and see if it's fixed.
