Can you revert the One UI 7 software update entirely?

How do I revert or rollback the OneUI 7 update?

The notification & settings swipe down feature, in conjunction with the app drawer vertical layout, is a pretty egregious muscle memory and reflex change. I would like to revert to OneUI 6 or disable these settings. Does anyone know how to revert the OneUI Update? I've read some mentions of a tool named Odin?

I would like to keep my Samsung, but honestly ... if future updates are more interested in changing HOW I am forced to interact with my phone rather than giving me new features or security enhancements, it might be time to look at competitors.

Just to let you know I HATE the new update my phone looks reallt weird can you reverse it please??

I hate it and will now swap my phone in.. it's actually more unstable now !

Completely agree. I am not updating the phone again after this experience. I don't enjoy using it anymore and resent so many things changing without my control or consent. I'm done with Samsung. The biggest issue is that new emails I receive in Gmail are not bold now. So I can't distinguish between old and new. The solution appears to be change the settings font to 'Android' but my settings don't have a font called 'Android' and all other fonts change everything not just new emails. Very frustrating. 

And knowing we can't revert back to how it was makes me want to ditch Samsung completely.

hi, i am sad with the new update because my camera settings are now totally different. I have had my cellphone for over a year and just recently I found out the different camera settings that I like after several trials, and the pre set filters were nice. Now settings are different and preset filters are not good. My camera captures very poorly and the result is blurred. May I know please how to revert back my camera features to the old settings? it is an absolute downgrade not an upgrade. I have S24 ultra.

Yes I've noticed a change to the camera settings too. When my contract is up i'm going to go Apple 😞

Question, has anyone actually phoned Samsung customer services to report their problem?

[MMStella]

Yes, I have. My main issue is the change to gmail fonts and new messages not bolding. They said to uninstall and reinstall gmail accounts but that didn't work. Apparently also you can change the default font on the phone but the s24ultra doesn't have the font that fixes the issue.

Ok, have you then told them that your phone is now broken and no longer functioning like the phone you purchased and how do you get your money back or compensated for their mess, ask to report it it high up, maybe they dont listen to one but if enough people do it, and it must A LOT and their wallet starts getting hit, they'll either fix it in the next update or find a way to roll it back.

not all of the old functions can be setup by good lock

How about the change in the lock screen, such as the notifications, media control and now bar? Also the search bar in the app screen, how the battery icon has been changed etc. I want to change those also.
