I too wanted to downgrade to ui 6. Samsung help told me it wasn't possible. And while I read various workarounds on YouTube, I didn't feel comfortable. I suppose ui 7 has some positives but I some various issues. Samsung told me that an update of ui 7 is expected in October 2025 so I looked for a different solution to my issues at least until then.
I have numerous problems when I loaded Ui 7 to my new A9 8" tablet and my S24+ phone last month. In particular I had problems with App / Widget Icons on both devices.
On the A9 tablet the App/Widget icons were so small they were difficult to read. All suggested solutions, including "change size of App / widgets" didn't work. Eventually I ditched ui 7 then switched to Nova Launcher, which I now find is a much cleaner, easier to use alternative.
On the S24+ phone, the problem was that the labels - the words underneath the App/Widget "icons" disappeared randomly. A tipster then suggested trying various Grid combinations. By trial and error I changed the Grid sizes and the problem is solved. I guess that something in ui 7 was squashing the Apps/ Widget icons and thus truncated what was being shown on the Home screen and subsequent screens - especially when I'd grouped similar types of App icons with a Folder - like organising Netflix and You Tube within a Folder I called "Films Videos."
Samsung Help didn't help. I was promised responses that didn't arrive.
