New ui 7 search bar

[Kapeach]

I updates my s24 ultra and i absolutely hate that the search bar for the apps is on the bottom. I never use it. I always click on the apps. I can't seem to have an option on this phone to change the location of this bar back to the top. I don't like it since i don't have long f8ngers and now im struggling to put my thumb to the top to get to the upper apps. And i also am having problems with the notifications with this update. Whenever i swipe from up to down, i don't get to see my norifications,i always get to the settings menu, which is annoying me. How do you change the search bar to put it back on top? Did anyone figure this out or is struggling like me?😭

Hi! Welcome to the samsung members community!

You can't change the search bar

For the other part

No, you can't move it back to where it use to be, so there's nothing you cando about it. By the way it was Google that made that change to Android layout.

I hate this latest update. I have turned off automatic updates. This is a stupid unnecessary update for absolute no reason. I don't even use that Ai junk. Now my find apps bar stuck on the bottom is ridiculous. I need to be able to customize my layout the way that I want to. Also cannot see preview of text and notifications are crazy.

what a load of s***e. why put it on the bottom. annoying

I came here searching for a way to move it too, I don't mind all the new Ai stuff etc in the update, but I use the search bar all the time and it's really irritating me that it's moved down there.

From a UI Design point of view, it makes no sense as generally (universal common) all search bars and navigation similar to this goes at the top of the screen meaning that is where you look for it first. It creates unnecessary frustration and effects ease of use. (I'm a designer incase you can't tell).

I'm praying they change the position back or atleast let users move it to their preferred position. 

If you do find a way to change it, please comment on this so I can do the same, it's driving me mental.
