New Update is Aweful

[Gldneyesz23]

Just downloaded the new UI update and I hate it.  If I wanted a ***** IPhone, I'd buy a ***** IPhone.   Why must we compete with apple... (rhetorical)  but we don't have to be exactly like apple.  One of the biggest reasons I loved Android is that it wasn't an iPhone.  Now with this new update, my app screen is the same, notification window and settings window is basically the same.  Can't anyone think for the selves anymore and creat something new, rather than jumping on the same il dumb ass apple train... I swear gets any worse I'm going back to a flip phone... and not a Samsung one... shame on you!

Hi! Welcome to the Samsung Members community!

I personally heavily disagree. But I also get where you're coming from. This update isn't for everyone—personally, if I can use it, I couldn't care less; much bigger things in the world to stress about.

Have you seen Good Lock? Customize your phone as much as you wish.

If you want the old quick settings swipe menu, you can. It's just a setting. Everything you complain about can be tweaked and adjusted with either good lock or other settings. You could even install a whole separate launcher if you wish.

Where apple forces you to use what they make. Samsung and android allows you the freedom to change things if you wish

where are those options???? ive been scouring my settings app for the past 4 hours since the update happened and i havent even found a mention of the quick settings other than how notifications are shown at the top.

been searching things like quick settings, notification bar, notifications, top, top bar, swipe, gesture, and havent found anything. god its horrendous

Honestly move to IQOO, I did and it was the best decision when it comes to phones

It feels practically identical to the old UI to me. The changes barely register from a pure utility standpoint. I personally don't spend much time fiddling with UI menus but rather use my phones for their "smartphone" uses such as gaming, media consumption and web browsing, streaming etc.

2 big issues for me.  In the upper right corner battery level is too small and can't be adjusted.  Old people can't read this.  Needs to be able to adjust size.  2nd.  My banking app won't allow me to sign in but once after uninstall and reinstalling before it gives me an authentication fail.  Please fix

What has what is going on in the world got to do with this thread?.. Any complaint big or small is equally valid on this awful update... Nothing to do with anything else. If you want to decry people about the world then go to a forum that discusses it. As for good Lock.. It can only fix a small fraction of the complaints.
