Just moved to the S25 from S23 and I'm not impressed with OneUI 7.

 
As far as the app screen/drawer is concerned, I know where all my apps are by muscle memory and only use the search function once in a blue moon. The search bar really should be far away from my fingers at the top like it has always been.
 
There should at least be an option to select the location of the search bar.

Excuse me, what you are trying to suggest here is to use some third party noname software from a shaky developer. Are you? Samsung has a huge user base which are loyal and got used to the interface. I personally is a Samsung only user for the last 12 years. And I don't understand why such changes against me and my experience should be tolerated?

Thx for nothing

+1. This needs to be fixed in 7.1. I'll be surprised if not. 

 

I get what they were trying to do for one handed use case. But there are a lot of us who does need a choice

Hi. 

Just push the search bar for a while, until pop up appear, and then select Move the Search Bar to the Top / Bottom.

Hope it helps.

yeah, I'm think that you did that in a dream, because in real life it cannot be moved.

I used to be able to use it one handed, now I cannot. So ease of use was not the intent in moving it.

Honestly this was the dumbest change with this update and it's making me severely regret getting this phone. I should have just got the Pixel. I know it may seem dramatic but I've been a loyal Samsung phone customer for 12 years and I've built that muscle memory, and this is beyond frustrating and annoying. It's also incredibly inaccessible to people who can't use their phone one-handed. Prioritizing one-handed users instead of allowing it to be customizable ignores a fairly-sized sector of your user base. Samsung is seriously no better than Apple for not allowing customization nowadays
