How to move the app screen search box/bar back to the top?

[Bill656]

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.

I really hate the search bar being at the bottom , frustrated and hate Samsung only for this now

It was one handed friendly the way it was. This is update is just *****. It's definitely way harder for me to use it one handed now than it ever has been. I have always been a Samsung user but if they continue to make updates that don't make sense and aren't user friendly iPhone unfortunately may be the way to go.

So tonight was another update. With excitement i went to check my search bar and they haven't moved nit. So they really dont care about popular opinion. Don't really know what they have updated but I'm certainly a bit over it

I agree. I don't like it at all. I wish I hadn't updated

This is bad, bad. Nobody is impressed. MOVE IT BACK NOW! or give us the option

It is 2025. We should be able to customize our phones the way we want to.  Forcing us to.jabe the search bar at the bottom is a dumb business decision

my S21 updated without my say-so, and I'm stuck with this botched update. Will be switching brands

I have the same problem with LARGE hands - I have to contort my thumb downward from where it usually is, about one third of the way up the screen.

yeah maybe I have an attitude problem but corporations don't get to decide how I use my electronics. I've been with Samsung for more than 10 years but I'm switching

I have decided after long friendship with samsun to shift my phone to xiaomi soon

Its not only search bar but toggle and controling some app as camera turn off and much more
