App search bar, customisation, drop down

[Vans90]

WHY just why would make the new update look like an iphone!? I've been a samsung fan since the s2, loved that 95% of things were fully customisable to use preference. Taking away customisations is a MASSIVE flaw. I get that updates are required, but changing layouts IS NOT. Having so many things on the drop down that cannot be removed is also a bad move. I like my phone tidy and this is not tidy. Should at least have the option to have layout settings stay the way you have them. Shame.

*looks nothing like an iphone. Gf has on and Ive compared, not even similar- fad comment

[Vans90]

Have looked at those, not what I'm after. It completely changed the entire layout and preferred settings of my phone. And yes, the double drop down does look like an iphone but sure your gf has one so of course your right. 

[johnz237]

Yes, my partner uses an iphone 15- and yes- nothing alike.

If youre specific about whats changed which I didnt provide a link to?

Theres only one major change I can think of and that's the search bar being moved in app draw, but this is an android change, not samsung.

First link was how to revert the double pulldown menu

[Vans90]

Yes I've done that, I don't like that I can't just remove the things I don't need from the double drop down. Nearby devices, smart view ect. Yes I am aware that they are now 'hidden' from the top but they are still there. 

When you swipe up to view open tabs is now like a carousel rather than just swiping left or right to view pages. If you do have a link on changing that I'm keen, Genuinely. 

The battery icon in the top right, changed to not even reflecting looking like a battery, just an oval. 

Genuinely open to any other links you have from either android or samsung.

You werent able to get rid of those options on ui6 either/edit the pulldown completely, being integrated into the OS- Some has suggested looking at goodlock but Ive not done that myself, Swiping cant be changed *I just had to check this myself as I didnt notice the change, battery icon is a common complaint, but cant be changed- Im on ui8 beta and seems to be bigger now.

Be sure to go to samsung members app- support- feedback
