Why Samsung????? 

The May 2025 UI one update is horrible and the widgets are worse. I bought the Galaxy S24 because I didn't like S25 with gimmicks and decreased features,  if I wanted my phone to look like an iPhone and act like an iPhone I would buy an Apple phone.. 

I am a UX/UI designer and I know for a fact that anything with a curved design is compromising the font size area space. Samsung, if you change the phone designs and widgets designs then let us have the option to decide if we want those changes or keep our old formats, don't make the decision for us. Samsung was all about choices which it was great to have, but sadly now, they are taking that away from us and acting like Apple.

Very disappointed in Samsung and really thinking of going to another android phone provider.

As a 60 Yr old (nearly)... It's wrecked my phone and I hate it. How do I close down all my apps at the end of a session? Access settings for WiFi easily? Does matter as I won't find myself back here 🙄

@Cazza25: To close all open apps, simply tap the Recents button in your Navigation bar at the bottom of the screen (3 vertical lines), then select 'Close all'. For quick access to your Wi-Fi settings, swipe from the top of the screen to the bottom, then press and hold on the Wi-Fi icon. I hope this helps.

If that is so, tell us how to stop the massive battery drain that was not there before the update.   We all know there are changes with every update, but we don't need BS apps installed we don't want, or a new system that drains the battery twice as fast.
