New UI Has Made Things Worse

This new UI update has ruined the quick functionality of the previous UI, and now I have to rebuild the home screen as the new UI has reverted to the factory defaults. NOT NICE! 

To use an app, now we have to slog through the entire list of apps rather than the quick, I'll call them "favorites" pages, only seeing the entire gamut of apps by swiping down. I'm guessing we had to dumb down the interface to cater to this new generation, yes?

Long time Samsung user, not happy AT ALL with this update to the UI.

OK, I've figured it out.

Need to navigate to Settings / Home screen / Home screen layout and select Home and Apps screens. This restored the  previous operation.

Thanks all!

The main change with the app menu is it's now a long list not a side swipe. Not sure what the exact issue is as you can just place your favourite apps on your home screen. You don't have to keep opening the app menu. You can still make folders even in the app menu. Not much about it's functionality was changed

You can have the alphabetical list or change it back to the custom swipe left and right as before

One UI 7 is fully customisable, when I first had it, it was a bit confusing but after playing around with it, and going back through the settings, I love it. Definitely better than one UI 6.1, and that's on my phone and tablet, change always takes a little getting use to. People are adopting change everyday, look at this moving from internal combustion engines to electric, folderable phones, AI, please don't knock it out completely, until you've played around with it, and customised it to your liking. 🙏🏾

I absolutely hate the new OneUI 7 layout and only want to revert these changes. Samsung have done it again, this is easily the worst thing since Bixby.

Plus I upgrade to one UI 7 whilst still using Microsoft launcher, and everything was exactly the same, but more customisable and ran much smoother, it you check your device care, you'll see that you are using less RAM than you did in UI 6.1. Come on who needs 16Gb RAM 🐏 when with 12Gb you're barely using 6Gb 🤷🏽

You can't say that about Bixby, it responses better than Google in noisy environments, 🍏 are still struggling with SIRI, and the new SIRI won't even be ready for the iPhone 17 🤦🏾, plus Bixby can always find a number in your contacts, whether they are saved on Google, Samsung or your Microsoft account. So leave BIXBY ALONE 🤫

Is there at least a function to sort the apps on the pages to the right of the home screen? As you can see in the attached pic there does not appear to be any ryme nor reason to how the apps are sorted.Screenshot_20250506_174524_One UI Home.jpg
