New UI ruined display size

Since the UI 7 update yesterday, all apps and sites have been displaying as if they're slightly zoomed in. This means all ads within games can't be closed out because the "x" symbols are cut off, all videos are missing their edges and all desktop sites are missing edges which often means popups can't be closed on those either. There doesn't appear to be any way to change things so that the missing screen sections become visible - it can't be scrolled from side to side but just remains cut off. The UI is already unpleasant enough with some of the changes being incredibly user unfriendly, but this one is especially bad.

Hi and Welcome

Try

Settings > Display >Screen Zoom and reduce.

Aslo screen resolution to QHD depending on your phone if it has it.

Happy days. 😊

Yeah, that sounds like a classic case of a display scaling or resolution bug that sometimes pops up after big UI updates like One UI 7. What’s probably happening is that the system’s scaling settings (either DPI or display size) got messed up or changed behind the scenes during the update. That can make everything appear slightly zoomed in — cutting off UI elements like the “X” buttons, video edges, or web page borders.

Here are a few things you could try:

Check Display Settings: Go to Settings > Display > Screen Zoom or Font and Screen Zoom, and try adjusting it down a notch.

Developer Options: If you have Developer Options enabled, check the “Smallest width” under Drawing — default is usually around 411–430 dp for most phones. If it’s lower than that, bump it up slightly.

Clear Cache Partition: Sometimes leftover cache from the old UI causes weird glitches.

Safe Mode Test: Boot into safe mode to rule out third-party apps making it worse.


If none of that helps, Samsung might’ve just goofed on the update rollout and a patch could be coming. Sucks when updates break stuff instead of fixing it, honestly.
