One UI 7 Is Terrible

Samsung you've really messed up here

 
I'm a partially sighted person with several visual constraints
 
I have an s21 Ultra, wanting the big screen for visual beneficiary reasons
 
I used to use the font size & style & the screen zoom features which are pretty mediocre, given the expense of the phone.
 
However they were affectively increasing fonts on most apps
 
But not pulling through on the notification panel, telegram, camera settings (the icons)
 
I upgraded to One UI 7, because my phones features tend to brake when I don't update it like the force dark mode feature 
 
But the updates always cause function problems
 
This one has gone too far in defeating the purpose of a big screen
 
Along with terrible and complex lay outs, the update has heavily restricted visual enhancement, with my font & screen zoom maxed out its average at best.
 
The notification panel & lock screen notifications are also tiny
 
I've tried to find a work around, the only one being the maximum or minimum width dev option 
 
But it's restricted the width from being any less than 320, which is the largest display
 
You need to lower the number for a larger display but it won't let me
 
Samsung have really messed up hard here, I'm not someone who likes switching phones so often due to the complexity and hassle of set ups but this one has really crossed boundaries
 
Having a sight loss condition & not being able to amend my display accordingly makes this impact critical and very difficult to use my phone 
 
Sort it out & roll back these horrific updates 
 
Alert users of these restrictive changes to prevent situations like this
 
Honestly shocking the lack of warning and preparation going into these updates

I have a braille qualification. Being blind is hard enough. If you up you phone AI can help by reading text for you. And also you can dictate your texts to Ai and send. On s23 ultra I get Google and Samsung ai. You need to look at any newer phone. Good deals on BACK MARKET. S23 ULTRA, nearly new less than £500. And it's 512gb. Let me know. Be safe. Thanks

O, but not Back Market, we had a lot of people here complaining that they weren't getting updates because they bought phones for the US.

If you've brought a phone from UK it should still work in USA and samsung should still do the updates for them. Unless there older phones that are out of updates and support... upto date phones should work. Thanks

How dare you say, "Not everyone is blind," considering the context? Why don't you show some respect for the op rather than reply with something completely horrible! Clearly, the op writes big to help with the visual impairment. What's that got to do with respecting the community?
Unbelievable, and a completely unprovoked poor reply. You should be ashamed of yourself 👎🏻

I have nothing to justify to you, just because someone is disabled doesn't mean they should be treated differently than everyone else, on the contrary, they should be treated the same, and my first reaction when I saw this post was that I almost dropped my phone because I was scared, and I think the OP has the right to know that. It's like someone is shouting, that's what these letters look like. Well, don't shout, it's NOT PROPER.

And I wrote it so  that I didn't even read what it said because it's totally tiring with one or two words in one line, I can't read that

You were scared? Scared of what? What a pathetic response 🙄
I don't need you to justify anything, as you've made your evil input possible for everyone to see. You've made your bed. Terrible people skills! Terrible inhumane mindset! Some people are unfortunate in life and need help here and there, and yet you've made it all about you. You have treated them differently by making fun of their way of writing, which is simply unacceptable. You've completely disregarded the visually impaired op's post and made it all about you! Disgusting behaviour!
Do one!

I'm also visually impaired,  I've worn glasses and lenses my whole life and I don't feel handicapped at all, nor do I intend to emphasize my poor eyesight in a pathetic way (letters sized 78). I'M NOT BLIND. AND YES, I WAS SCARED WITH LETTERS SIZED 78, ONLY VISUALLY IMPAIRED CAN UNDERSTAND THAT FILLING,  SO DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME INHUMANE

@facu1ty @Sonora I understand this is a sensitive subject, but please could you both try to be a little more civil if you are going to continue with this conversation? Referring to people as "pathetic" or "inhumane" is taking things too far, so I'm going to request that you both play nice. You don't have to agree, but that doesn't mean you can't be polite.

@ChrisB_ , thank you for reducing the font size of the OP post. 

OP has the ability to read aloud, AI can also read aloud what is written on the screen in the Samsung Internet browser on the S21 ultra. 

But I would like to know if choosing the default font on the phone for reading web pages can prevent me from even seeing when someone writes in different font sizes or styles, because some people deliberately provoke like that. It's like someone puts a very large magnifying glass in front of your eyes, without focus, and at that moment you lose orientation and can't see anything, a total flashback and of course you get scared.
