The One UI 8 update changed the reminders widget.

The update removed:

  • The colour of the category the reminder was in
  • The categories (past, today, tomorrow, next 7 days. This helps me know if I've missed a reminder or not. 
  • The time of the reminder
  • The filter that allowed a choice between all reminders or categorising them

I find it very difficult to differentiate all my med reminders now! I can't tell from the wigit if I've missed the reminder or if it's upcoming. 

The different colours helped me differentiate my reminders from work related reminders and helped to highlight that there was something different from the routine that day. 

 

As someone with ADHD and Autism I used these functions as an accessibility tool to reduce cognitive load. It's on my home screen so when I open my phone I can see I've got a reminder not ticked off. Without it I've already started forgetting to take things etc. Luckily my Tab S7FE doesn't receive OS updates so I can show what it used to look like. I understand why some people might like the minimalist look, but don't remove the function for those who like it, give us choice!

I came here to complain because I couldn't find an email, the chat bot is useless and I shouldn't have to download WhatsApp to write a complaint to Samsung. 

Most people will probably think this is small, but it presents a major problem for managing my disabilities and chronic illnesses, and I hate how the 1 app that wasn't purpose made but was perfect has made my life less accessible through an update 😔
