Ive noticed a few things that i would love to see these addressed in the next update....

When using notes and using a widget to put a note on the home screen, scrolling that note without opening it is limited, can this be made unlimited please so theres no need to open the widget?

There is a very handy search feature in the notes app, i use it a lot, but the widget version doesnt have this, can a search function be implemented into the note widget and used without opening the widget?, this would be very helpful even if it was restricted to that particular note widget.

The fonts i had on the S23 ultra were excellent and included choccy cooky, ive used this font for years but this font has disappeared on the S24 ultra, can this be brought back in the next update please.

Thank you

Hay I've noticed that the widgets don't have a transparency option anymore on the s24ultra can this be fixed on the next update as its a must for every widget on home screen.

Also the option to use the full screen for widgets. At the moment we can only go down to the preset apps at the bottom of the screen. I scraped the short cut apps to use the full display but was limited to that point I mentioned above.

But why does this sub forum exist?

Feature request: Force Full screen apps 

Hello Samsung, You have a beautiful feature in Settings > Labs 

It's called "Full screen apps in split screen" What we need in One UI is to have this same feature option for all apps in that it would force the full screen on any app just like that aforementioned setting successfully does in Multi Window split screen. We need this option in normal view (non multi window). This is because it's beautiful having the status bar (notification bar) Hidden away while in full screen and it's beautiful seeing my apps being scrolled under camera notch cut out. This includes apps such as Chrome. 

We already have "Full screen apps" in the Settings but unfortunately it only shows a limited number of apps. We need a way to force the full screen on any and all apps just like what that split screen setting in Labs can do. Is there anything I can do to support you in what I mean. Feel free to let me know.

@Chookz: Thank you for your suggestion. I have gone ahead and passed this to our Research and Development Team, who will explore the possibility of introducing the requested feature in future products or updates. As soon as I hear back from them, I will let you know.

Thank you AndrewL. I did originally submit this as a question in the Samsung Members app but was then told to post it in the community forum.

As I've previously said, the Labs feature of "Full screen in split screen view" works beautifully for apps such as Chrome and Simple Gallery Pro. However obviously I don't want to enjoy it only in split screen but in normal view too. So why can't this all be better integrated into the other "Full screen apps" with a force all apps option

This is the type of One UI Android 'Immersion Mode' that all Samsung users deserve. Much better than having to resort to fiddly things like ADB commands or the dreaded rooting.

This could even be something baked into a future GoodLock version.

I do think that a Full Screen experience for any and all apps (as an option) is where Android is heading. Then the top status bar (notification bar) should always auto disappear allowing the user to pull down to show it again. This is when using any app or game.

Ive included two edited screenshots on this reply to depict what I'm getting at.

Even WhatsApp looks amazing in the top Split screen with the enabling "Full screen in split screen view"

Scrolling WhatsApp like this with the app contents flowing freely underneath the camera notch cut out looks AMAZING 😊 😊
Particularly as WhatsApp's upper Toolbar auto hides when scrolling through the chat list.

This is definitely something (Full screen) that the Samsung One UI team should expand upon more. It would make a great selling feature for any next Galaxy device.

Needed for both the Galaxy S phones and Galaxy Tab devices.
