Please let us change icon layouts or icon sizes for folders.
OneUI 2 and 2.5 had 4 icons across, and it was a vertical free-scroll.

OneUI 3.0 is now 3 icons across, wasted space, icons too big, and a horizontal page scroll.

 

I can't find a way to change it, but much preferred the 4 icons across.

 

Can we have layout options like we do for home screen and app screen?

Add me to the list of people who joined the forums just to say WTF, Samsung? Please make this user-configurable (preferred) or revert to the old layout - this is not acceptable! And to see that not only has this not been fixed, _months_ after first being reported, but the unwanted change is still being rolled out, is especially frustrating. You need to stop forcing the update to 3.0 until you've got this fixed, or allow people to roll back to previous versions in the meantime.

Also, why does the folder header take up a non-adjustable 1/3 of the screen? First, the font doesn't need to be that big; second, even if the font size stays that large, it doesn't need so much vertical padding! You could easily put 1-2 more rows of icons on each screen just by utilizing that space.

I just looked at the forum title (found this post on an internet search) - this was a known complaint in the Beta program. I didn't install the beta - I had the release version pushed to me. Why on Earth would this issue be perpetuated into the (forced) release version, when it was known to be a problem in the beta? Isn't that the purpose of the beta, to get the chance to fix things before they're incorporated into the official release?

Created an account literally just to agree, 3 icons across is wildly wasteful of screen space, plus its just rude to everyone who had their phone organized a certain way. Please add an option for 4 across.

 I totally agree.. who requested bigger icons? fewer icons per folder? Makes no sense?   We can change home screen and apps screen layout but why not the folders?

Yes. definitely agree to this post. The new layout hurts my eyes. I like the previous layout. Dislike how we can change for home screen and app screen but the folder we can't change. It's so spaced out and stretched; HUGE DISLIKE!!!!!

Same problem with the pull down drawer. Now need to perform more actions for the same result - far less efficient and no option to go back

So annoyed. Searched for how to revert it back and it lead me to this post. How horrible. I can't find my apps. Why change something that's not broken. 

 

I also hate the blurred background. Ugh!

Like many people here, I joined the forum for the first time to register my interest in seeing this additional development become reality. I can't believe that with our large phones, we are forced to have an app folder layout with 3 columns without being given the choice of 4 columns as we did before. This means not being able to get a quick overview of the apps and  more clicks to get to our apps and more clicks to get to our apps. Such a step back! Please give us the option to keep the 4 columns and more rows!
