Hello,

 
I updated to the One UI 8 on my z flip 6 & after that all my cover screen widgets that were 4x4 shrunk to only be available as 4x2 or smaller. This is incredibly frustrating, & ridiculous that this happened and there isn't any changes that can be made at this time. Please make the 4x4 widget aspect ratios compatible for the flip 6 again. I know I am not the only one experiencing this problem, so please just be a decent human & help us all out with this.
The speed dial widget, & recent calls widgets are 2 I use frequently and now having them be so small I often mistakenly dial someone else because it is hard to touch the correct contact I'm looking for. Bring back what we need please!!!!!

We are all in the same boat they will enlarge if you tap them but I don't want to have to do that

Why in holy **bleep** would they do this?  The cover screen is small enough to begin with and then to reduce the 4x4 widget to 4x2 is ridiculous.  Then you have to tap it to enlarge.  Why oh why Samsung, would you add additional steps making it more difficult to do what used to be easier?  Grrr!

  • When I tap the phone 4*2 widget, sometimes a wrong contact is dialled instead of enlarging. I need to tap exactly on the header of the widget to enlarge, which is not easy as the widget is very small

Yeah it is. The whole point of the outer screen is convenience and ease of access. It's bad enough that we need to download and setup a geolocked app to make it kind of functional, now we're also taking steps back in functionality. Oh but look! Better camera! AI! New better camera with AI! Same cover screen software....

My flip 5 is doing this too after the update. I thought it was just my phone being weird.
