If ONE UI changes all my phone features one more time with an update, Im selling this phone & going 2 another less intrusive, invasive phone. Update security PLEASE. But leave everything else alone. Its not your phone. Stop making changes I did not want or authorize.

I agree completely. The updates to the photo editing are cumbersome and lackluster. It was 100x better before.

Sorry to say this but when ui8.5 is released early next year it's going to be another design change

I understand that change is difficult. Here is a helpful post with things that can be changed back: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Samsung-Apps-and-Services/A-list-of-features-that-can-be-changed...

It will be very difficult in the current tech landscape to find a device that is not going through major changes.

iOS just went through a major redesign. Google just introduced M3E design language, which will substantially change the way Android phones look. Samsung will be undergoing even more visual changes in 8.5, as Gary mentioned.

If you dislike change, your best bet at this time is to continue using your current device and reverting as many settings as possible.

I hope this is somewhat helpful to you.

It is. Thanks. I was going to make my own post about the frustrating changes, then I saw the OPs. I guess I should learn to be patient and it will work itself out. I also should not have spoken for the OP. Sorry about that.

Not that this  has anything to do with the original topic of the post, but this is failure of CCleaner to update their app. You would have to contact the developer of that app.

After purchasing 1000's of dollars in Samsung products over the years, because of this ONEUI update which destroyed the battery time on both my tablet and old phone. I will NEVER PURCHASE A SAMSUNG ANYTHING AGAIN UNTIL THEY REIMBURSE PEOPLE OR RECALL AND REPLACE EVERYONES DEVICES THEY **bleep** WITH, WITH THIS HORRIBLE ONE UI UPDATE.

After every major update, battery life always suffers for a couple of weeks until the device finishes updating, and re-learning your usage patterns.  Keep dreaming.  Samsung is not going to recall devices or reimburse anyone for devices that are not defective.
