I love my phone so much and have been able to change every little thing exactly to my liking, that is until one UI 7 came out. For some reason Samsung is taking a little bit too much out of apples design philosophy of being forced to use something and be powerless to change it. The now bar is a plague to my phone, ugly, unintuitive, and pathetic. If this is the response to apples dynamic island it's such a sad feature. Instead of integrating it with the hole punch in your phone using OLED animations they've decided to put an unintuitive pill in your status bar and on the bottom of your lock screen. The worst part about it is that it's completely unable to be toggled, you either have the now bar or you turn it off and you are now without a media player on your lock screen. This has to be my biggest annoyance, why would they ever make the decision to outright remove the old media player and live notification and force the use of the now bar. This "feature" is incredibly annoying and I just want my old media player back nobody wants to be tapping a small pill to change music in the car. Im praying that one UI 8 will come with a feature to toggle this abysmal setting and be able to use features like before, there needs to be a choice, that's what running android is about.
Its not just the now bar, its basically everything. Samsung is trying to be Apple when Apple has been playing catch up for years. Samsung is literally backsliding
