The update ruined the now bar

[Nodnarb88]

This new now bar sucks. It use to be that my music or podcast apps would be centered and large enough to use it from the lock screen. Now it's a tiny bar at the bottom with tiny buttons that are now harder to push. The writing is tiny and harder to read. This update just keeps getting worse the more I use my phone. Samsung better fix this disaster. Who ever approved this revamp needs to lose there job cause there's no way people said they liked these changes.

Yes! I hate this feature too!

Go to the lock screen tap the now playing and it will enlarge to about 3/4 of the screen. Give things a try first before you bash em.

[Nodnarb88]

Yeah I know it will expand, but it's just an extra step from before.

[dezyyy]

I don't like that I have to expand it, i just wanna mess with the music quickly when im busy instead of doing the extra step or messing with the tiny buttons

[Nodnarb88]

Thank you! My thoughts exactly. Honestly if this was the only inconvenience of the update I'd get over it, but it's just one of many

[dezyyy]

There are too many inconveniences all together that it's frustrating and makes me just not like it

Lol I legit just replied basically the same thing. 🤣 🤦 ☠️ Then read your comments. 👍 👌 🙏 You know what's up!

The controls are still at the bottom of the screen instead of the middle. My thumb literally always ends up in the center of my phone either left or right handed when I hold it comfortably one handed but now I have to uncomfortably jam the corner into my palm to reach them and holding my phone by the bottom portion while im trying to change my music or podcast on the go seems like an opportunity to go flying or fall out of my hand just waiting to happen.

So I have to double tap it every single time? This is not a fix. Nothing like having to tap my phone more to just change a song.

UI7 sucks
