My Galaxy S21 did a software update last night and now everything is different on my phone. I want my old version back. Before the update I knew how to make any changes in the settings. Now even the settings are different. Is there any way to get the previous version back?

Hi brecava, Thanks for being part of the Community. The One UI 7 was a big change. There is not a way to go back to the previous version.

Here is a thread with things that can be changed: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Samsung-Apps-and-Services/A-list-of-features-that-can-be-changed...

We also have a thread if you experience battery drain: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S-Phones/Battery-drain-on-One-UI-7/m-p/3220005#M122918

To submit feedback to Samsung, follow these steps: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Tips-Tricks/How-to-Send-Feedback/ba-p/3001692

You can definitly downgrade your device though there are some hoops to go through as far as i know with potentially wiping your device in the progress to downgrade, theyll tell you otherwise and probably delete this post today under the guise its already been answered like they did mine, they are consistently getting negitive feedback for UI 7 it clearly is one if not their most hated update to date yet they refuse to give you an easy way to downgrade or even tell you how to go about it, my post yesterday had comments telling me how to do it but they deleted that post even though it had details that would have otherwise helped me downgrade.

This new update has killed my phone, not charging properly or holding charge and signal has gone bad and cutting out. Has only started since updating.
