Has anyone figured out how to fix the app drawer being on one page so that you have to scroll up and down? Aside from all the other things that got messed up during the update, The way that it shows apps when they are open but not being used and the way that you have to scroll through those icons in the folder seems like an unnecessary change. It makes it harder to navigate for me and I can't change the screen back to the way it was. I also didn't want any of my icons to look like an Apple product. If anyone from Samsung is reading this, reverting back to the way things worked in the next update would probably make most users happy. I didn't want to wake up on a Monday morning to an update that I kept trying to defer to find that everything about my phone had changed and that I would have to spend hours trying to make it usable again. Great way to prevent phone usage though, if I'm too frustrated to pick it up I guess I'll just use my laptop more often.

There is no app drawer on my T-Mobile device. I found the help topic on Samsung, on how to enable it, but it has no "home and apps screens" in settings. This must be my carrier feature. T-Mobile is pretty big, maybe you know how to access the app drawer?

It is possible to change the app drawer to a multi-page layout using an alternate launcher (I have this option in Nova Launcher).  Hopefully the Good Lock team will add this option rather than waiting for another update.

@GaryB82 Sorry I missed that changing to custom sort order also puts the app icons on separate pages with horizontal swiping rather than the continuous scroll. It has been so long since I used the OneUI launcher that I didn't pay close enough attention. Odd that the apps in the vertical alphabetical order list don't appear to remain in alphabetical order when changing.

Quick Settings options are there if you pull down from the top right corner. If you want to revert to a single pull-down with quick settings and notifications, that option is there under Panel Setting/Together.
