I recently upgraded my S22 to OneUI7. The Now Bar that displays a control panel for media currently being played on the lock screen has been updated to be at the bottom of the screen instead of the center, and is very, very, very tiny. It is too small to actually be usable. It is difficult to reach while holding the device with one hand because it's at the bottom instead of in the middle. I have to use two hands to control it. What is more difficult however is that it is too small to hit the correct buttons with my fingers. I have to click on the miniature controls to open a larger version of the controls in order to actually use them. So I need to do more clicks to get the same result as before the update. The way the Now Bar looked prior to this update was superior. Please put it back the way it was. Thank you!
I believe the Now bar is an Android abomination (I could be wrong, though). You can control the media player with the lock screen on by pulling down the control/quick panel. This does not require unlocking the phone. I am not sure this can be done in one handed mode, as I don't use it.

You got my hopes up, @realaud, but I don't think those are three options for displaying the Now bar. I think the image is just showing how the Now bar appears on the Lock Screen, Notifications Bar, and in the Notifications pull-down.
Yeah, I realized that after, I edited. I turned the Now Bar off immediately. I prefer my lock screen naked except for my clock and wallpaper. The very least they could do would be to let you customize the size and location

The Now bar is going to cause someone to get into a car accident. The buttons are way too small. Wish I never would have updated the UI. Please fix this.
