Open the app drawer tap the 3 dots in the search bar click sort custom and the apps drawer will be in horizontal swiping and the search can’t be changed back sorry

That option reorders all of the apps out of alphabetical. Do I really have to manually put them back in order? This is beyond ridiculous

Yes that’s the only way possible to get horizontal scrolling back you will have to manually arrange your apps in the order you want or do like I do and put all of my apps in folders I only have 1 page no need to scroll

You can change back to pages by tapping the 3 dots on the search bar and choosing custom, but it won't be alphabetical. You'll have to arrange them yourself for that. And, no, the search bar can't be moved back to the top.

It's a lot of work for something so silly. Idk why they changed that part.

It's absolutely ridiculous. Samsung hates their customer I think. Honestly, updates like that should be opt in not forced on customers. It requires re-training your brain to use the new version and my brain power is better focused on other things

Yessss. Throwing me off all day. I can't function easily. When you use your phone/tablet for work as well.... ugh. It's beyond irritating. Hopefully they will fix it soon

Samsung has been listening to their customers, the majority wanted a vertical app drawer.

I do agree if you want pages, there should be an options for alphabetical.
