I just got the update for one UI 7 and was immediately annoyed. To save the rant, the now bar is to small to comfortably use for me and I want the old version of the lock screen media player and maps, where it was a large easy to read, center of the screen notification sized block. If it's not possible to get that back, then a way to downgrade one UI back a version would be appreciated

I hate the now bar. It's location is terrible. I have to use 2 hands for my phone now.

 

So far there is nothing I like about UI7

I've thoroughly read the change log and explored one ui 7. I haven't found a single thing to like about this update.

You can't switch off the now bar because then the media player disappears altogether.

The removal of labels in quick toggles is disastrous. The status bar no longer shows Bluetooth or WiFi calling. So many downgrades in this update

Same problem here. Have been like crazy trying to solve all rhe changes back. If you use the lock good app or a widget it get there permanently.

Like, if i want an iphone i would buy an iphone. Every single samsung user i talked to say that this update is not just getting used to, it is a downgrade in  almost every aspect. I could bot find a food one so far.

Just got my phone auto updated to One UI 7.0. Absolutely hate the nowbar that forces the mediaplayer to be soooo tiny on the screen. This is a complete step backwards in terms of accessibility and usability with the buttons so small on the screen.

Still waiting for Samsung to address this poor update. It isn't being taken seriously enough. Doesn't put South Korea tech on top anymore with the many complaints. Glad to see it's not just me, keep the pressure up gang.

OMG, I hate everything about this update.  My widgets have all been resized, swipe functions do different things now, I have ugly search bars and scrolling "settings" bars all over the bloody place, and I actually have to go through my entire phone now to attempt to disable the few things they actually allow you to disable, when I really just want to remove them.  I am so angry at Samsung for this hot mess that I can *guarantee* that my next phone will not be one of theirs.
