I was looking around everywhere to share this feedback with Samsung and I guess this is the only place to do that. I just updated my One UI to 7 and this Notifications/ Panel feature where you pull down from the left for Notifications and right for the panel has me pulling my hair out!!!
There should be an option to flip it. Personally, I view my notifications more than the panel and since I have small hands, every time I try to pull down notifications now, I get the panel. It's annoying and there NEEDS to be the option to flip sides especially since: one, some people have small hands and because of that have a hard time with it, and two, depending which hand is dominant it could be an issue with people that can reach it fine but would rather not reach across the screen for the notifications.
My daughter loves it... BUT SHE IS ALSO LEFT HANDED 😂. She tends to hold her phone in her left hand so the notifications are an easy reach for her and her small hands.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that hates reaching to the left side of my phone for the notifications. I just went to the panel settings and noticed there's an option to flip it to the right side. Worked like a champ for me. Thanks for posting! 😊
So... I just discovered something that could have been helpful if it had been listed in the update as part of the feature...
If you pull down the Quick Panel by accident when reaching to pull down the Notifications Bar, if you swipe from left to right then the Notifications Bar will show and vice versa (if you swipe the opposite direction with the Notifications Bar open, in empty space not on a notification, then it will move to the Quick Panel). This is kinda cool... and makes the feature much more usable without needing to flip the sides it drops from.
So now I just pull down on the left side and swipe 🤷 Whatever works. Kinda glad I kept it to try to get used to it now. 😊
