3 dots missing from app drawer search bar

[userD6ZcfwWY9r]

My S24 ultra just updated to the vertical app drawer. However the 3 dots are not available in the search bar to revert back to horizontal pages. Is there a different work around? @LongHiker  you seem to be very knowledgeable in the posts I have searched. Any insight?

Clear cache for One UI Home in settings, apps.

That did not change anything. Do I need to clear data as well?

Did you clear device cache after the One UI 7 update?

[userD6ZcfwWY9r]

No I did not. How do I do that?

How to clear device cache:

1) Turn off your device.

[Your device may need to be connected to a powered USB device (ex: computer) before proceeding to the next step.]

2) Press and hold the Volume Up button and the Side/Power button until you feel a vibration and the Samsung logo appears. Let go of the buttons.

3) You will now be in Android recovery. Use the Volume buttons to highlight "Wipe cache partition."

4) Press the Side/Power button to execute.

5) Use the Volume buttons to highlight "Yes."

6) Press the Side/Power button to execute.

7) "Reboot system now" will already be highlighted. Press the Side/Power button to execute.

The device cache has been cleared, and there is not any change. Also, i just noticed not all of my installed apps are in my app drawer.

That's very strange. I hate to go straight to the nuclear option (factory reset), but it doesn't sound like the phone updated properly. When did you get One UI 7?

[userD6ZcfwWY9r]

Overnight. Went to bed with phone on the charger working fine and woke up this morning to a dead phone. Plugged it back in and turned it on to the current situation. Is there not a way to uninstall the update and then reinstall?

[Mujibar]

Unfortunately not. I think your best bet is to back up all your data (to a computer, if possible) and perform a factory reset.
