Why did Samsung remove"Revert to Original Setting when Mode is turned off" from Modes and Routines? I had a sleep Mode set up few a year that had a setting called "Revert to Original Setting when Mode is turned off". I accidently deleted that Mode, when I recreated, this setting no longer exists, and now my Watch doesn't go back to Wake on Raise Wrist, and Wake on Screen Touch.

Why would Samsung have removed this setting? It makes Modes completely useless.

Edit: To be clear, the Mode I accidently deleted worked perfectly, and reverted after turning the mode off (I could literally see the Revert setting in this mode). The recreated Mode does not have this setting visible, and does NOT revert back after the Mode is turned off.

They dont on my phone and watch. Not since I deleted the mode that had the actual revert setting in it. Now I I create a mode, this setting doesn't exist, and nothing reverts. I 1000% agree that it should revert, but it does not. I'm not the only one. There are 10000s of posts about this all over social media.

I love when people yell with caps, as if that actually going to make my phone and watch work they way its suppose to...LOL

I'm 1000% aware I should not have to do this.  This simple fact of the matter is, it doesn't revert.  There are literally 1000s of posts about this issue all over social media.  I'm not the only one dealing with this.  There may only be more posts about how crappy Samsung's sleep tracking is.

Yelling at me in CAPS will not make my phone and watch do what they're supposed to do.

NO MODES REVERSE ON MY PHONE OR WATCH WHEN THE MODE IS DISABLED!!!

Then you have to put in an error report. Hundreds of posts on social media do not count as error reporting, it is only speaking into a void. The only way it is EVER going to be addressed is by sending an error report to the development team.  https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Tips-Tricks/How-to-Send-Feedback/ba-p/3001692

For the record, unless your watch modes and settings are different than mine, between the watches 2, 4 and 7, I have never seen the reverse action setting you refer to and my mode actions have always reverted when the mode ended. And modes always had to be set up on the phone. Who knows, maybe it's different with the ultras, but I doubt it. Modes are modes and the behaviors and actions ahould be the same.

In any case your issue is not going to be addressed or solved here. This is a user to user help forum and only the developers can address your issue.

Lot of useless replies above. The mode you deleted likely utilized the If trigger "Time Period". For example, a night time period of 10 pm to 7am. Once you click time period, the "Revert settings to original when complete" will automatically show up. This trigger allows the routine to auto start and auto stop at a specific time.

Modes do not have end actions.  When the mode goes off, the actions taken by the mode are automatically reversed.  SOME routines have end actions, but only routines do.  Routine actions also reverse themselves when either the routine ends or the action that triggers it is no longer present.  This has always been the case.  I think the OP is very much mistaken that they saw an end mode action on any mode they set.  I have looked at all the pre-configured modes on both my new and old phone - no end actions, and not every routine has an end action either.  One phone running OneUI5.1 and the other running OneUI8.0.  So, the actions were never there for modes or for all routines.

I have used/created modes and routines extensively on both devices (I'm kind of addicted to them), so I do know what I am talking about.
