My incoming text message used to have the icon with a photo of the contact so i could glance at my phone and see who the text was from. The icon was the contact profile photo but not the actual text message. This is no longer happening and I now have to open the the message app to see who texted me. How can i fix this?

@cfLlgeG  Sorry but the update can't be revert back to the old OS you can change the 2 major changes with just a few simple steps.

Quick Notification settings

  1. Swipe down from the top right of the screen.
  2. Click the Pencil icon in upper right.
  3. Click the Panel settings in upper left
  4. Change the setting from Separate to Together. 

App drawer Settings

  1. Open the App Drawer
  2. Click the 3 dots in the Search Bar
  3. Select Sort 
  4. Custom
  5. Now you can rearrange your Apps to where you had them before the update.

So that's why all my apps look messed up???? I have them all placed based on muscle memory it will take me AGES to get them all put back in the right order. I've managed to fix the notifications panel thing but there are NUMEROUS other problems I have with this update that I want GONE. I'd rather have a flip phone than this. Next time I get a new phone I don't know what I'm going to get but it sure won't be a Samsung after this.

Also the search bar can't be moved back to the top it was moved for easy accessibility

It's not accessible if you can't change it to fit your specific needs. For instance, I don't use that dumb little search bar. For me it is literally more in the way than it is anything else. I'm literally ๐Ÿค๐Ÿค this close to going to the Verizon store tonight and getting a flip phone or something because I do not want this on my phone.

The home screen grid was changed, which is probably what moved everything around. Download Good Lock + Home Up to get more row/column options. 1746621536290.jpg

Thanks. I'm trying to figure out how to make it look right again, but this might help. I'm still incredibly upset and angry about this.

I understand. A lot was changed appearance-wise. But functionally, everything is pretty much as it was. It will take some time to figure out where things are and it may not be convenient. But there are lots of people who can help. Take a breath and ask specific questions. It won't be so bad.

I've asked specific questions and said what I wanted. Functionally a lot of stuff has changed that I've had to figure out how to change back. I should be able to customize these things like I have always bee able to. I don't  about fun colored app folders but I do care about every single one of my app icons changing size, my widgets no longer fitting correctly on my home screen, the inability to customize the appearance of those widgets, the removal of the ability to choose where the apps search bar is (how is it accessible if we can't move it where we want it personally?), my camera app completely changing where everything is and making the setting icons SMALLER (not accessible), etc etc etc. I could keep going. There is nobody to help me change everything back because I can't change everything back, and the only way to fix everything is to spend hours upon hours in a third party app trying to rebuild my UI from scratch and it's still not going to look right. Sure, I might get used to it with time, but I shouldn't have to. I don't want an iPhone. I don't like them. I don't like their interface. So I buy Samsung. What good does it do for Samsung to imitate iPhone when most of its clientele are people who actively DO NOT want an iPhone. Please do not tell me how to feel about this. Sure, maybe it "won't be so bad" but this signals a much larger issue with Samsung showing that they're catering to the dumbphone iPhone market rather than trying to just be better. This update is indicative of a complete and blatant disregard for the wants and preferences of a majority of its customers. If Samsung is going to continue to make changes like this then it is no longer the phone company I want to provide my phone and I will figure something else out. I hope however that Samsung will remedy this with a follow up update allowing us to change what we want or to revert back to the previous One UI.
