Please include guests mode to ui 7 or multiuser feature other small phone have it talk less of High cost phone. I hear the feature is included in iPad thanks
I totally disagree about search bar on top. Come on. You clearly have never used a bigger device like Ultra series where you always struggle with getting a thumb to search in the drawer
We agreed to disagree but the search bar should be at the top and not the bottom or the option to have either or but having it at the bottom is a pain in the **bleep** on my s24 ultra.
The update has completely ruined the battery life of my phone. The layout is complete trash. Can't see the battery icon. The half and half pull from the top half **bleep** works. It requires several times of pulling it down to get the right option. Numerous glitches of things not working smoothly like it was before the update. Everyone involved in this update needs to be fired and not allowed at a keyboard ever again. I will not be buying another Samsung device
Long press on the home screen and go to settings. You can toggle "swipe down for notification panel," which will let you pull down for notifications anywhere on the home screen.
You can also change the panels from separate to together. Pull down quick settings, tap the pencil, and go to panel settings.
First I would suggest wiping the cache partition to see if that helps
1. Turn off the device. 2. Connect To Computer , Press and hold the Volume Up key and then press and hold the Power key 3. When the Android logo displays, release both keys. 4. Wait until the android system recovery menu options appear. 5. Press the Volume down key several times to highlight wipe cache partition. 6. Press Power key to select. 7. Press the Volume down key to highlight yes, them and press the Power key to select. 8. When the wipe cache partition is complete, Reboot system now is highlighted. 9. Press the Power key to restart the device.
And here are the steps to revert back to some of the old settings the Battery Icon may get updated in the future also
Quick Notification settings
Swipe down from the top right of the screen.
Click the Pencil icon in upper right.
Click the Panel settings in upper left
Change the setting from Separate to Together.
App drawer Settings
Open the App Drawer
Click the 3 dots in the Search Bar
Select Sort
Custom
Now you can rearrange your Apps to where you had them before the update.

Did you clear cache partition? That should help resolve some of the issues you are having.
As for the new features and interface, this is Google's vision for Android. The vertical drawer, divided notifications/quick settings, and live notifications are all features of Android 16 and will be present on virtually all flagship Android devices by 2026.
