Edit: i thought this was a samsung sublemmy, I missed Lemmy shitpost, but im not deleting what i typed i feel like i spent a good half hour bitching about it and frankly feel more vindicated seeing others complain.
full rant if you want it
I hate the battery not looking like a battery. Minor complaint tbh, I dislike it but I might come to like it.
Notifications now stop at 3. Why. Why the fuck. I moderate discord and modmail pings me 17 times an hour. I want to see that I have a text in Notifs, and now it just shows 3 discord icons when opened - I have to open the full tray. Negative user experience item
The split trays was fucking stupid. I have a fold and I STILL hate it. Fixed it in settings. Negative user experience to have forced it rather than asking. Moderate item since you can reverse it.
Adding 6 “quick items” at the top of the Tray is nice, since they fucked with the tray. It’s like…“we know we made the ui worse so here have quick access to 6 items you actually wanted as an I’m sorry present” The whole Tray is very iPhone. I did not pay for a Samsung to get an iPhone. People are welcome to like them, I’m not here to hate. But I specifically bought a Samsung phone with Samsung styled ui - if I wanted this feel id have gotten an iPhone.
Spotify now has like this…loading screen? It tells me when i have no service and won’t even open the app if I’ve lost internet (data off and walk too far from wifi) Difficult to see the upside to this “live status”. Minor poor user experience.
Google assistant has been removed from the bottom left swipe. Holy shit i hated that move. Why the fuck was it in the bottom left in the first place. Even worse, now it’s fucking Gemeni. Ai is actually ass. Turned it off and disabled it. Disabled the tile in my apps. Putting AI on my phone is a hard negative especially with the next item
Google assistant now no longer works. It just makes Google searches. I now no longer have a hands free way to tell my phone to “call (contact)”. Gemini did not recognise this command and is part of why I disabled and removed it. Now GA doesn’t either - continuing the trend of making GA more and more useless. This is such a hard negative actually has me considering turning Bixby on. Using the full phone book when I used to be able to tell my phone to call people is such a shit maneuver. Very, very poor user experience.
App drawers looks clean. Looks smooth. Reorganization is fine. Positive user experience.
They changed something about Home Screens but I dont know what. I feel like they shrank the icons? Gave me an extra row? Something. Feels off now. Somewhat poor user experience because the user is left feeling paranoid about what did or did not actually change.
voice-to-text was removed from the keyboard and then hidden and moved to the bottom left last. You know, the same spot Google assistant was also placed last update. Actual dogshit user experience hiding the VTT and making me dig through the internet to put it back. The fuck was this choice.
Overall negative and has me rethinking keeping with the Fold line given their price. If anyone has a Launcher to fix some of these issues or to restore voice text making calls, I’d appreciate it.
Yes, icons got smaller and a row was added. They also changed the weather app to be scalable (ie not every icon needs to be 1:1 squares, they can scale now).
I was able to merge everything on my second page into my first page, so now Inly have 1 “desktop”-like page with folders
My biggest issue is that now I dont see notifications when I open my phone and swipe down, I have to swipe down TWICE now. Once for the system menu, again for the notifications. Its like they switched the 2 panels’ priority

That’s really weird… Have you reverted the Notification panel back to it’s original behaviour? I have it like that and it works same as it ever was.
Thanks! As of this morning it seems like it’s working normally.
Thank you!
