So, my phone forced itself to update although I didn’t want to since the recent updates have been horrendous to say the least, but this one I found an extremely strong dislike towards. I’ve always liked Samsung, although it’s updates we’re rather stupid and unreasonable at times, this one ticks me off the most. Why would they change the notification bar? It was fine the way it was. And don’t even get me started on the emojis. They look horrid. Also, changing the colors for copied things on the clipboard does not help at all. Neither does changing the back button. Or any of this update in this sense. I just dont like it that much and at this rate with all of these unreasonable updates im thinking of switching phones. PS: I was a fan of the update before this one. It looked completely fine. Why change it? It’s just adding more clutter and burning my eyes.

    It seems like Samsung just changed things to change things. It was perfect the way it was. Wtf. Why does Samsung just get to change how our devices work. I paid a lot of money for my phone and tablet but Samsung just does whatever the hell they want.

    Last years update when they had the rubber band effect on scrolling up or down pages was horrible. There isn’t a way to turn it off unless you disable all animations. But seems like Samsung doesn’t care.

    Things I dislike about the update I’m on an s22 Ultra I dislike the massive icons why are they so big? It feels like a childs toy. Also the emojis are horrible. I think those two things made it a downgrade the performance is good but the icon size really annoyed me.

      you’ll be able to change the icon size with goodlock once the goodlock devs have updated all the apps for proper android 14 support. Also, you’ll get used to the emojis lol

    yeah… this plus removing the 10x zoom to put a 5x instead and not improving the 3x seems like really weird decisions overall. Not a fan of the direction taken (and Exynos will be back in a ton of countries on regular and plus models…)

      I have Nova Launcher and it does the bare minimum to change stuff. although I don’t dislike the update this much it’s most definitely not my favorite and I don’t understand why they would make the notification bar so cluttered and change the emojis. It could be that my version of Nova Launcher is outdated, but all it did really was change the icon size etc

      No. If you want stock android, buy a bloody Pixel then because the fact that Samsung have Oneui is a relief to everyone that dislikes stock Android.

      you can use a goodlock module to change the size of icons. Goodlock devs are currently working on making them all work with Android 14, so should be available soon
