Two changes you may want to roll back after updating to One UI 7

One UI 7 brings many exciting new features and changes to the user interface, but not everyone is going to like it all. There are two changes in particular that long-time Samsung fans and users may want to roll back to how things were before One UI 7.

Switch from vertical to horizontal app drawer

After years of fans requesting the feature, Samsung finally introduced a vertical app drawer to One UI. A vertical app drawer allows you to find apps faster than a drawer that scrolls horizontally, and when you upgrade to One UI 7, your phone will switch to the vertical drawer automatically.

If you want to go back to the previous version of the app drawer, here’s what you need to do:

Open the app drawer by swiping up on the home screen.
Tap the More (⋮) button in the search bar.
Tap the Sort button.
Select the Custom option to switch to the horizontal scrolling app drawer.

One thing to keep in mind before you switch back is that the horizontal app drawer does not support sorting apps by alphabet. That’s only possible with the vertical drawer on One UI 7. Hopefully Samsung will address this in a future version of One UI.

Combine the notification and quick settings panels

On One UI 7, the quick settings panel is more customizable than ever, with Samsung addressing some limitations, such as the inability to change the order and position of some buttons, present in One UI 6.

What you may not like is that One UI 7, by default, separates the notification panel and the quick panel. You can swipe left or right in the notification panel to get to the quick settings or go directly to the quick settings by swiping down from the top right corner of the screen.

If you want to combine the notification and quick settings areas so you see some toggles above your notifications, follow the steps below.

Open the quick panel by swiping left or right in the notification panel or by swiping down from the top right corner of the screen.
Tap the pencil icon to go into editing mode.
Tap the Panel settings button.
Select the Together option.
