Yeah it's the extra swipe when I never used too but it doesn't do it for other apps

Yes I definitely agree with the comment THIS UPDATE ***! with regard to the May 2025 update. I may never update again.

You don't need to use Old. New is the best.

For example, I added Shield, Do Not Disturb, QR Code, Screenshot, Hotspot, and Bluetooth to the Notifications screen (edit, panel settings, Edit top quick settings) and other adjustments can be managed on primary control screen.

Additionally, I included Xiaomi in the SmartThings tag section for seamless switching.HMR0QqMns5.pngOwmprYAKHc.png

Since the recent update on my Galaxy S23, I’ve found it significantly harder to access the Quick Settings panel. Previously, I could swipe down with one finger from the top of the screen to easily toggle Wi-Fi, sound, and other essential settings. Now, it requires a much larger, almost four-finger swipe, which is awkward and unintuitive—especially when using the phone one-handed.

This change has made a simple, everyday task unnecessarily difficult. I rely on quick access to these functions, and the new gesture feels like a step backward in usability.

Please consider reinstating the original one-finger swipe-down gesture or offering users the ability to customise how they access Quick Settings. Consistency and ease of use are key to a positive user experience.

Thank you for your time and attention to this feedback.

It takes a little while to break existing ways of doing things and mental habits, but I would suggest you give the 'new way' a chance. Give it some time and you will see it works great. Think of it this way. For notifications swipe down to the left of the camera hole. For quick settings swipe down to the right of the camera hole. When I am checking notifications I actually like seeing just the notifications (and vice versa).

That one in used to as it was in a previous build. Maybe a choice of swipe down on the side of the home screen that matches the side for notifications or settings would help much easier than going to the to of the screen to swipe down.
I would happily adjust to swiping down the left or right side of the home screen to get either notifications or quick settings ❤❤
