My phone force updated and it changed the entire UI as well as a bunch of other things, making it a lot similar to iphones. I hate the iphones UI. How to I uninstall the UI update, and how do I stop my phone from auto updating?
I have auto updating off, but I still get forced updates. I'm not a fan of this, and I'm starting to hate samsung.
Sorry to hear you're having a tough time with the recent update. Samsung’s major One UI updates can significantly change the look and feel of the phone.
Unfortunately, Samsung does not provide an official way to roll back major One UI or Android version updates once installed. Downgrading would require unofficial methods such as flashing firmware manually, which carries risks and can void your warranty.
Regarding auto-updates — even with the "Auto download over Wi-Fi" option turned off, Samsung may still push certain critical updates for security or stability reasons, which are applied automatically.
Please try Good Lock (by Samsung): This app allows you to customize many aspects of the interface, including the task switcher, quick panel, and more.
You can submit feedback directly to Samsung to share your thoughts on the update by using Samsung members app.
We hope this helps, and we completely understand your concerns.
Thank you for the info. I'll be getting a none samsung phone when I upgrade next. I've been happy and using samsung for over the last 10 years, and all these new updates have done it for me, All the new features are trash and I dont want them on my phone. I'm finished with this BS. I'm done with samsung.
Just got it on s23 ultra. I would have never bought that device had I known there would be 2-3 forced interface updates on it. When you can't even recognise or use your daily device. Whats wrong with you Samsung?
I completely agree, I am having great difficulty with new functionality of the update changes! I am going to uninstall the changes as soon as I discover how. My dissatisfaction with Samsung is also growing and will look at changing next phone purchase!
Half my apps no longer work properly. Paid a fortune for a folding phone. Update has stopped apps and Internet working. Its a total mess. I don't care about how it looks. It won't work now!
