After updating to One UI 7, I’ve noticed that Modes and Routines is acting weird. Some of my routines don’t trigger at all, especially the ones based on Wi-Fi. Others run halfway, like they turn off Wi-Fi but skip the rest of the actions.
Also, when I manually enable a mode, sometimes it doesn’t apply the custom settings I set (like brightness, Do Not Disturb, turn On/Off Wi-Fi, ect).
I’ve tried clearing the app cache, restarting my phone, and even remaking some routines but the issues still happen.
I would probably go to Settings > Apps > Modes & Routines > Scroll down to Storage & Clear BOTH Cache & Data for the app > Reboot and set up your Modes & Routines fresh.. See if that works for you?

Sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with Modes and Routines after updating to One UI 7. It sounds like a frustrating experience, especially when routines aren’t triggering as expected or custom settings aren’t being applied.
As adviced by RedDogRabbit, Clearing both Cache and Data for the Modes & Routines app can help resolve issues related to corrupted app data that may have occurred after the update.
If that doesn't work you can also try few troubleshooting steps to see if we can resolve this:
It sounds like you’ve already remade some routines, but it might help to reset the entire Modes and Routines settings: Go to Settings > Modes and Routines > More Options (three dots) > Reset to default settings.
This will reset everything back to the default, so you’ll need to reconfigure your routines and modes afterward, but it can help resolve any underlying issues caused by the update.
Since some of your routines are based on Wi-Fi, make sure the location permissions and Wi-Fi settings are configured properly: Go to Settings > Apps > Modes and Routines > Permissions and ensure that location and Wi-Fi permissions are enabled.
Double-check that your Wi-Fi settings are stable and that your phone is correctly detecting your network.
Clear Cache Partition: Sometimes clearing the cache partition can help resolve issues that arise after updates.
Turn off your phone.
Press and hold Volume Up + Power to enter Recovery Mode.
Use the volume buttons to highlight Wipe Cache Partition, then press Power to select it.
Once complete, reboot the phone and check if the issue persists.
At first, I found Sleep Modes not activated, the phone keep on mode before sleep time then the next day other modes not activated by their Routines. Sometime the routine ran properly but mostly not.
It is simple, the routines set on specific time to turn on determined mode, so on that time the mode should be switched. It was fine with OneUI6 but not after updated to OneUI7.
The history log told that the routines ran as well on their time, the mode started but soon ended on same time, bring back the previous mode reactivated. Yeah .. I saw with my eyes, each mode configure with different wallpaper to applied, the wallpapper just switched then reverted at each time routine ran.
I did delete all routines then recreate them, just for hour they become not functional.
I did delete app storage from application list: clear data and clear cache for Modes and Routines, again routines are ran properly but the trigered mode keep ended at same time then back to previous mode.
Finally, I did factory reset, .. still the issue persist.
I give up, on sleep, on wake up, at work, at home, on meal time, I switch on each mode manualy.
With me, Samsung Galaxy S23 FE, Android 15, OneUI7, Security patch level: May 1, 2025. Everyday I check for Software Update, got them twice but none addressed to this issue.
