Is there a way to revert back to One UI 6.1 on S23 Ultra? 7.0 is ugly and for sure it's a downgrade. For the first time in my life after being a diehard fan of Samsung for almost two decades, I am thinking of switching to another brand. Please bring back One UI 6.1 with all its widgets or many will switch to other Android brands or even iPhone.

I think its great. What widgets did you lose? If anything, there is way more widget functionality.

Hi MJCan,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

We understand that the transition to One UI 7.0 may not align with everyone's personal preferences, especially in terms of visual changes and the updated design direction.

At this time, there is no official way to revert back to One UI 6.1 on the Galaxy S23 Ultra once the device has been updated. Samsung does not support software rollbacks due to security and compatibility policies.

Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us. We've noted your concerns regarding aesthetics, widget layout, and overall usability, and will be sure to share them with the relevant teams for review.

In the meantime, you may find more flexibility by exploring Good Lock (available via the Galaxy Store.

We truly appreciate your continued support as a Galaxy user, and we hope to restore your confidence with upcoming updates and improvements.

I did not like it at first, but after using it for many weeks, it has grown on me. Phone is much smoother, and "things" seem to flow together much better.

There is no such thing of opting out of updates on the s23 ultra. Mine wants to update tonight at 3am. This is criminalA

I just got it. The wigets, home clock & aod changed again. All goodlock setings are lost. Its like the 2nd time in a year we have to start over... yet I was able to migrate my settings, background & apps on 7 devices until now; where my daily phone feels like it resets overnight... 🤮

I can imagine your frustration. I've been through this a few days ago. I am switching to another brand whenever there's a time for replacement.
