One UI 8 - Widget font size

[johngcan]

Is this a bug or what? Widgets are zoomed in or with bigger fonts. Tried everything, but does not change. Please fix this. Below are screenshot comparison before and after the update with the same layout.

Hi johngcan,

We regret to hear that you are not satisfied with the changes introduced in the recent update. Please be informed that some features have been modified as part of this update. Since you have already proceeded with the update, reverting to the previous version is unfortunately not an option.

To help you with this, here are a few alternative steps you can try:

Check Display Settings

• Go to Settings > Display and verify the Scale and Layout options.

• Ensure the Text size and Display resolution are set to your preferred values.

Reset Accessibility Settings

• Navigate to Settings > Accessibility.

• Review Text size, Magnifier, or Display zoom options and reset them if needed.

Thanks for replying. I've tried all but it's still the same.

Unfortunately, the alternative steps outlined above will not fully restore the previous widget layout behavior. Samsung has simplified this feature in One UI 8, resulting in the removal of certain customization options. However, if you find the new feature unsatisfactory, please be assured that we will take your feedback into consideration for future updates.

Sounds good. I appreciate your help.

Thank you so much, johngcan

Did you Update One UI Home? 

I use Nova Launcher myself, but there's an update for One UI Home Up, which is supposed to give quite a bit more customization. It may give you what you are looking for?

Yes I got the update. I ended up making the widgets smaller using DIY to get that minimalist look again. Not quite like what it was before, but better than nothing.

Same here 😪
Widgets for some reason are zoomed in and fonts are bigger.
Some of them now has more text information and with different font sizes, making it look more cluttered and inconsistent across all widgets 😢
Honestly, looks like a bug, or beta version. Definitely not like a finished version.
OneUI 7 widgets were cleaner and consistent in the look, while these are total visual mess.

After looking online and coming across a similar post, I also think it's a bug. Just have to hope for a fix to come.
