UI 4.1 - recent apps replaced with recommended apps... fix?

[inorga]

Does anyone else have their recent apps replaced with recommended apps with no remedy in the latest UI update? I constantly use the recent apps because there are a few apps I use all the time, but now it seems that I don't have that option anymore, and it only gives me a listing for stock apps from Samsung that I never use... I've gone through the settings, in the logical places, but it appears I don't have a proper option to change this... It just allows me to use recommended apps or not have anything show up when I hit the recents button... is there a remedy for this?

So freaking annoying. I sent a message to the help desk. Hopefully we'll hear something back...

Good luck with that..

Found something...

It seems that Samsung "moved" the "Show suggested apps into a program called "finder".  I ran across it by clicking on the "search" field next to the 3 dots. If you then click on the 3 dots only AFTER clicking on the search THE BEHAVOR CHANGES. You then can access the "Finder settings" instead of the "Recents settings".  Here i just toggled on everything, but the "Show suggested apps" option is now here.

Not sure how to make suggested apps part of the Reccents UI but it's a lead....

I am having the same issue here. Recent apps was like the most useful thing ever and i don't understand why Samsung changed it. Why?! I mean why would you? Nonsense!

Really bad decision. Just updated my version only to find one of the features that was helping me the most completely destroyed. Horrible decision...

Yep. Just commenting in hopes that this thread keeps getting traction.

This is one of the worst changes I've ever seen in a phone software update.  I had to turn off the recent apps bar completely.  I've been a long time android user and don't use very many Samsung specific apps and still prefer their Google alternatives (Message, Contact, etc.).

Having same issue on my Note20U. Very annoying to see 4 apps that I've never used on one of the most accessed screens on my phone. 

Samsung needs to give a response on this.

Keep the thread alive.

Yeah, this is complete BS. I'm hoping it's a bug rather than a conscious decision. The update hit my N20 Ultra. Now it's coming for my tablet. Going to try to not update for as long as possible. I'm just going to stop buying Samsung for my next devices if this doesn't get fixed.

Same here on note 10+. Very stupid change, hope Samsung fixes this ASAP. Had to make my own widget that pops up when I go to recents screen but it's just not the same
