As per title, updated without knowing how much it would ruin my day to day experience. 
Can't undo update(apparently).
Can't use settings to go back to feeling and using the way I used to.
Problems I'm trying to revert include:
-Media widget on lock screen back to permanently under the time. My phone sits upright, with the bottom behind a panel and I can't easily control my media now.
-1x4 clock widget back to showing time and date, NOT looking like a timer(I don't need to know the seconds of the day).
-open applications back to side scrolling, NOT stacked.
-system icon for battery to NOT be an oval with a number in it. I really liked the battery icon.
-volume bar to be back to thinner and darker.
-app tray can be worked around to what it was, but shouldnt have been touched.
-weather widget cuts off half of my temp info in 1x4.

Honestly, of all the functions they added, I honestly don't think I will use any of them. But, these are things I interact with every day that have made my s24u the best phone I've ever had to "meh, could have bought an iPhone".

Absolutely disgusted with the latest update. I dont want the bubble icon on the battery either. What was wrong with the old one. Can't get rid of it. They have squished all the widgets so it's all jambed up into 65 percent of the screen instead of using 80 percent like before. I won't use any of the garbage they have put on the update. They shouldn't change user settings. But offer the option of change. I love my s27 but am so disappointed with how it looks now. So bloody frustrating

Agree. Make the changes optional. Let people decide to use them. Don't force it onto people.

Im over all these blooming changes. I dont like the battery bubble why change it from what it actually is. Also apps just scrolling really who engineered this childish rubbish. My phone now looks like a 2000s reject. Do updates by all means but stop playing around with peoples set ups so frustrating. If i wanted an older phone i would have stayed with older 2020 phone.

Absolutely agree.
Yes, make an update, give people the option, but don't FORCE it upon users.

I'm doubtful.
Its like samsung doesn't care and just wants to copy apple as much as possible.
