i really don't like how it got rid of being able to call up my assistant by swiping from the corner and replaced it with a long press of the power button. call me old fashioned but i hate how the power button is now the "side button" and samsung and other phone manufacturers keep trying to make it do more stuff than just show the power menu when you hold it down. i also hate how the quick settings and notification panel are split by default like some chinese bootleg iphone, but thankfully that's easy enough to fix.
has everyone just forgotten that you can swipe down from the status bar with two fingers to open the quick settings without having to open your notifications, and that that gesture has been a thing in android phones, not just samsung ones, for years? is there any way to bring back the corner swipe or am i just forced to live in this stupid "side button" world until if and when samsung decides to reimplement the corner swipe gesture for people who use gesture nav? will we stop dumbing down software for the lowest common denominator?

i know you can change the notification shade, that's the first thing i did after i updated. my main issue is taking away the swipe gesture for google assistant and trying to make the power button "smarter"
If they want the power button to be "special," they should make it like apples, iPhone 16, camera touch button thing, but I can't see samsung doing something new and just simply upgrading each generation
