Drives me nuts every time I have to look at her phone for any reason.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>I would hope hiding the page indicators is a choice, not that they are just gone.&nbsp; I quickly got used to the vertical scroll in the app drawer, so there are no more pages, but it's convenient for me to tap on the page indicator to switch between my two home screens rather than swipe.&nbsp; Seems I was always unconsciously trying to swipe up in the app drawer anyway - it's a more natural movement when one is used to scrolling on phone screens.</P> Sun, 24 Aug 2025 23:33:56 GMT realaud 2025-08-24T23:33:56Z
