I just want to point out the new update for the Galaxy S phone line up is . If I wanted a phone with an operating system like Apple's I would have purchased an Apple. The new update makes my phone feel like Apple and I hate their OS. Now the change isn't large at the the moment but the 2 sides for for different functions makes no sense. Everything was clean and in one spot in the drag down bar. Easy to navigate and deal with my phone. Now I have to remember which side is settings and what side is notifications and get frustrated when all I want is to turn on my flashlight. I noticed Apple adopt the left and right side thing a few years ago, cool good for them it was different from android whooo. So this update might force me to look at a different phone brand.

The only thing that looks like a iPhone is the 2 swipe and it can be changed back to the old way

Quick Notification settings

  1. Swipe down from the top right of the screen.
  2. Click the Pencil icon in upper right.
  3. Click the Panel settings in upper left
  4. Change the setting from Separate to Together.

Thank you for the fix. Didn't spend the time to look through all the settings in the update. Still don't like the mimicry of Apple.

That’s the only thing that can’t be moved right now maybe in a future update

All these un needed changes but why can't they just add the one useful one and add home screen and app drawer looping 😂

I feel you with the whole mimicking apple layout. I'm not a fan either, but I still love all the options we get with samsung.
