I have an S21 ultra. I used to have vertical scrolling and it was removed by some update. I'm sick of not having vertical scrolling and am sicker of hearing it's coming back in 6.1.1 and then not receiving 6.1.1. Now I'm reading that it won't be until one ui 7. Geeze! I dislike this phone because of this and wish I still had my Google Pixel. Only reason I got this phone was to connect two Bluetooth speakers. Vertical scrolling is a must have feature if you have apps that go from A to Z and WHO DOESN'T?

GRRRRR.

I'm sorry to hear this vertical app scroll will return at some point, we don't have a date as to when it will return. I personally don't like it and prefer the way it is now

So you are probably the only person on the planet that enjoys countlessly swiping left and right to find an app when with vertical scrolling you simply scroll from A to Z with one swipe to find an app.

That's why they make a SEARCH box; and the little page dots at the bottom are shortcuts, so you can tap a dot to the location where your app lies in alpha order. 

To me, there is absolutely no difference between scrolling up on a vertical scroll and scrolling right to left on a horizontal scroll, so if that's your reasoning behind wanting a vertical scroll, it's illogical. Esthetically, I much prefer the horizonal scroll. If vertical scroll does come back, I would hope they make the scroll type optional, or at least changeable with Good Lock.

It's the same you either have to swipe left and right or wipe up and down

In the interim while waiting, try a third party Home App... almost all of them are better and provide much more customization than the stock Samsung app..

I didn't mention Nova because of the uncertainty surrounding it's future..it's a great launcher.
