Awful update of one UI 6. Recently upgraded my s22 ultra to one UI 6 and I really wanna go back. Last time I wrote about the issues in the gallery app, video player in gallery app, and notification panel. After discovering more things about new update is that now I can't play my audio in 2 different Bluetooth speakers at once using media control. I also can't switch back and forth the audio from Bluetooth speaker to my phone speaker and to achieve this I either need to disconnect the speaker or turn off the Bluetooth. This is getting absurd, day by day. These are all my daily activities in life and samsung have completely messed things around and there is no going back. Very poor update from samsung especially at the time of Christmas and season of music. The developers of this  upgrade have arbitrarily made changes without thinking about the users.

I have no issues using the buttons with my thumbs and my hands aren't really all that big, sure I have to stretch them but it's easy.

Stretching your thumb is certainly not convenient and easy.

First, if you need to stretch means that the software works against you - everything should be easy and accessible without the need to stretch. Second - by stretching your thumb, you lose the grip of your phone, making it risky to fall, because your other fingers are moving to allow thumb stretching.

My other fingers don't have to move, they stay under and behind the phone

I wish you that you will never drop your 1000 USD phone because you had to stretch your thumb to reach the most basic feature switch, because of bad UX decision that has been implemented and then deployed to the public.

If you like finger stretching, then it's good for you. But from the technical and UX point of view, One UI 6 Quick Panel design is just wrong as nobody should ever stretch to reach the most basic features and this is not an opinion but judgement of many people that spent dozens of years in UI/UX development.

I wish I had the thousand dollar Ultra, but I only have the baseline (that may be why i have no issue) And sure, it should be made more easier to access, maybe One Hand Operation + on Goodluck can help?

I don't have Ultra as well, because this phone is just too big and therefore the issue is even more prominent on that phone.

I tried Good lock, but its experience is far from convenient. I want the most basic features be accessible as they used to be.

No longer a customized quick panel except for what's in the box. Can't hide other features like dark mode comfort shield. Why is the brightness indicator so far up. Why can't I end calls in the extended quick panel anymore?

The messages are way different from the 13 as where I could totally just see if my messages sent. Now it's just those check marks at the bottom. I miss being able to know in words if someone has seen my message. SMH

If you have google messages app, then one check mark means message is sent. Two marks - delivered. 2 check marks in blue - message read.
