I was looking around everywhere to share this feedback with Samsung and I guess this is the only place to do that. I just updated my One UI to 7 and this Notifications/ Panel feature where you pull down from the left for Notifications and right for the panel has me pulling my hair out!!! 

There should be an option to flip it. Personally, I view my notifications more than the panel and since I have small hands, every time I try to pull down notifications now, I get the panel. It's annoying and there NEEDS to be the option to flip sides especially since: one, some people have small hands and because of that have a hard time with it, and two, depending which hand is dominant it could be an issue with people that can reach it fine but would rather not reach across the screen for the notifications.

My daughter loves it... BUT SHE IS ALSO LEFT HANDED 😂. She tends to hold her phone in her left hand so the notifications are an easy reach for her and her small hands.

Just some thoughts! Thanks!

Thank you. That is good to know in case I just can't get the hang of it!

The issue is that I actually really like the feature! I am just having a really hard time actually being able to use it (effectively).

At least I can go back to the old way if I get too much of a headache I guess. 😮💨

I hate this. Why would Samsung think it's a good idea to put **bleep** in the way suit constantly having to swipe. I want to turn it off all together and make my phone like it was before but it doesn't seem like I can do that. This is so irritating I want to throw my phone out the window on the interstate.

Search for Live Notifications

Here's what it says:
For Live notifications to appear for an app, Allow notifications, Lock screen notifications, and Show content on Lock screen must be turned on in the app's notification settings.

I did all this, and the notifications show up on the lock screen just like they did before the stupid update.

Hope it helps.

Hey, remember when they launched Bixby.  OMG, what an annoying app thingie.  I was glad back then you could turn it off, I hated it so hard.  But now, it seem to be back, It dont get in my way too much, maybe because I had it turned off before I dont know, but I hate clutter.  I have bad OCD and dont like to see clutter all over my screens, just the essentials, and necessary Apps, and notifications, when I want to see them.  I feel for all the neat freaks out there with all the clutter on phone screens, like on Apple.  That is why I got a Samsung, but now, this is turning into an Apple phone.  And I hate it.  Hate it I say.  I guess this now is the war between the foreign companies and American.  I still love my foreign company made products, so I guess I have to make the sacrifice and put up with these nonsense they institute.

Seriously! Why does the update get to dictate how I want my phone to be.
