UI8 Update shrank Activity tile

[Stented57]

There doesn't seem to be any way to get the Activity (steps, active time, calories) tile to expand to "full screen" on my Galaxy Watch 4 after the update. That was unwelcome. Should default to fill the watch face if no other tiles are dragged in. The new way is harder to see.

Samsung seems to forget that their user base tends to skew older.  Old people like us tend to have presbyopia, and therefore need the text on the tiles to be as large as possible.  They also did not consider any visual impairment difficulties with their design.  At the very least they should be able to add an accessibility option to put the tiles the way they were.  I know it can be done, as when you tap on one of these tile widgets, it brings up the old format.  So, they could have just kept the old format or, as aforementioned, just make it an accessibility option.  I personally don't have an issue with the new design, but I do need my reading glasses to see the at-a-glance info on the small widgets.

Agreed, I can see enough to know what each tile is.I tap on the tile and it opens. I am not one of those that can't adapt to how things are now.

Color coding is great.

You can change font on phone and watch just remember the watch is a tiny screen to begin with

That didn't work...  We want a full-size tile.

Sorry it didn't help.

Changing watch faces will also change the font...

The person or company that invents a magnifying screen protector for the watch will make a fortune. In the meantime, the watch has a magnifier in the accessibility settings. Requires triple tap to magnify and turn off

"the watch has a magnifier in the accessibility settings. Requires triple tap to magnify and turn off" -- Cool! I would never have found that on my own! 😲
