    I dont keep up with apple products anymore, what did samsung do to mimic them in one UI 7? I thought they just added a couple of nothing features from stock android.

      They split the notification shade and control panel into two separate screens, accessed via a swipe down from either the top left or top right portions of the phone. It’s quite similar to how iOS has worked for a long time now. I can see the benefits if you’re someone who receives a lot of notification spam, because now you can see more of that on a single screen, but I’ve always been very strict with app notifications so it’s essentially watered down the usefulness of both. It’s far from the end of the world, though, and I’m sure I’ll get used to it.

        Oh! I quite like that change. I guess it’s similar to apple in that it’s separatated notofocations from quick settings, but doesn’t apple have a swipe up and swipe down? Or is it double pressing the home button? I haven’t held an iPhone in many years now, so i can’t remember. But how you access the two menus is different. I dont think an apple user who tried android for the first time would intuitively know how to access the two menus. So i wouldn’t say samsung had copied apple. Rather, they have been influenced by the idea. Plus, i believe stock android has this as an option in versions 15 and 16

        That aside. You can go into your settings and swap back to the old notification shade.
