Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 43 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers expressed significant dissatisfaction with recent software updates, finding them to be detrimental to their phone's functionality and user experience. People reported numerous issues, including rapid battery drain, apps not working correctly, and difficulties with basic phone operations like transferring photos or restarting the device. The updates were often described as making the phones nearly useless, with some even considering switching brands despite being long-time users. Reviewers also highlighted frustrating changes to the user interface, such as altered layouts, smaller icons, and awkward navigation for settings and notifications. Some people mentioned issues with specific features like the camera not working properly, problems with predictive text, and the forced integration of unwanted applications. The overall sentiment was that the updates complicated usage rather than improving it, leading to a less intuitive and more frustrating experience for many.

Latest update made everything so much…

Latest update made everything so much worse! Please go back to the previous version! I can't find a single thing that's improved. Just really user unfriendly now. Particularly hate the change in swiping down for settings or new messages, so awkward! Why??

samsung update

The latest samsung update is absolutely useless. It's change the look of a lot of apps, the battery charging level display and the battery display in the top right hand corner is that small I have to go into settings to see the battery level. The battery drains so quickly I'm having to charge it 4 times a day.
When I renew my phone next month it won't be samsung.

This new update is absolute rubbish

This new update is absolute rubbish. Whoever facilitated the most recent update needs a stern talking to and needs to develop their skills in this area. In addition to all the other update issues, my phone is constantly going flat - I can't recall the last time it was full and stayed that way for a decent amount of time. I'm the mother of a young baby who does not have time and energy to constantly be charging my phone and having phones going flat. I detest IPhones, but after this update, I'm seriously cobsidering changing brands for my next phone purchase. Fix it, please.

The new update is very bad .Nothing not even a single app is working properly. Whenever Iam trying to swith off my mobile some Gemini message papers which is very disturbing. I don't require Gemini in my phone then it was implemented forcefully.Samsung should ask for the permission first. Truly very bad and very frustrating the new update is got very disappointed with Samsung

Need someone new in charge of updates

Whomever is in charge of samsung updates needs to be replaced. Latest updates continue to cause service interruptions, faster battery drain and poor performance. Have had Samsung for many years and never have had so many issues. And yes, I have their Flagship phone. About 2 minutes away from getting rid of Samsung for another brand. I cannot continue to wait for Samsung to fix what they have broken. Clearly very disappointed.

Malfunctioning updates, need old system restored

Battery drains super fast now. Can't detect what background installment is now eating up my power so I'm charging very frequently. Do not disturb malfunctions - constantly ending several hours before the set time so notifications start blaring few hours before I'm to wake up. Why is Samsung making me lose sleep?? Calculator now has a "zero" that you must remember to clear before computing anything accurately. Easy fix is for developer to put it as a leading rather than trailing zero. Many other user interface annoyances and malfunctions - enough to make me seriously consider dropping Samsung.

Garbage Update

The update is absolute garbage. The apps on the screenare smaller, everything is different, callers can't hear me and battery is draining fast. There was nothing wrong before the update and my phone is barely a year old.I guess this where I part ways with Samsung, won't buy another one.

F YOU SAMSUNG

Why did they change the whole goddamn layout?? It was not even based on bad feedback from users. They just change bull shit for fun? You have lost a lot of customisation. This is so frustrating to have things changed without being asked for it. Goddamn idiots at samsung. I think its time to boycot apple and samsung now.

Too many updates on the Samsung phone…

Too many updates on the Samsung phone from every app designer and once I trigger the updates all kinds of settings go to hell and I have to go back into the settings and search out why I'm having keyboard trouble or any other kind of trouble stop with the updates already don't you have enough information on me already don't tell me the updates are forcing the apps to work better and for me to have a better experience because it's quite the opposite

What the hell

What the hell? Why was I not warned that this was not just a security update? I absolutely hate it and I want the older version back. I especially hate that I have to swipe in two different sides to get all the features I used ALL THE TIME before. This is completely annoying. And I am seriously thinking about switching phones.
