    Shit, Samsung dropped a recent update that turned my S24 into an iPhone. It’s the most annoying update and makes me want to root my phone.

      Thank God I’m not the only one who absolutely hates this. Over a decade ago, I used an iPhone for a month before returning it for an Android because I hated it so much.

        Just be careful, Nova Launcher is owned by a user telemetry collection company now and the majority of the original dev team was kicked from the project not too long ago.

        That was enough reason for me to lose trust in them and switch to something else. If the app hasn’t gotten shady yet, I feel it is only a matter of time.

          I am aware. I haven’t noticed anything yet but I do plan on looking into an alternative next time I have to buy a new phone. My note 20 ultra is 5 years old at this point, but I don’t have a reason to upgrade yet. I like my pen and SD card.

      Yup and there is no way to roll it back.

      If I wanted and apple product I would have bought an apple product. This is my last Samsung device after being all in on Samsung - tablet, earbuds, phone, watch, no more…
