Samsung One UI Home should add ‘Vertical Apps Screen’ option

Samsung phones are unquestionably amazing, thanks to One UI software for making them frankly amazing. The company also has a home screen launcher namely One UI Home that lets users customize the home screen and apps screen, as per their entail.

Meanwhile, there’s still has a big issue, at least for around half of Samsung consumers, which is related to the layout of the Apps Screen. Everyone knows, the Galaxy devices feature two options for showcasing the apps including Apps on homescreen or on the Apps screen alongside keeping the homescreen.

Almost all the consumers use the 2nd option in which they keep their most-used apps on homescreen, while the apps directory is on the Apps screen. Now, talking about the structure of the Apps screen, which is Horizontal, like the pages of a book, and I don’t like it.

From the homescreen, when we swipe up to access the Apps screen, it showcases us the directory of apps, while we can explore the remaining ones on the 2nd, 3rd…and so on pages. In this case, it’s difficult to open an app, which is placed at the top of the Apps screen with one hand.

On the other hand, this layout of the Apps screen reduces the usability for some users as well as generates unnecessary concerns. Vertical layout, on the other hand, would be the right option as we can simply scroll up and down to navigate an app.

Despite this, we can’t turn the Apps screen structure from horizontally paginated to Vertical on Samsung phones. Previously, consumers expected that the Android 12-based One UI 4.0 update will bring an option to enable the Vertical Apps screen but Samsung didn’t introduce it.

Even, the company is currently rolling out the new One UI 4.1 update to the Galaxy devices, which also lacks the most-anticipated option to turn Apps screen Vertical. Well, we can use the Good Lock suite to force the One UI for Vertical Apps screen but it’s not entirely useful as it lags and shows recommended rows at the top.

Like other Samsung consumers, I want Samsung to bring the Vertical Apps Screen option to the One UI Home (system launcher) with future updates. What do you think about it, let us know in the comment box and don’t forget to participate in our poll, mentioned below.
