Restore Paginated App Drawer in One UI 7

One UI 7 introduced a scrolling app drawer, a change from the traditional paginated view. This update has proven divisive among users. If you prefer the older style, here's how to switch back.

Reverting to App Drawer Pages

  1. Open the app drawer on your Galaxy phone.
  2. Tap the three-dot menu button at the bottom.
  3. Select "Sort," then choose "Custom order."

This setting restores the paginated app drawer. While not a direct option, this method allows users to revert to the familiar layout.
