About this guide

After the update, older instructions, including some of Samsung's own pages, point to rows that are no longer there. These are the changes we found on our own phone, each with the full guide linked.

The screenshots are from a Samsung Galaxy A57 5G with One UI 8.5 and Android 16. We only looked at these screens on our phone and changed nothing.

Good to know

Looking for a setting that is not listed here? Open Settings and use the search at the top; it finds rows by name even after they move.
