I've got a frustration I need to share, and I'm sure some of you feel it too!
On my previous Samsung phone (with One UI 6), accessing Gemini was incredibly intuitive. A simple swipe up or a slide from the side of the screen would instantly launch it. This made it super convenient for quick summaries, searches, or just asking a question on the fly. I used Gemini all the time because of how easy it was to access!
Now, with One UI 7, that seamless gesture is gone. To activate Gemini, I have to awkwardly reposition my hand to press and hold the power button. It's a small change, but it's made a huge difference in how often I use Gemini. My usage has dropped significantly because of this added friction.
I'm really hoping Samsung can bring back the gesture-based activation for Gemini. It was a fantastic feature that greatly improved the user experience.
What are your thoughts? Have you noticed this too? Let's make our voices heard and bring back the convenience!
I agree. Bottom swipe in was a muscle memory for most of us. As a workaround I have removed Gemini access from power button and brought a Gemini shortcut on home screen.
