I simply don't understand why Samsung went with their own implementation of digital well being feature when default google app does a perfectly good job. On top of that they made it worse rather than making it better.

Digital well being
There is no grayscale toggle to be added in top navigation bar as shown below which is present in all android phones by default.
To make matters even worse the default digital well being section doesn't have grayscale toggle as well and we are supposed to schedule for fixed night time hours instead of being able to use on our own choice.
I raised this concern last time with no resolution except some generic work arounds which are pretty useless after paying 25k for this phone.
It's simply irritating to use this phone for longer hours without this option since by default the only to do this is setting some timed hours, which is again useless.
This feature essentially reduces eye strain, helps people to sleep without impacting their eyes and should be available to use by default from top bar. That was the whole philosophy behind introducing this feature some years back by google.
But some genius in Samsung decided that lets disable the default app installation from play store, ship our own version with incomplete implementation and hope people will overlook it.
I mean how difficult is it to introduce this in one of the future updates?
Update on March 2021:- Samsung now provides an accessibility button in latest software update. I am now able to use greyscale toggle feature easily by adding accessibility button at the right side of lower navigation buttons. Thanks a lot to Samsung team for solving this issue. Leaving this thread open for others to find this solution as well.

I toggle greyscale almost 10-15 times a day like turning it off while watching video content and toggle it on at all other times.
It's a 4 step process from Developer options:-
Settings-> Developer options-> Simulate color space -> Select Monochromacy
Doing it once is ok...But imagine the case where I have to repeat this process 15-20 times a day...Almost going through 60-100 clicks for a function which should be done in 15 clicks practically.And now imagine having to do that daily for even a month's time. Hope now you understand why there is a need for this toggle on top status bar.
