- A Samsung moderator commented on a user’s community forum post about Good Lock’s missing vertical app drawer layout.
- The moderator claims the option is “being prepared for support in the next OS version.”
- This suggests support may be added natively to One UI 7.
When it comes to Android, Samsung has a tendency to march to the beat of its own drum. For example, the company has long avoided using seamless updates on its phones. However, back in March, the tech giant caved in and started implementing the feature in new phones like the Galaxy A55. Another commonly used feature among Android phones that Samsung has stubbornly avoided is vertically scrolling app drawers. But it looks like the Galaxy phone maker could soon change its stance on this as well.
Currently, app drawers on One UI store apps in pages, requiring you to swipe left or right to navigate. Although Samsung’s Android skin doesn’t support vertically scrolling app drawers, there was an option in Good Lock’s Home Up module that allowed users to change this layout. However, after an update, Samsung removed this option from the module.
