When people send multiple pics in a single text, the pics are now grouped visually in a grid rather than stacked one on top of another, the way they used to be (this just started recently). How can I change this back to the previous way of displaying them? Thanks.

Thanks for the very helpful info!

Perhaps you're right. I do have the Bitdefender Security app on my phone. And, among other things, DuckDuckGo stops my apps from being tracked. Are you saying that these are not enough protection?

Which apps will stop working? One UI 8 has been out for two months and I am on 6.1 and all my apps still seem to be working fine.

How do I do monthly security updates? I went to "security and privacy" in settings, tapped "updates" and was taken to a screen where it said "security update". When I tapped on this, I was taken to the One UI 7 update page, which I don't want.

I presently have a Galaxy A 15 5G phone, and I still have One UI 6.1 and Android 14. I have two questions: --Is there any reason not to stay with this? I have read a number of stories about problems with upgrading to One UI 7 and 8. --And if/when I decide to get a new phone some day, will...

I am not here to debate the value of Samsung's One UI 7 update. From what I have read, many like it and many don't. I just want to know if there is a way to not allow this update to be downloaded and installed on my phone (Galaxy A15 5G). BTW - I have turned off "Auto download over Wi-Fi" in...

Great! Thanks!

Thanks! I'll check it out. What's the difference between free and pro versions? (other than cost and ads)

A friend of mine has a Moto G Power (2021) phone and needs a way to export and store her Google Messages app text messages on a computer and then import the messages into a different phone and have the messages stored and usable in Google Messages app on the new phone, and doesn't want to use...

I figured it out. On her computer, in Outlook, I found an old gmail email referencing her phone setup.

Nothing listed there. And it is only "account", not "account and backup". I don't know where "backup" is
