Samsung upgrade has made my phone so slow. Even to send a text takes a long time

[Android Central Question]

I did not have this issue prior to the upgrade. Sad to say I might have to switch over to an iphone. It is just so slow and its annoying.

What phone do you have and was it a major update?

If it was major upgrade you may need to do a factory reset.
But first make sure to backup everything: pictures, videos, contacts. And maybe messages, too.

Welcome to Android Central! If you're talking about the S7, there have been a number of complaints about the Oreo update. Try wiping the cache partition: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-28028.

Remember, Samsung is not synonymous with Android. I've used Pixel/Nexus phones for years, and have never had problems with slowdowns after a major system update. You don't have to go to an iPhone just because of problems with one Android phone.
