New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on February 15, 2022) follows:
In the last few years, Samsung has outdone itself and is now one of the best Android smartphone manufacturers. In November last year, the company updated the Samsung Calendar app with support for One UI 4.
The update brought in several changes and new features such as a new widget that can display the schedule for the day or month, in-depth search options, and the ability to recover deleted events.
But a recent update to the One UI 4.0 Calendar app is making a lot of users angry.
Inconsistent theme
Many users say (1,2,3) the latest Calendar app has made the overall theme inconsistent. Dates with events now have a slightly gray background.
This is making it hard for many to check if a date has an event associated with it without expanding the calendar.
Unable to adjust widget transparency
As it turns out, users are unable to adjust the Calendar widget transparency after the latest update. The change seems to be frustrating for a lot of users.
You can see in the image below what the new Calendar widget looks like.
Appointments whited-out
Last but not the least, users are reporting that the update has whited-out all of their appointments, making it hard to see future appointments.
Samsung Calendar users are really angry with the recent update to the app and are demanding that the developers revert the changes.
We hope the developers listen to their user base and revert the changes in a future update. As always, we’ll keep an active track of the developments on this one and update the story, as and when required.
