GoKawiilSamsung updates Galaxy Store, moves Menu to bottom navigation bar
Samsung has released version 6.6.18.22 of the Galaxy Store, relocating the Menu option from the top-left hamburger icon to the floating bottom bar. The bottom bar now holds four items: Apps, Games, My Galaxy, and Menu. The update is rolling out globally to Galaxy devices, including those running One UI 8.5 and One UI 9.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Moving the Menu to the bottom bar could make it easier to reach on larger devices like foldables and Ultra-sized phones, where top-corner icons are harder to access one-handed. The change also crowds the bottom bar further, which could prompt debate over interface clutter even as it improves reachability.
