Samsung's new One UI 7 beta killed a handy lock screen feature

Samsung is ditching the lock screen widgets carousel in One UI 7.

One of the big ones is the long-awaited vertical app drawer, replacing the old horizontal layout and making things feel much smoother and easier to navigate. On top of that, One UI 7 introduces the Now Bar to keep track of live activities, plus a revamped Quick Settings panel that's now separate from the notification shade. A Reddit user recently spotted, as reported by Android Authority, that the lock screen widget carousel is missing from the latest One UI 7 beta.
