New 1.26 MCPE hotbar and menu buttons are too small

In the recent v26.0 update, on Minecraft pocket edition, the menu buttons, hotbar and other buttons such as the profile button are now much smaller than before and make the game difficult to play on an iPad and impossible on a phone, especially the hotbar. Muscle memory is the reason I’m good at this game, and when the buttons are changed, I have to completely re-learn how to play and it’s frustrating. I know that you can adjust the d-pad and jump button, but with the new update, the hotbar is too small even with GUI at its largest scale and it can’t be adjusted the same way. I really enjoy this game and am currently paying for realms, so I’d like to kindly ask if we could get at least an option to change it back if not just changing it back completely, and maybe even some consideration on not changing the controls at all anymore on PE? Nobody is asking for new ones, and changing them again just makes it more difficult for everybody as a game that relies on muscle memory. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and have a nice day.

    Yeah just noticed this issue. The game is completely unplayable. Hotbar and health bar are microscopic. Can’t tap anything on mobile. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

    Loved the previous patch's sizing for the hotbar and menu for item selection, just for this patch it became too small. Please fix this issue.

    Thanks

    Please fix this. It is so difficult to manage inventory with it being so small on the screen.

    It was literally perfect before! This is the single worst change to pocket edition since I began playing the game. At the very least give players the choice to have the old button sizes or better yet just put it back to the way it was before. I can't even enjoy this new update it is just that bad!

    Noticed it immediately after updating it on my ipad. The menu and hotbar are soo small, I can barely click the items in the hotbar or I end up accidentally swiping out the app entirely. Please fix it

    I would also appreciate this being fixed, it make the game far more difficult to play for no reason. Bringing the health and hunger back to the bottom would also be helpful

    I can't believe this actually passed testing and went ahead! The game is completely unplayable for my child now.

    Same issue for me too. It’s difficult with chests/shulkers etc as the display of the items has changed as well so all my storage is going to need to be redone to fit the new style. I can barely see my hot bar and it’s difficult to tell between similar blocks like stone and andesite. The coordinates are also pushed up really high on the screen as well.

    This is EXTREMELY annoying, I have it so the app updates automatically and I went to fight and died because I couldn’t switch to my sword. Who actually agreed to this? It was fine before.

    Yeah! I was so surprised when I opened the game today. The new menu layout totally stinks. Please make the buttons big again.
