I was opening my Wearable app. Only to get a message saying my earbuds have been moved to settings, not sure why this change is important, but now I keep forgetting it's moved and opening the wrong app.

Not that theres anything wrong with it, just a nuisance if you forget.

Why the change?

      Think it helps better with functionality.
      Plus its more of a settings setup, and streamlines the wearable app for things like the watch and ring etc.
      Personally I'd prefer an actual separate app for the Buds, to allow more features.

      It's one of those things I guess. Personally wasn't a fan of the change, but in all honesty, I rarely need to access them this way, so wasn't really worth the fuss to me.

      I think it is generally positive and has been in the works for a little while, just need to get used to it.  I guess there are conflicting opinions though.   The change may  also come to Devices running One UI7 in due course but will need to see.  Some information here https://sammyguru.com/samsung-updates-galaxy-buds-manager-apps-with-sleek-one-ui-8-design/
