Google is working on a significant revamp of Android’s notification and Quick Settings panels for Android 16.
You got me scared but that doesn’t look so significant to me. It has changed over completely for no reason other than change of change’s sake several times in the past, compared to that this is some mild evolution…
15 isn’t even widely available. It’ll be another 4 years for 16.
They’ve been doing one major release a year for a while now…
LET ME BE WRONG
Change for the sake of change. At least it seems to be in a good direction.
And here i am still with android 8…
Really not sure about this, specifically the two finger gesture bit.
Because of my physical difficulties, I use a Stylus, which is fine at the moment.
Trying to keep hold of the Stylus, whilst fumbling for the two finger swipe screen gesture, really isn’t going to work well for me.
When the time comes, I’ll probably need to look for a third party Notification Shade / Quick Settings App that gets around this.
Yet another case of aesthetics over practicality Google 👎
Still using the fat oversized buttons. No thanks.
You won’t get away from that with MD3
Unfortunately so.
No thank you.
Thanks, I hate it!
Oh Boy, Here I Go Redesigning Again!
Oops, I did it again
This is ass
I like the design of the quick settings but making QUICK settings require 2 FINGERS is horrible UX. I hope they won’t go with that.
Requiring two fingers is terrible for accessibility, should be shot down immediately.
So… now you can’t access quick settings at all with one hand? I’ve managed to avoid the stupid huge buttons so far by sticking with Samsung but can’t do that forever.
I like this menu. Seems like they target larger screens with this as it doesn’t take up the whole screen anymore. It’s like a return to the old design but with a new coat of paint.
major overhaul is doing a lot of heavy lifting for something that is effectively one extra swipe down.
