Google is working on a redesign of Quick Settings that might launch with Android 16. Quick Settings have largely stayed the same since...

    Seems like the comeback of a more sane system. I just wish they stopped using so many circles or such huge rounded corners that enforce smaller and smaller text and icons.

    Edit: I’d also love not to be harassed when I turn off GPS google data addict freaks.

          Only if you don’t trust what’s using it, but both it and the app I linked are open source, so I personally consider the risk to be minimal.

          It also has a permission system, you have to allow each app that uses it. (Just like root managers such as Magisk)

    My brother in Christ and all his disciples, can we just go back to the quick settings from Android 11 that is accessible when holding and using the phone with one hand and has more than 4 options? Or, and I know this sounds CRAZY, give users a choice? If you are going to harp on Apple about locking their ecosystem down, then when you introduce new methods of navigation keep some way of going back to the old way.

    I can even do this in the shit box that is Windows 11. I finally had to use and interact with it for the first time this week, and with the installation of two programs I was able to get the start menu, taskbar, and right click menu back to the way I want. Even installing Lineage OS on my phone can’t get me back to the old quick settings tiles as far as I am aware of.

      Nope. They’re going to shove those graphic design skills down your throat whether you like it or not. Remember though it’s not because corporations hate you, it’s because they love money. I’m not sure how that translates here but I’m sure it makes somebody money somehow so it’s suffering for us!

    I’m so tired of this bubble settings crap. This seems like a step in the right direction.

    One thing that pisses me off with modern UI design is the lack of labels beside icons.

    looks a bit more saner… imo they’re making such huge rounded+padding ui to sell bigger display panels lol. doesn’t help ux at all when the text isn’t any bigger.

    Can we as a society STOP WITH THESE FUNCKING REDESIGNS?! We had ir right with Android whatever 3 or 4 vesions ago. No need to redo what is functional and we’re used to.

    And it’s not just Android. Windows 11 is inventing the wheel all over again. Like dude, you did it with Windows 10. Why are you remaking everything? Just maintain, fix bugs and from time to time a feature that’s needed.

    I feel like more and more IT companies are changing designs just for the sake of looking fresh.

    EDIT:
    Wait, Android 16? I don’t remember hearing about Android 15, did I miss something?
