Oh Boy, Here I Go Redesigning Again!

Still using the fat oversized buttons. No thanks.

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 / Gestures App, that gets around this.

Yet another case of aesthetics over practicality Google 👎

15 isn't even widely available. It'll be another 4 years for 16.

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.

Thanks, I hate it!

Requiring two fingers is terrible for accessibility, should be shot down immediately.

I don't agree with most of these comments, except for the swipe down with two fingers. But it still looks like it's early in development, and it'll be a while until Android 16. I don't think they'd make a two finger gesture the only way to access quick settings, especially from an accessibility standpoint. They'll probably change it.

Current stock android quick settings suck. So much wasted space. Changing some settings is inconvenient. It looks quite bad, especially the brightness slider. And editing the tiles is currently extremely slow, difficult and janky.

This change improves the looks. The number of tiles per page is changed from 8 to 12/16. Toggling WiFi or Bluetooth on/off will now take only one tap instead of three. Editing tiles looks smooth and easy.

This isn't change for the sake of change, this is a fix for one of Android's weakest points.

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 the design of the quick settings but making quick settings require 2 fingers is horrible UX. I hope they won't go with that.

Change for the sake of change. At least it seems to be in a good direction.

And here i am still with android 8....

major overhaul is doing a lot of heavy lifting for something that is effectively one extra swipe down.

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...

That's even worse than the current one wasting space with huge buttons and notifications. Has there been any good change to that menu since dark mode?
