After a year of waiting, Android 15 is now official, and it seems that from next October we will see how to start updating the first devices that will receive this new version. Always It’s unclear exactly what all the new features will be.However, the first leaks talking about Android 16 have already been revealed.
This version of the operating system is not expected until 2025, so there is still plenty of time to see what’s new. However, it seems that Google didn’t have time to include all the features it wanted
One of them would be the new quick settings bar. This would be changed so that users have access to more but tons
All the news
Android has a section in the notification bar in which there are several buttons through which we can do things like turn off or turn on the WiFi, activate the flashlight or even deactivate the camera and microphone of the mobile. Thanks to this you can change many functions of the device without having to enter the settings section.
Of course, this is one of the most useful things about Android, and for Android 16, it could get even better. According to leaks from Android Authority It seems that Google has decided to change this section to faster settings icons appear.
This change would be pretty simple. Currently, the quick settings are split into two columns with different cards, which are split into multiple pages that you can flip through to find the setting you’re looking for. With the new changes, not all of the quick settings would be in card form, but there would be a small section where they would be in the form of circular buttons, which would take up a little less space and allow for more items to be displayed on the screen.
A similar way of doing things to the one used by Xiaomi with HyperOS, although the Chinese company usually integrates more level bars, and Under Android 16, only brightness would be present. Of course, this can be a good way to make this section even more versatile so that users don’t have to jump from page to page looking for the quick adjustment they need.
