The changes that Android 16 will receive are going to be very striking in certain aspects, such as the notification bar. Although there is one who will save the possibility of Turn Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection off or on with a single tap. Better yet, Google is going to give the whole quick setup experience a twist for both connections.
In Android 12, one of the biggest changes was to Quick Settings to require two taps: one to access the Bluetooth or WiFi panel and another to disable the connection. Not all custom layers work this way, and Samsung in One UI plays with a single key to disable or enable these connections on the icon of both, and another on the area in which each is located to access the panel.
And that’s where the shots go in Android 16 to get back one-touch activation of any of these connections and looks more like Samsung’s One UI 6. Google wants to modernize the quick settings panel experience with Android 16 and will even allow you to change their size.
The important thing now comes after one of the Android Authority readers realized that the button that now forms the WiFi icon o Bluetooth can be tapped to enable or disable the connection, and if you tap in the rest of the area, as with Samsung’s One UI, you access the panel for the selected connection.
What this means, explains Android Authority’s Mishall Rahman, is that Clicking on the WiFi icon turns it on or offand the same thing happens with Bluetooth. Thus, a function very hated by many users could return next year, while in 2021 they found that you had to press twice to perform the same action as before.
We will have to see if it appears in Android 16, an update that seems to be coming in its final version much earlier than expectedit could even be done before summer, and thus move on to betas soon in order to refine the improvements and optimize the system so that it arrives in the best possible state.
