Don't forget the collapsed view, where you could fit twice as many toggles as the bullshit we have now.

[–] keyez@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I like the differences from swiping on the right or left though I hope you can customize the size of those areas like LineageOS for easier one handed use, that's how I had my previous phone setup essentially. Not a fan of getting rid of pages personally but like they're bringing the full customizability to the toggles like NothingOS15 has currently.

This is great - I really dislike the current horizontal scroll when there's still so much unused screen space.

Google is continuing its work to split up Android’s notifications and Quick Settings panels.

Holy shit, can we stop copying this stupid feature from the iPhone???
Sure hope there's a setting to keep both together (OneUI does this), I find the split panels so annoying

US companies think the world is the same as America, so if Apple does something, everyone scrambles to copy for the sake of picking up their dregs. Samsung have already implemented this UX, so Google are now outliers, they've kinda got no choice.

This looks absolutely horrible for one handed users.

The two hardest regions to reach on the phone.

I hope they maintain the "double swipe down" gesture as well.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 23 hours ago

You can pull down on the left or right of your home screen

[–] iamhazel@beehaw.org 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Good. I hate the double swipe down to adjust brightness.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 day ago

god android was so much better before like… 2016. never forget what's been taken from you

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So they put the WiFi and mobile data toggles back? And made the rest a sensible size again? No? Bugger.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You can resize all the toggles now

Sorry, is this in current android or the beta? I'd love to know how

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 2 points 1 day ago

Beta. It'll be available in Android 16

[–] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 day ago

Gross, it looks way too much like iOS for my taste. Glad I'm switching away from Google controlled android anyway, I'll be customized back to the old stuff if I have to.
