Android 17 is expected to introduce a significant update to Quick Settings, featuring a revamped layout and enhanced toggles.
Changes in Layout
The Quick Settings panel in Android 17 is rumored to implement a cleaner, split layout, replacing the current unified design. Users would access notifications by swiping from the left and Quick Settings from the right.
- Google is testing a split view for better organization.
- Current Android has a single pull-down interface for notifications and toggles.
- Users of Pixel devices may choose between combined and separate layouts.
- This change may be mandatory on larger screens like tablets and foldables.
Improved Toggles
Android 17 aims to separate Wi-Fi and mobile data toggles, reversing the merged Internet toggle from Android 12.
Google is reportedly exploring faster, more accessible layouts in early builds. This could offer quicker one-tap access. However, these features are subject to change before the final release.
The revamped design could align with existing interfaces by Samsung and Xiaomi, standardizing the user experience across devices.
