    The quick settings menu is one of the worst parts of android 15 visually, and it desperately needed a redesign. We’re getting resizable quick actions, so now we can fit 16 settings on one page instead of 8. You can now turn Bluetooth and WiFi on/off with just one tap again. Adding settings to quick settings is easier.

    More intuitive settings menu. Boring single color white/black backgrounds are now blurred wallpaper. There’s a new option for displaying notifications. There’s notification bar icons that are less weird, and more compact battery percentage. Sliders are a little clearer now (rounded colors was a terrible idea). We can now customize icon shapes.

    Can someone explain why everyone is shitting on this? I get that people here don’t like change for the sake of change, but most of these are positive, or at least neutral changes, and this fixes some gripes I’ve had with android.

      I can only speak for myself, but the quick settings menu has been terrible (IMO) since 12. They’ve gotten worse each release. So the “overhaul” is mostly just going back to the way it already was before they made it garbage. The exception being it’s still oversized and unwieldy.

      Peak quick settings (A11):
