Google is preparing a major overhaul to notifications and Quick Settings in Android 16 The good news? You might see more info in each panel. The bad news? You'll need two fingers to pull down Quick Settings. Full details + a demo can be found in my latest…
Some more progress has been made on the new Quick Settings and notification panels for Android 16!

In Android 15 QPR1 Beta 2, most of the icons are now present. However, the light theme still has contrast issues with text and you still need 2 fingers to pull down the Quick Settings.

Goodbye Extra Dim, hello Even Dimmer!

In Android 15 QPR1 Beta 2, Google is preparing to integrate Android's Extra Dim feature into the system brightness bar, so you don't have to remember to turn it off in the morning anymore.

More details can be found in this article on Android Authority.

Android 15 QPR1 Beta 2 now lets you customize the look of the mouse pointer, so you can make it easier to see.

A very small but welcome quality-of-life improvement, IMO!

For a demo of these new customization options, see my latest article for Android Authority.

Lock screen widgets and desktop windowing are two of the biggest new features in Android 15 QPR1 Beta 2...but they're exclusive to tablets.

I enabled them anyways on phones, and you can too (if you have root)! The method to enable them is available for my Patreon/X subscribers.
