Dunno why every Android OEM and now Android themselves are interested in replicating this stupid iOS-ism that serves no purpose other than making getting to what you want take more swipes
they are literally just shuffling shit around at this point aren’t they
When you feel that you can make money without innovating anymore, you just stop and collect your profits. Best thing about being open is that custom ROMs do some great shit for people who go that route.
Samsung did this after One UI 7 IIRC, and it was enabled as default.
Turned that off when that was introduced, and I have shown few people how to turn it off because they also didn’t like it.
My daughter has it on her phone and I always get it wrong, because I don’t have it on my phone. But I also hate the need to double swipe down to open the full quick settings. I think it’s just something to get used to.
You can disable that? How? I hate it so much
Swipe down notification panel, use the pencil button on top (left to power and settings buttons), on top left is “Panel settings” and pick together.
Thank you!
Oh boy more changes just for the sake of changing things
It’s literally an option, fucknut. Between iOS and Android style notification/qs pulldown.
The primary goal here is to convert iOS users and you do that by making familiar experiences available to them.
Well, only on the right screen sizes it is. Otherwise the ‘classic’ variant gets disabled.
That has been the case for ages on tablets and similar large screen devices…
Depending on the specific flavour of Android, afaik. Not generally.
Really? I have to be the first to make this joke? I thought somebody else would have done it by now. And in a way more clever than this, I might add.
Oh man I was excited when Android 8 came out too. Him and 16 are some of my favourite characters in the DB series.
Can’t wait for LineageOS 24.0 in 2029
Welcome back, 4.2 Jelly Bean.
Wow, yea, back to stuff being more useful, like it was
remember when i used to be excited about android releases
Wasn’t something similar already implemented in one of the older releases (and then removed)?
This had been in Lineage OS since forever.
Not that i remember, no? Not in aosp at least
I am probably misremembering, there have been so many changes to the notifications/QS that it’s difficult to keep track off.
It’s been a thing for several years on some phone brand android versions (ones I definitely know are Huawei, Samsung and Xiaomi)
Yeah this was the only option in around 2015
It’s been like this on iOS for a long time.
Up until IIRC Android 2.1, there were no quick settings - the pull-down area was strictly for notifications only. So yeah at one time it was “already implemented”.
Sounds worse.
And the ‘classic’ option will silently get removed after 6 months.
It’s literally an option. Y’know, like Android used to do.
It isn’t worse, it’s actually better because more people can now find fitting setups for their usage.
What a boring thing to leak.
Not really much innovation going on in this space tbh…
on my xiaomi 15T it is already like this, since hyperOS 3. Also that notch Media Player area, like on the iPhones I think, is enabled.
Unfortunately I am not able to change this in the settings.
They should do something about the “design” they called “material you” before trying to introduce new “features”.
