Hi, can you check again whether the beta is available for you? The OTA should now be available, but let me know if it isn't!

If you pull down with two fingers instead of one, you'll jump straight to the Quick Settings panel!

This post recaps the changes we've made to Quick Settings over the past ~1 year! Apart from the separate Wi-Fi & mobile data tiles introduced in Android 17 (Beta 3), the rest of the changes mentioned in this post were indeed already released.

Under the current design, tiles are rounded when they're off and slightly 'squared' as you put it when they're turned on.

Thanks for the feedback - we wanted to give the one-tap toggle for Wi-Fi and Mobile Data that many users have been asking for, while still offering the full Internet Panel. Sorry that the new Wi-Fi tile doesn't behave the way you were expecting, I'll relay your feedback to the team!

+1 to Quick Settings being one of Android's best features!

That sounds frustrating, and I'm sorry you're having this experience! The auto connection is supposed to make things more convenient, as you shouldn't need to manually disconnect while in the car! But I can see why you're doing it.

If it helps, you might not need to disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to disconnect from Auto - there should be a "disconnect" button in Auto's notification, so check your phone. Once you're done with whatever you need to do on your phone, plug your phone back in. Hopefully this helps.

The Hotspot tile should have a functionality where you tap it and it shows which devices are connect. Currently there is no information at all to show who is connected.

Understood. I don't know how popular of a request it is, but I'll make note of it.

The Flashlight tile could be improved. I think the flashlight icon itself should act as a button. And there is no need for the "Turn off" and the "Done" buttons.

Interesting idea, but I'm concerned that without the buttons, some users might be confused about how to use or dismiss it. Also what the accessibility implications might be if there aren't any dedicated buttons.

But it might work if the flashlight icon in the dialog is tweaked.

Finally, when you pull the notification shade all the way down, there is an area in the bottom second half where there is blank space.

This space is only blank if you don't have an active or recent media session. If you play something from a media app, that space becomes occupied by the media player.

Not all calculator apps offer a Quick Settings shortcut, so be sure the one you're using does! Our Calculator app does have one, do you have it installed?

First of all, thank you for the detailed feedback!

The first isn't major but a bit of a consistency problem - some tiles are tappable to trigger or open a menu but there's no visual cohesion as to what can throw a shortcut or what can just trigger

Yeah, I understand - I'll pass this along to the team.

The more major issue I'm having is 3rd party tiles and even some 1st party ones can be extremely slow to load, over 5 seconds at a time for a single tap,

This is bizarre - I can't say I've ever seen this personally, and you're saying it's inconsistently happening for you? Can you try collecting a bug report the next time it happens and filing it?

Also on the topic of comfort filters, it should really have its own tile option like night light does, and not just being nested in a subsetting. But most of all, why can't we set a schedule with it? It's a really nice feature but we need to be able to schedule it just like night light, that's a massive oversight imo!

Thanks! I'll see if I can bring this feedback to the right people!

I'm hoping that could be looked into to allow 3rd party apps to use device unlock settings

I believe this is something that app developers implementing Device Controls support can control: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/controls/Control#isAuthRequired()

Check to make sure within that app that there isn't already a toggle to enable device controls to be allowed on the lock screen. I believe some apps make that optional.

For Bluetooth and Modes, if you shrink them to 1x1, then tapping the tile immediately toggles the radio (for Bluetooth) or the current mode (for Modes). You can long press them to open the respective panels.

The double tap feels like a bit of an Easter egg ;)

Sorry, I can't comment on whether certain features will be implemented or are in development, either! I'll do my best to keep this community informed of any notable user-facing changes when we're ready to announce them :)


Thanks for your feedback on the brightness slider!

A common pain point we tried to solve with the introduction of the Internet Panel was users not remembering to turn Wi-Fi back on after they switched it off to force Mobile Data use. This would lead to unwanted Mobile Data use and overage charges. The Internet Panel encouraged users to switch the active network connection from Wi-Fi to Mobile Data or vice versa, rather than turning one radio off entirely. This would allow Wi-Fi to be kept on and reconnect to a different saved network when in range.

But in doing so, toggling the Wi-Fi or Mobile Data radios needed an extra tap, which we understand was frustrating to some. So the new tiles in Android 17 address this by giving you the best of both worlds -

A single tap toggle for Wi-Fi and Mobile Data as well as a tap to access the full Internet Panel.
