This is not the only news that we are going to receive with the new version of the Google operating system, others will also arrive Major improvements to quick settings and other features. Before its official launch, we are getting to know details of what awaits us when it arrives on our phones.
Rich continuous notifications arrive
The new notifications API has been seen in beta version 3 of Android 15 QPR1 allowing apps show more than just icons in the status bar. Apps can create interactive ‘chips’ with custom text and background functions. Tapping on them is expected to open a box with more notification details, much like the new screen recording interface, but for notifications. For example, you will be able to see real-time information about when your flight is going to arrive on the screen, for example.
This option is under development and apps cannot use it completely, although they have created an online tool to create prototypes of how they will work, making them possible. Simulated notifications with various texts, icons and app colors.
Several images have been shared of how these notifications could finally look when viewed on the mobile, although we will have to wait for them to reach your mobile to see how they finally look. There are those, yes, They have compared them to Apple’s Dynamic Islanddespite the fact that Android had already brought something similar a long time ago, so we cannot say that it is something that Apple invented although they could have been inspired by the Dynamic Island.
As this feature continues to evolve and develop, we can expect more changes or improvements before the official release of Android 16, so we are looking forward to the time to find out more. Although there are no guarantees that the new feature will be released, it will most likely arrive with the new update.
Improvements to quick settings and more new features
Another novelty that is expected and catches our attention are the Resizable Quick Settings tileswhich allow you to improve their location. You can adjust the size of the tiles so that fit 1×1 or 2×1 so that there are between 8 and 16 tiles per page.
You just have to touch them and drag the point to make them bigger or smaller. This new panel will boast a new, more striking design and this new functionality that will adapt it more to you by allowing you access more features at once or only the ones that interest you the most as you prefer.
These are not the only new functions that will arrive with Android 16, as we are anticipating as we learn and we will discover as more are leaked. However, until the launch of the new version we will not know all of them.
