Android 17 leak shows Google may fix one UI mistake and double down on another
Android Authority • • general
Key Points:
- A new leak reveals Android 17 will introduce a dual-shade Quick Settings and Notifications UI, specifically designed for foldable phones and tablets, with no option to revert to the classic combined shade on large-screen devices.
- The split layout allows users to swipe down from the left side of the inner screen for notifications and from the right side for Quick Settings, but this behavior is mandatory on foldables and tablets, limiting customization.
- Android 17 is expected to bring back separate Wi-Fi and mobile data toggles in Quick Settings, reversing a controversial change that combined them into a single internet tile in previous versions.
- The dual-shade interface has been refined to fix earlier visual and functional issues, suggesting it is close to finalization
