Android 15 may revamp the status bar icons for Wi-Fi, mobile data, and battery as well as add haptic feedback to Quick Settings.

    hopefully these are just a test or something

        because it’s pointless and annoying on top of all the other annoying bull crap Google has been pulling over the last 5 years.

    So change for the sake of change. The new icons are fine, and I even slightly like the revamp to the battery icon, but this is still just pointless.

    Also, my near stock Android 13 phone already gives me haptic feedback when I long press the quick toggles, so this is not even a change.

    This is a belated April Fool’s joke, right? This looks horrendous. Like the ugly child of iOS and Samsung icons.

    They’re finally reverting the separation of battery icon and numeric percentage? Sweet! I never liked the current implementation.

    But other than that, it really doesn’t look significantly different.

    I wish Google would use the haptics engine more. It’s been incredibly capable since the Pixel 6…

      I actually hate haptics on phones unless it’s for a notification or phone call. It’s always the first thing I turn off when I get a new phone. Vibrating on button presses is obnoxious to me.

      Funny, I think it’s used a ton and it’s so ubiquitous in some situations that I forget it’s even there, but immediately notice it’s absence.

    I just want the option to have my quick access icons be circular buttons and not this massive blob BS. I got pretty used to having like 20 (maybe a couple less) things that were all accessible from a single spot. It was nice.

      “Nope sorry, for accessibility reasons we decided these particular buttons, and only these buttons, need to have the full name as big as possible, a real-time info lines, and an absurd amount of space around them”
