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

    Those are not material icons, please don’t google

    hopefully these are just a test or something

      It was good while it lasted. Nearly 10 years. ⚰️

    These look a lot like iOS status icons, but I’m not familiar enough to say for sure

    Looks a bit shit

    I’d be happy if they brought back the wifi toggle instead of making me go into a settings screen

      Even Motorola thought that was dumb because I have separate toggles on my Android 13 Motorola phone, with the caveat that clicking turning off data gives me an “are you sure” prompt. I just bypass this with the airplane mode button, which is still thankfully 1 click.

      The WiFi toggle is still there in quick settings (tap on the round WiFi icon, rather than the text)

    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.

      This has been a thing since ages on most OEM devices. AOSP is so much behind. 7 years of updates are really necessary for pixels.

    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”

      • TonyOstrichEnglish

        And as everyone knows, the key to accessibility is not having options or variations of any kind!

    The changed icons are already present on most 3rd party OEM roms. Outside of AOSP based roms hardly noteworthy. The new chip based charging indicator is a bit difficult to read but the slightly improved animation is ok.
