Someone just spotted a notifications makeover for Android 16

Google's Android 15 QPR1 Beta reveals potential enhancements to the notifications and quick settings panel, including a more compact notification view and smaller, circular icons in the settings menu. The Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1.1 patch addresses a rebooting issue affecting Pixel devices, with a stable release expected in October. The redesign of the quick settings menu may require a two-finger gesture to access and will initially occupy a quarter of the screen, displaying rounded corner notifications with essential information. This redesign may not be available until Android 16, as many elements appear unfinished. The code hints at a modular System UI approach, allowing for independent components. Android 15 is also expected to modify the Do Not Disturb feature, now called "Priority Mode," allowing for user customization. The QPR beta is anticipated to coincide with a December feature drop.

Google could give Do Not Disturb better ‘Priority’ in Android 15

Google's Android 15 QPR beta introduces "Priority Mode," a customizable alternative to the Do Not Disturb feature, allowing users to personalize settings for notifications, contacts, and display preferences. The rollout of Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1 began on August 22, despite the stable version of Android 15 not being released yet. The update includes a package of approximately 500MB and features a new long-press Quick Settings tile and a fresh loading animation. The release is notable as it was made available to Pixel testers without the prior launch of Android 15, which has faced delays. Additionally, the Google Pixel 9 will feature a 6.3-inch Actua display and the integrated AI model, Gemini, for enhanced user experience.
