Google has officially revealed the interface changes coming to Android later this year.
The company has given us an early look at the revamped Quick Settings panel during The Android Show today.
The updated panel features resizable Quick Settings tiles, new one-click Wi-Fi and Bluetooth toggles, an improved tile editor, and one-click shortcuts for adding or removing tiles.

Although Android 16 beta builds don’t feature any significant visual changes compared to last year’s release, Google has already confirmed that it’s working on a new expressive Material Design theme that could roll out with a subsequent update. In addition, we’ve spotted some in-development UI changes that could soon change the look of your phone’s status bar, lock screen, notification shade, Quick Settings panel, etc. During The Android Show today, Google finally showcased the new expressive Material Design theme and the upcoming interface changes, including the revamped Quick Settings panel.

Android Authority first spotted evidence of the upcoming Quick Settings design changes, including the resizable tiles, one-click toggles for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the updated tile editor late last year. While these changes are not live in the fourth Android 16 beta release that rolled out last month, we enabled them manually to give you an early look. Now, Google has officially confirmed the redesign during today’s The Android Show event, giving us yet another look at Android’s updated Quick Settings panel.
