Google may let you resize Quick Settings tiles in Android 16

[phillynews215]

• Android 16 may let you resize Quick Settings tiles, according to evidence we discovered in the latest Android beta.
• You’ll be able to resize any Quick Settings tiles, though they can only be either 1×1 or 2×1 in size.
• This resizable Quick Settings tiles feature seems to be part of the overhauled Quick Settings panel that Google is working on for Android 16.

Last month, we reported that Google is working on a major overhaul of Android’s Quick Settings panel for next year’s Android 16 update. From what we managed to enable, it looks like Google wants Android to show more notifications and Quick Settings tiles on screen, and the best way to do that is to split the notifications and Quick Settings panels into two separate pages. However, there’s another way to fit more Quick Settings tiles on screen, and that’s by making them resizable, which is something that Google is seemingly working on for Android 16.

While I was digging through the latest Android beta update that Google released earlier this week, I found that Google had made more progress on overhauling Android’s Quick Settings panel. I discovered that Google had made some categories to better organize your Quick Settings tiles, a change that will make it easier to find the right Quick Settings tile you want to add to the panel. Shortly after that discovery, though, I found an even bigger change: Quick Settings tiles were now resizable!
