Android 16 may get a revamped quick settings and notifications panel.

The current design of the panel, which combines notifications and quick settings, hasn't changed much since it was introduced in Android 12. However, Mishaal Rahman (via Android Authority) revealed that Google is working on a redesign of the panel that will separate notifications from quick settings.

The notifications panel will still be accessible with a normal swipe from the statusbar, but now it will no longer take up the entire screen and you will be able to see the app you were in as it was before Android 12. A repeated swipe no longer opens quick settings.

And to open the quick settings panel, you have to swipe with two fingers, which most users probably won't like.

The design is still raw, to say the least, and may undergo significant changes in the final version, but it's clear that Google is considering a major overhaul of the notification panel and quick settings, which will likely be added in Android 16.
