# 🧘 Other quality-of-life improvements

And lastly, here are some smaller quality-of-life changes we’re introducing in this release:

* **Separate Wi-Fi and Mobile Data toggles:** With Android 17, we’ve split the “Internet” tile [into two separate tiles](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fandroid-17-beta-3-a-new-multitasking-experience-redesigned-v0-ojyys7fc2grg1.png%3Fwidth%3D1080%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D3ff753ef1ee49de6c26dee2ebca6951946ac4754), one for controlling Wi-Fi and another for controlling Mobile Data. Consistent with the Quick Settings behavior we introduced with Material 3 Expressive, both tiles have two different touch points. Tapping the icon toggles the respective radio, while tapping the label opens the full Internet Panel. This change reduces the number of taps needed to toggle Wi-Fi and Mobile Data while still retaining access to the full Internet Panel!
* **Scheduled clock change notifications**: We’ve added a new feature in Android 17 that sends you a notification when your clock performs a scheduled change, for example when daylight saving time ends. You can [enable this feature](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fandroid-17-beta-3-a-new-multitasking-experience-redesigned-v0-1o08wbki2grg1.png%3Fwidth%3D1080%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Dd6455b27d583b861de252c0e365b198505b1d109) under “Date & time” settings.
* **Restoring default keyboard visibility after rotation:** Beginning with Android 17, when the keyboard is on screen and you rotate the screen, the keyboard won’t be made visible unless the app explicitly requests it.
