Johanna 'Jojo the Techie' is a skilled mobile technology expert with over 15 years of hands-on experience, specializing in the Google ecosystem and Pixel devices. Known for her user-friendly approach, she leverages her vast tech support background to provide accessible and insightful coverage on latest technology trends.

Android 's Quick Settings panel is designed for easy toggling of features, but some are easier to toggle than others. For example, toggling your phone's flashlight requires a single tap, while toggling its Wi-Fi or Bluetooth radio requires two taps. This wasn't always the case, as older Android versions only required a single tap for Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

Testing confirmed that the Internet and Bluetooth tiles now worked this way. Tapping the icon for Internet toggled Wi-Fi, while tapping the icon for Bluetooth toggled Bluetooth. Tapping anywhere else on the Internet or Bluetooth tile opened their respective panels. The changes expected in Android 16 seem to offer a good balance between functionality and convenience. I'm interested in seeing how these changes will affect the overall user experience on Android devices and whether I will personally have a preference in how the toggles function.
