The Android notification shade is more confusing than it's ever been. Here is why. Posted: 28 Nov 2021 01:13 PM PST Had android phones from Cupcake to Honey Comb. I went to Apple until Android Kit Kat and have been using Android since then. I have embraced a lot of change and for the most part have really liked the direction Android has taken throughout the years. I had an OG pixel and now a Pixel 3. Android 12 though, may be insufferable and I attribute most of it to the notification shade. The swipe and tap gymnastics are enough to make me lose my mind. I'm willing to overlook the design choice of big buttons for quick settings and brightness, but here are a few gripes that I can't stand. Reappearing ghost phone call notifications (Thought would be fixed in beta) Lingering Gmail notifications after quick actions like "archive" Lack of Wifi toggle - I know there is an APK for it. ​ Quick settings are hidden behind at least 2 taps and sometimes a swipe as well (Not that quick...) 2 swipes down to fully expand the shade, but 3 swipes up Extra swipe to remove/show the date at the top of the shade when it could replace the Android version number below the quick setting 12 (SP1A.210812.016.A1) Inconsistent swipe gesture on notifications to expand them (Sometimes they expand, sometimes it moves the shade, sometimes I have to tap the down arrow icon) several errors I can't reproduce like when quick-replying to messages the keyboard will cover the text input window. I do like how the notification shade goes transparent when adjusting screen brightness. Slick. I know it's an old trope to say this, but I am going to try iOS for my next phone. Google used to persuade me with free Google Photo storage on new Pixel phones, but I don't see them doing that in the future, and Android is getting less intuitive by the update. I just really wanted to document some of my thoughts and hope that this can be taken very constructively. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. I would love to have a website / thread that documents the problems with various areas of Android 12. I could write a whole other post on what they did to the poor calculator. submitted by /u/Therefor3 [link] [comments]
