Android 17 is set to revolutionize the Quick Settings experience, offering a much-needed overhaul after years of the same cluttered pull-down design. This update promises to bring a cleaner, more organized split view, separating notifications and system toggles. Regular Pixel phones may get the option to choose between the classic combined view and the new split setup, while tablets and foldables are likely to have the split view as mandatory on large screens like the Pixel Fold. Wi-Fi and mobile data toggles could be separated again, undoing Android 12's controversial combined Internet toggle. The new leak suggests that Google is testing a true split layout in Android 17, where swiping from the left edge would show only notifications, while swiping from the right would bring up Quick Settings. This approach is already used by brands like Samsung and Xiaomi, and Google would make it official in Android itself. For regular Pixel users, this change seems to be optional, but for tablets and foldables, the split view may be mandatory. The second upgrade is more subtle and long overdue, as Android 12's combined Internet toggle made users switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data using a mini menu. The new leak suggests that Android 17 could bring back separate toggles for Wi-Fi and mobile data, offering faster access and reducing accidental taps. However, none of these changes are guaranteed yet, as they are still hidden in early Android 17 builds, and Google could change, delay, or even cancel them before launch. So, stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development!
