Seperate Wi-Fi & Mobile data\u00a0QS toggles<\/h3>\n

Android once again has separate Quick Settings Tiles for Wi-Fi and Mobile data. If you have the current Internet Tile set, that will become Wi-Fi and you can manually add Mobile data.<\/p>\n

\t\t\"\"<\/p>\n

App lock & Bubbles<\/h3>\n

Long-pressing on an app will reveal the new App lock and Bubble options, with the latter officially announced last month as part of Android 17 Beta 2. It\u2019s fully active as of today\u2019s Canary.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As part of those two additions, Google has redesigned the menu that appears when you long-press on an app. If an application has 2-4 app shortcuts, they will be hidden inside a new \u201cShortcuts\u201d menu. Tapping the new expand button will minimize the \u201cActions.\u201d Apps with just one shortcut are spared.<\/p>\n
