Default Quick Settings layout in Android 15 versus Android 16. | Image credit — Android Authority
The current Quick Settings panel in Android 15 has a fixed layout with a limited number of tiles that can be displayed on the screen. With the new resizable tiles feature, users will be able to customize the Quick Settings panel to better suit their needs. They will be able to choose to have a few large tiles for the settings they use most often, or they could have a lot of small tiles for all of the settings they need.

I am excited about the possibility of having resizable Quick Settings tiles in Android 16. This would give me more flexibility in how I use my phone and reminds me of other implementations such as what One UI, Zen UI, and Nothing OS have. I could choose to have a few large tiles for the settings I use most often, or I could have a lot of small tiles for all of the settings I need. I think this would be a great addition to Android, and I hope Google decides to keep this feature in the final release.
