1. Horizontal swiping should allow users access to their devices (device control - Google Home and/or Smart things) rather than the user being forced to select the Smart things pill button. This reduces clicks.
2. The action buttons are currently grouped together outside of the two separate full action pills of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. These action buttons should not be stuck in a group. Similarly to apps in the Apps drawer and Home Screen, the action buttons in the notifications panel should be free floating, albeit fixed to a grid. This will allow for greater support of customization of the notification panel. The pills themselves and the brightness and volume bars should also be able to be separated.
3. Otheriwse, if 2 not feasible, allow for horizontal scrolling instead of pulling down to increase the number of action buttons displayed. This would help with adapting to screen real estate.
Thank you for your detailed suggestions on enhancing the notification panel and device control features.
1. We appreciate your idea of enabling horizontal swiping for accessing device controls, such as Google Home or SmartThings, without requiring the SmartThings pill button. Reducing clicks and improving accessibility is a valuable suggestion.
2. Your feedback about customizing the notification panel layout, including free-floating action buttons, separating pills, and adjusting brightness/volume bars, is insightful. Increased flexibility in customization could greatly enhance the user experience, and we’ll share your ideas with the design team.
3. If full customization isn’t feasible, your proposal for horizontal scrolling to display more action buttons is an excellent alternative. This could optimize screen real estate and improve usability.
Thank you for your thoughtful input. Your feedback plays an important role in refining the One UI experience, and we truly value your contributions.
