Updating…
Screen record redesign
After tapping the Quick Setting Tile, you get a new floating pill to “Start” or make changes, like Entire screen or Single app. Options include:
- Entire screen: Record device audio, Record microphone, Show touches
- Single app: App to record, Record device audio, Record microphone
After the recording is initiated, you can tap the status bar indicator to bring the floating UI and make changes by tapping the settings gear or “Stop.” Upon ending, you’re taken to a new interface that lets you preview the clip, “Edit,” “Delete,” or “Share.” Tapping “New” brings you back to the tool.
More blur in system UI, like Widgets pane
Android 17 Beta 2 vs. Canary 2603
Seperate Wi-Fi & Mobile data QS toggles
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.
App lock & Bubbles
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’s fully active as of today’s Canary.
Redesigned app long-press menu
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 “Shortcuts” menu. Tapping the new expand button will minimize the “Actions.” Apps with just one shortcut are spared.
