The Problem: Finding the setting you need in the current Android Settings app can be a frustrating hunt, especially for new users. The Solution: Google is planning a revamp for the Settings app in Android 15. The top level will be reorganized into clear sections, making it easier to find what you're looking for. What to Expect: - Visually Distinct Sections: Similar settings will be grouped together, making them easier to identify.
- Not Available Yet: This feature isn't available in the latest Android 15 Beta 3, but analysis of the code suggests it's coming in a future update.
Current Layout Issues: - Lack of Order: There's no clear logic to the current placement of settings.
- Information Overload: With so many options crammed together, finding specific settings can be difficult.
