So dumb though, who actually uses that? And I'll ask again until eternity: why do these tiles need to be so large?

[–] bigschnitz 2 points 1 year ago

To take real estate from notifications (is it somehow a benefit to Google to add scroll interactions?). I'm not sure what the endgame is but the only other thing it achieves is making them always trigger when you're holding the phone to your ear, which no matter how tinfoil I get I can't see any potential motivator for that. It's pure bad design, for the life of me I can't work it out.

Quick tiles is one of the many reasons why I prefer Samsung One UI over stock/Pixel. One UI still uses the old style.
