Android 15's latest developer preview hints at potential changes to status bar icons, including a horizontal battery icon and segmented Wi-Fi and signal indicators for clearer visibility. Additionally, there may be improvements in haptic feedback for various interactions. These features are currently hidden in a testing version for developers, with their inclusion in the official Android 15 release yet to be confirmed.
Android 15 is set to bring changes to the status bar icons, including a segmented design for WiFi signal strength, mobile signal strength, and battery icons, as well as a switch to a horizontal layout for the battery icon. Additionally, more haptic feedback will be added to actions throughout the status bar, such as vibrating when a user long-presses a tile. These UI and haptic changes are not yet enabled by default in the latest Android 15 Developer Preview, but they are anticipated to be included in the first public beta release.
Google is reportedly planning to revamp the status bar icons in the upcoming Android 15 update, potentially introducing a segmented design and displaying battery level within the icon. Additionally, haptic feedback may be added to the Quick Settings and volume panels, enhancing the user experience. These changes are not yet enabled in the public Developer Preview 2 release, but if implemented, they could be seen in the first or second public beta of Android 15.
