Newest Android 14 beta changes Bluetooth Quick Settings tile to be more interactive،
A remarkable update has rolled out to Pixels on the latest Android 14 QPR2 beta, bringing an exciting new feature intended to improve the user experience. Users can now enjoy an expandable Quick Settings tile, designed specifically for Bluetooth, which is set to completely transform the way users connect or disconnect their favorite devices, providing a much more intuitive and interactive experience. Before this update, the Bluetooth tile on Pixel phones worked as a basic toggle. A single press on it would turn Bluetooth connectivity on or off, and a long press was required to establish a connection with a specific device. This action would then prompt the full Settings app to open, directing them to the Bluetooth page. This process, while it worked, was not the most efficient or convenient and sometimes resulted in accidental presses that disabled Bluetooth. As reported by 9to5Googlethe latest beta version of Android 14 QPR2 changes this behavior. The Bluetooth tile has received significant improvements, making it more interactive for users.

Users who rely on the Bluetooth tile to easily turn their connectivity on and off may need to make an adjustment with this update. This introduces an extra twist to the workflow, which could impact their efficiency. Fortunately, the general consensus regarding this change has been mostly favorable. The ability to seamlessly connect to another device without having to switch apps, such as sending audio to a nearby speaker without leaving a streaming app, has been widely hailed as a major improvement.
