Google's controversial split Quick Settings for Android 16 could at least be optional

The combination of notifications and Quick Settings tiles has been a perplexing choice for brands making the best Android phones. Google graciously allows these OEMs to deploy custom implementations, sometimes handing the choice back to the user about whether they would like notifications, Quick Settings toggles, or a little bit of both when they swipe down on the status bar. After much ado, we finally have confirmation that Google hasn't entirely given up on its plans to design a split Quick Settings section, and it should be an optional feature for most of us.
