Google continues to improve the Android experience with every major update. The latest developer previews released for Android 15 also revealed a redesigned volume control panel. So what will change in this panel?
Google refreshes the volume panel in Android 15
Mishaal Rahman, known for Android leaks, shared the details of the changes found in Android 15 Developer Preview 2. The volume panel undergoes a design change by switching to a relatively thicker bar.
Users will also be able to simply tap the bar to mute sounds, rather than sliding it all the way down. This will allow the sound to be turned on and off with a single move.
The expected news for The Witcher 4 has arrived!
The development process for The Witcher 4 has accelerated. CD Projekt Red directed the majority of the team to the new Witcher game.
While media is playing, the panel will only display media volume. However, when no sound is playing, all five standard volume controls will be available. With Android 15, it will be possible to control media, ringtone, notification, system and alarm sound separately.
Rahman also revealed that new features like Noise Control and Spatial Audio are also being tested with Developer Preview 2. However, he stated that these features are not yet available for preview, they are only built into the operating system.
The redesigned audio panel is still in development for Android 15, which is expected to be released next fall. But the changes suggest that Google wants to increase control for audio management.
