When you edit your quick-access tiles. Mine has a little pencil if I expand the notification area fully. I have these choices, where ‘Internet’ is the annoying combined WiFi/data button, but the other two were in there and I just had to drag them out instead.
I would turn your yelling around: Do you honestly believe the vast majority of users need more than just that functionality, which beelines you into connecting to a specific Wi-Fi over toggling anything on or off?
Much like the Bluetooth menu, these changes are driven by the fact that the vast vast majority of users only ever need to access a quick “connect to this BT device” or “I want to connect to this Wi-Fi” menu. Never anything else.
It sucks as a power user, but at least for me I could find individual toggles when editing the quick panel.
Do you honestly believe the vast majority of users need
If users don’t need it, then why was it created in the first place? Of course they need it.
If you want to change networks or Bluetooth devices, that’s what the setting menu is for. This is called a “quick toggle” because it’s intended to quickly toggle connections on and off.
So now what would you do if the data were to show that the vast majority need fast access to a menu to swap which BT device is connected, but only few ever turn it on or off?
Wouldn’t it make sense to have the connect menu available quickly, and the on/off deeper in the configuration, just like you say it but the other way around?
Of course, 10+ versions ago the devs expected the toggle to be used frequently. But unless our users are a very skewed sample, fucking nobody (if you round it) ever does. Same with toggling data.
Same bullshit they did when they combined WiFi and Cell into one toggle and called it “internet”.
Like DO YOU PEOPLE JUST NOT UNDERSTAND THE PURPOSE OF THIS MENU YOU YOURSELVES CREATED!?
I hated that too, but buried in the’edit’ list I still found separate toggles for WiFi and data (on Lineage OS)
What edit list?

Interesting, I don’t have those options on Pixel
They used to be there and were removed a couple updates ago. Really annoyed me.
What’s even more infuriating is that the panel is blue even if both wifi and cell network are tuned off!

That’s a major improvement. Nobody turns off Bluetooth.
It’s now easier to check or disconnect devices.
Location and Bluetooth are constantly off for me, my phone is lucky if it isn’t in airplane mode.
Solely for battery lmao. I don’t know if it even matters anymore but it’s an old habit
It’s a good ol’ habit.
Yes we do. I have Bluetooth off 95% of the time, unless I’m using headphones
I like my battery more than I like my Bluetooth.
Bluetooth always off for me, until I need it. Then I’ll turn it on, then back to off.
