Google is experimenting with bringing the tablet taskbar to phones running Android 15. This new version could be called the “tiny” taskbar.

    Time is a flat circle. I remember when honeycomb launched with a bottom navbar, only for Google to delete it later in favor of a (terrible) phone like gui

      Yeah please stop trying to act like multitasking on a small screen is something anyone wants. There’s enough bugs out there for app switching to fix that you coulda focused on that instead of adding another half assed product on top of your current half assed product

      Ugh, and I thought my 6 GBs of RAM phone sucked for multitasking… You are discouraging me to get another one with at least 8 GBs of RAM lol.

    I already don’t like that the navigation-gesture bottom bar takes up a few millimetres of my valuable screen space. Why does it need to be one click away and always wasting space as opposed to one swipe away and not? Hopefully it will be an option and not an Apple-style “we’ve decided for you” arrangement.
