Overview
- Users on Reddit and Google forums report that enabling the Quick Controls setting now does nothing on displays with a vertical taskbar.
- Before the update, turning on Quick Controls moved the taskbar to the bottom; with version 15.2, the bar stays fixed on the side.
- Horizontal screen layouts continue to show Quick Controls, pointing to an orientation-specific issue rather than a full removal.
- Reports began in late September as 15.2 hit the stable track and have grown as the broader rollout continued into mid-October.
- Google has not acknowledged the problem or confirmed a fix, and affected users report reduced multitasking and occasional crashes.
