Leak Points to Android 17 Split Panels and Restored Wi‑Fi/Mobile Data Toggles

Leaks suggest Google is testing a layout tailored for large screens.

Overview

  • Video and screenshots from Mystic Leaks reportedly show separate panels triggered by swiping from the left for notifications and from the right for Quick Settings.
  • A Settings option labeled Separate or Combined appears for phones, while tablets and foldables reportedly default to split view with limited ability to revert on larger displays.
  • The Quick Settings panel may reintroduce distinct Wi‑Fi and mobile data tiles, reversing Android 12’s combined Internet control for one‑tap access.
  • Other tweaks shown include a volume slider placed beneath brightness controls and minor visual changes such as a large clock atop the notifications list.
  • Google has not confirmed these features, and details seen in early Android 17 builds could change before any developer preview or public beta.
