Samsung did this after One UI 7 IIRC, and it was enabled as default.
Turned that off when that was introduced, and I have shown few people how to turn it off because they also didn't like it.

Wasn't something similar already implemented in one of the older releases (and then removed)?
Not that i remember, no? Not in aosp at least
Up until IIRC Android 2.1, there were no quick settings - the pull-down area was strictly for notifications only. So yeah at one time it was "already implemented".
It's been a thing for several years on some phone brand android versions (ones I definitely know are Huawei, Samsung and Xiaomi)
Dunno why every Android OEM and now Android themselves are interested in replicating this stupid iOS-ism that serves no purpose other than making getting to what you want take more swipes

Really? I have to be the first to make this joke? I thought somebody else would have done it by now. And in a way more clever than this, I might add.
Welcome back, 4.2 Jelly Bean.
they are literally just shuffling shit around at this point aren't they
on my xiaomi 15T it is already like this, since hyperOS 3. Also that notch Media Player area, like on the iPhones I think, is enabled.
Unfortunately I am not able to change this in the settings.
Oh boy more changes just for the sake of changing things
It's literally an option, fucknut. Between iOS and Android style notification/qs pulldown.
The primary goal here is to convert iOS users and you do that by making familiar experiences available to them.
Well, only on the right screen sizes it is. Otherwise the 'classic' variant gets disabled.
Sounds worse.
What a boring thing to leak.
They should do something about the "design" they called "material you" before trying to introduce new "features".
