According to findings from the most recent Android 15 Beta, Android 15 may add a “tiny” taskbar to your phone along with new notification controls to prevent them from distracting you as you watch a video when it launches later this year.

Although taskbars are already present on many Android smartphones, due to their size, they are only available on tablets and the enormous unfolded screens of foldable devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. However, they are a helpful utility because they function as an always-available app carousel, which facilitates multitasking on your device.

Because of its potential utility, Android Authority may have discovered code referring to a “tiny” taskbar that appears on non-foldable phones. As demonstrated in the YouTube video below, this taskbar can even be used to simultaneously display two apps on the screen, albeit with some squishing. into the picture.

However, huge phones aren’t leaving their taskbars alone. Users will be able to switch between the current floating style and the older permanent design on Google. Smaller devices will utilize the temporary floating island design, which can be more difficult to access, but the permanent alternative always takes up space, which can be unpleasant. With Android 15, you may select the style that best fits your requirements.
