• App-specific preferences visibility in Android 16

    "Android 16 adds a new API that lets apps integrate their
    own settings with the Android Settings app, and if this
    API becomes broadly adopted, it could transform Android
    Settings into a one-stop shop for both device & app settings."

    It's debatable whether Android developers will actually take advantage of
    this API, though, as iOS offers a similar API that few iOS developers take advantage of.

    Personally, I accomplish that same effect, today, with one-tap shortcuts.

    If you know what an Android "activity" is, you make a link to it.
    Then you give that link an icon and you put it in a settings folder.

    An app that makes those links a single tap is, as usual, Muntashirakon.
