Google is experimenting with bringing the tablet taskbar to phones running Android 15. This new version could be called the “tiny” taskbar.

    Taskbar is crap until it’s no longer baked in with the phones default launcher.

      Oh yeah never thought about that, is the bar that pops up when you swipe when you’re already in an app also part of the launcher?

      Wonder how they did that, or if they just gave their own launcher some special integration like they usually do, to allow it to somehow listen to global gestures or something.

        Yeah, if you swap launchers it hardly ever works when you swipe up. Recents menu has been like this forever as well and why it can stutter / looks less seamless when using a different launcher, it has to run the system laumcher to show the recents menu.
