Android 15 has already raised expectations with its exciting new features. An interesting and unexpected change is encountered in a new source code that has emerged. Accordingly, the notification bar is changing after many years with Android 15.

Status and notification bar are getting a new design with Android 15

Android started using the notification bar more effectively with 11 years ago. However, a design that we have been used to in the notification bar for many years seems to be changing. Accordingly, the status and notification bar are getting colorful.

As you know, smartphone operating systems, including iOS, try to make the status and notification bar designs quite simple. Especially the Android status and notification bar design is quite plain and black and white.

According to what Android Authority discovered, a new feature has emerged in the Android 15 source codes. Accordingly, the status and notification bar icons are getting color with Android 15. As you know, the icons currently in the notification bar in Android are black and white. Generally, operating systems try to keep the status and notification bar icons simple in order to stabilize battery life.

Here is the first time that the status and notification bar design will change in the Android 15 source codes. Although such a reference and feature is included in the source codes, the design has not yet emerged. However, if colored icons are used, it is likely to appear as in the example.

Although it is not one of the striking features of Android 15, it is obvious that the new design is a very interesting change. Although this new feature has been highlighted with a flag in the Android 15 source codes, it is not clear whether it will appear yet. It is obvious that Google sometimes does not integrate even the features it has tried for a long time into the Android operating system.

In this sense, there is a possibility that the status and notification bar design tried for Android 15 will remain only in the source codes. The important thing here is how big the negative impact of the new colored icons on battery life will be. Again, Android 15.
