As Android 7.0 was released fairly recently, there are not many apps that are quick tile compatible which is quite understandable. This is exactly why I wasn’t able to find fully fleshed out apps that not only form perfectly but also look great. These are the few apps available on the Google Store that meet the criteria of simply being compatible with the Quick Tile. Note: The 5 apps that are quick tile compatible were tested on a Google Pixel smartphone, unfortunately I was not able to get the screenshots from that device. Then I ran them on Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and they were somewhat OK on it. I recommend using these on stock Android 7.1 Nougat or face some little hitches.
1. Weather Quick Settings Tile
Conclusion
I’m sure that we will see a lot more apps that are quick tile compatible in the near future. I’ll revisit this article in 6 months and update if there are more apps released. For now we will have to make do with the ones that are already available. Tap on the icon to get updated weather, it’s that simple and easy to use. Double tap on it to access the settings menu where you can toggle a lot of different things and change a few customization options. You’ll also be able to select how the weather is displayed as well as choose between Fahrenheit and Celsius units. The files allow you to select the refresh timer that you can easily opt for as a reliable weather update. Free Version
2. Caffeinate
When you toggle this option, the screen will stay awake for 5 minutes and after that continues sleeping normally. You have a lot of different uses for this feature, and use it to stay concentrated or some may even use it as a low-key flashlight. The usage depends on you. Even though it is in beta and may have some bugs, it works really well and does what it is meant to do. Free Version
3. QuickTile Quick Settings 7.+
There are options for rooted devices too. It’s good to see they offer a little extra for the people who wanted more control over their phone and rooted it. Free Version
4. Ringer Modes – Quick Tile
This can also be achieved by pressing the volume buttons anytime but this makes it easier to do it with one button press. At least on Samsung smartphones, you can’t make the smartphone silent by pressing the volume down button. Free Version
5. Tiles
From adaptive brightness toggles to alarms and from ambient display to apps you can do anything you want. Do you need to access Facebook from the panel? You can do so easily. The possibilities are endless here and I highly recommend that you try out this app as soon as you can. Rooted devices may have access to some advanced features on this quick tile compatible app, but they are not that big in number. Paid Version Do tell us how you feel about this new feature?
