HyperOS 3 may get Android 16’s game-changing feature

The revolutionary Quick Settings customization feature introduced in Android 16 QPR1 is set to make its way to HyperOS 3, bringing unprecedented control panel flexibility to Xiaomi devices. This exciting development follows Android 16’s groundbreaking approach to Quick Settings management, where users can now resize, rearrange, and fully customize their control toggles. With Xiaomi’s design philosophy closely mirroring iOS elements and Google’s implementation of this iPhone-like feature in Android, it’s almost certain that HyperOS 3 will integrate this functionality seamlessly into its interface when it launches later this year.

Revolutionary Control Panel Customization

The updated panel features resizable Quick Settings tiles, new one-click Wi-Fi and Bluetooth toggles, an improved tile editor, and one-click shortcuts for adding or removing tiles. This means HyperOS 3 users will finally be able to create truly personalized control centers that match their usage patterns. The ability to resize individual tiles from large 2×2 blocks down to compact 1×1 squares opens up entirely new layout possibilities.

Why Xiaomi Will Definitely Adopt This Feature

Xiaomi has consistently borrowed successful design elements from iOS, and since this Quick Settings customization feature already exists on iPhones, it makes perfect business sense for the company to implement it. Xiaomi HyperOS 3.0 is third generation operating system based on Android 16 with native support for Google’s Android 15, which will be released in autumn 2025. The timing aligns perfectly with Android 16’s rollout schedule.

Enhanced User Experience Coming Soon

The new customization options will allow users to:

• Resize control tiles to fit more toggles on screen
• Drag and drop tiles to preferred positions
• Create custom layouts for different usage scenarios
• Access frequently used controls with single taps

You will be able to shrink each tile to 1×1 — smaller than the current 2×1 layout, allowing the Quick Settings panel to accommodate more tiles. This enhanced density means power users can access more functions without scrolling through multiple panels.

Expected Release Timeline

An official release date for HyperOS 3 hasn’t been announced yet, but based on the releases of previous versions of the OS, it’s safe to assume it’s September-October 2025. Other countries like India, Europe, and Southeast Asia may get it in October or November. Users can expect the Quick Settings customization feature to be among the headline improvements in the major update.
