3.13. Quick Settings

Android device implementations SHOULD include a Quick Settings UI component that allow quick access to frequently used or urgently needed actions.

Android includes the quicksettings API allowing third party apps to implement tiles that can be added by the user alongside the system-provided tiles in the Quick Settings UI component. If a device implementation has a Quick Settings UI component, it:

• MUST allow the user to add or remove tiles from a third-party app to Quick Settings.
• MUST NOT automatically add a tile from a third-party app directly to Quick Settings.
• MUST display all the user-added tiles from third-party apps alongside the system-provided quick setting tiles.
