The app shortcut was introduced with Android 7.1 in October 2016. They have seen some UI changes over the years, but they have been mostly the same.
The app shortcut I use the most belongs to Chrome new tab And New secret tab When I need to immediately enter a URL and not to deal with the dislocation of the open tab. Then the play store my apps To update quickly, and to open the Gmail shortcut directly into a specific account. I am also trying to use fitbit Log water (Although it requires updated icography, all are definitely benefiting from a refreshing with Google apps).
Other notable apps include shortcuts:
- Files by Google, download
- Google Calendar, New work If you are using integrated Google work experience
- Google Keep, New text noteBut the new fab behavior option reduces it
- Google Maps, Home And Work
- Pixel camera, take a selfie And Take a video
I press the application icon for a long time to reach the menu instead of keeping the shortcut straight on a homescreen. (Design has been made to remove one of the clear indicators from Twics that you can pull and give them space.) I have definitely tried more direct approach, but do not want to waste any spots on single-appreciated tasks, or replace the main app icon that allows you to come back where you were in the app. (One thing that can work for you, is keeping all your app shortcuts in a dedicated folder that is easy to access, or even in your dock.)
Android app shortcuts are straight and work according to intention, but there are some handful of reforms that I appreciate.
Play Store introduced one last month Collection App shortcut that has gone my apps By a line. My muscle memory eventually adjusted, but the ability to hide shortcuts (perhaps with app information) that you don’t use would be good. For example, I will use View screenshots Shortcut for Google Photo If it was not so much Free up space And I feel lucky A little major.
Apps are allowed a maximum of four shortcuts, which is enough, but I want them to be presented in a more compact manner. Some users will be fine without the text label that takes place to allow for a row of grid or shortcuts. This will definitely benefit the use of one-hand.
Finally (and it is really erudition), but I am still not a fan of how long the icon (on the pixel launcher) is putting pressure on how long you are going to draw the app in a new position. Similarly, on a UI of Samsung, opening the menu result in the icon jumps up and down.
