It’s the time of year when we’re looking forward to a bunch of new updates in Android. While we’re excited about the next biggest changes, we can’t forget about the minor tweaks. According to Mishaal Rahman, the Android volume slider might change its height based on the device’s screen size.

Google introduced the vertical volume slider with Android 9 back in 2018. It was a change of pace from the slider that stretched horizontally across your screen. The position of the slider should coincide with the position of your hardware volume buttons.

This is a neat thought, but it can be a bit weird on taller devices. See, the volume slider only has one size. While it looks great on medium and smaller screens, it can look pretty tiny on larger screens.

The smaller volume slider looks weird on larger displays, but it looks like that’s about to change. In a tweet from Mishaal Rahman, we get the news about what Google plans to do about this. There was a new commit added to the AOSP that hints at the volume slider being proportional to the device’s screen size.

So, depending on what size display you have, the volume slider will have a different height. It’s not the most significant update to Android, but it still adds a nice visual appeal.

This code was discovered in the Android 13 QPR Beta 1, but it’s not looking like the feature will come with the next feature drop. Instead, Google might opt to have this feature come with Android 14. This version of the operating system is in preview right now, and the beta is expected to launch in the coming months.

However, since this was discovered within the code of the software, you’ll want to take it with a grain of salt.
