    Like just about everything google has done since android 8, they are terrible. 8 tiles used to take up a fifth of my phone’s screen and would leave plenty of space for notifications, now they fill up the entire screen with their ridiculous padding.

    Edit: padding, not margins

      I really do wish there was an option to set a custom scaling to the quick settings tiles.

      I feel like maybe I’m an outsider with this opinion, but I never liked the Material You UI at all. While it’s nice having a few extra theming options available, I feel like it just makes such poor use of the screen space.

        Agreed, at this point I’m considering turning down the minimum width of my OS and turning up the font size so that everything apart from text becomes smaller.

    I like them. Screens are huge these days, it’s not like the empty space these would otherwise leave were going to be used by anything else. The extra space allows for some quality of life improvements (i.e. show what devices are connected over Bluetooth inside the toggle) and also solved some glaring bugs where a translated term would be twice the length of the original English word and the label would be cut off despite all of the whitespace surrounding the toggles.
