Android 7.0 Nougat brings a new feature like split screen multitasking, along with updates to more features like Quick Settings. The Quick Settings are a quite convenient feature, thinking of it gives you access to different alternatives quickly. With Nougat, the toggles are currently customizable, which should be possible on Marshmallow as well, however it required digging into hidden choices. Likewise, Google has opened the API of Quick Settings to developers, which means there are some Quick Settings apps to install.

The feature will be surely convenient for people who are coming from an iPhone, as iOS features a calculator toggle right in the Control Center. The ability to do calculations in the notification center via the calculator shortcut in the Quick Settings is certainly a quicker way, instead of going to the Calculator app. In our testing, the Quick Settings Calculator has exactly the intended effect and gives you chance to do calculations easily. If you input something incorrectly, it says “syntax error”.
