The revolutionary shortcut configuration feature introduced in Android 16 QPR1 is set to appear in HyperOS 3, bringing unprecedented Control Center flexibility to Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco devices.
This development follows Google’s innovative approach to managing quick settings in the new Android 16, where users can now resize, rearrange, and fully customize their control switches.
With Xiaomi’s design philosophy close to reflecting the elements of iOS, and Google’s implementation of this feature in Android 16, Xiaomi is highly likely to seamlessly integrate this functionality into its proprietary HyperOS 3 platform.

A revolutionary setting
The updated panel includes resizable quick settings icons, new Wi-Fi and Bluetooth switches, and an improved tile editor and shortcuts for adding or removing them.
This means that HyperOS 3 users will finally be able to create truly personalized Control Centers that match their usage patterns, and the ability to resize individual tiles from wide 2×1 blocks to standard 1×1 squares opens up completely new layout possibilities.
The new Control Center configuration options will offer Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco users with HyperOS 3 firmware the following:
- Resize the control tiles to fit more switches on the screen.
- The ability to drag tiles to the desired positions.
- Create customized layouts for different usage scenarios.
- Access to frequently used controls with a single tap.
Why will Xiaomi implement this feature in HyperOS 3?
Xiaomi has consistently borrowed successful design elements from the iOS interface, and since customization of quick settings already exists on the iPhone to a certain extent, it also makes sense for the Chinese company to implement it in Xiaomi HyperOS 3.0.
Moreover, fans of the Chinese company’s mobile technology have been asking for this for a long time.
Expected release dates for HyperOS 3
The official release date of HyperOS 3 has not yet been announced, but based on the releases of previous versions, it is safe to assume that it will be introduced in China in September-October 2025, and outside of China, HyperOS 3 will be seen in October or November.
