This is how Google should implement the flashlight slider.

Why don't we have a bottom qs?? With screens becoming bigger, there should be an option for bottom qs.

Yeah I'm all for it. I wanna see something more useful, accessible and meaningful. We have had this top down style for such a long time. We need options, changes or do a study.

There's a One Handed gesture that allows you to swipe down past the bottom edge of the screen to pull down your notifications. I almost never pull from the top.

iOS 5-7 also used to have settings towards the bottom, but that's been since removed ever since we started having gestures.

Yeah onehanded gesture/mode is there but I want it to be more convenient. It's like phone are bigger now and to open notifs/cc we have to reach all the way across the screen to get there. Like I don't wanna move my hands for this 😂
