Google recently released beta 15 of Android 3 for its compatible Pixels, but one small feature from previous versions has gone unnoticed so far, although it is far from trivial.
As detected Android AuthorityPixel Launcher, the software layer applied to the Google Pixel (whose interface is different from stock Android, contrary to what some users think), has a new home screen customization option. This is the ability to display the full name of applications below their icons.
Android 15 may let you view the full name of apps
Because yes, currently if an app’s name is too long, only the beginning is shown followed by three ellipses. For example, the “Amazon Store” app may appear as “Ama Store” on the Pixel home screen. This screen is not only unattractive, but it can also cause problems for some users who are not familiar with their application’s logo in knowing what is hidden behind it.
The setting to show full app names is in the Home screen menu, then in the App list Appearance and Behavior submenu. There is then an option to “Show full name of apps” which is disabled by default. We invite you to take a look at the image to get an idea of the interface difference between the two settings.Android Authority under.
The publication reminds that a similar function was hidden since beta 2 of Android 12L in early 2022 (it had to be enabled through a specific procedure, not from the settings), then disappeared with the Android 14 update QPR2 in late 2022. We hope that this time the option will be included in the stable version of Android 15 and will be easily accessible. Third-party manufacturers can leverage this to add it to their own coatings; It won’t necessarily be the Pixels who will benefit from this.
