Miss the Android 12L taskbar? It’s here as an option in Android 15 DP2
Android 15 DP2 brings an option to allow users to choose between taskbar styles. This minor yet notable change will benefit users of large-screen devices including the Google Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet.
Mishaal Rahman (via AndroidAuthority) reported that Android 15 DP2 comes with an option to choose between taskbar styles. After tapping and holding on an open space, a new Always show taskbar toggle will appear.
Taskbar, which debuted with Android 12L, was a permanent fixture at the bottom of tablets and foldables. It evolved with Android 13 and refined with Android 14, whereas Android 15 will bring taskbar styles.
Android 15 DP2 adds a new "slow keys" accessibility feature for physical keyboards. It also adds the new "bounce keys" and "sticky keys", as well as previews for the keyboard layout, that I previously spotted.

Google doesn’t have a wide range of large-screen products on its own. Still, the company has been swiftly optimizing the Android operating system for foldable and tablet devices.
Google has recently released the Developer Preview 2 for Pixel devices. While the Public Beta program will likely start in mid-April, the Stable update could start hitting eligible Pixel devices by October this year.
