Summary
The article highlights three useful but hidden settings in Android 17 (available on Pixel devices initially). These features are buried in the settings menu and not enabled by default, which the author finds puzzling. The piece walks through each setting, explaining what it does, why it's useful, and how to enable it. The author argues that these features improve the user experience significantly and should be more prominently surfaced by Google.
