    Android may soon make it easier to bring back the floating accessibility menu



    • Google is working on a feature that shows a notification when you dismiss the floating button that opens the accessibility menu.
    • Tapping this notification will bring back the floating accessibility button.
    • This feature isn’t live yet, but Google added code for it in Android 15, allowing us to show it off.



    Google offers a number of tools that aim to make Android phones accessible to as many users as possible, including Android’s aptly named accessibility menu. The large on-screen menu contains easy-to-interact-with buttons to control your Android device. There are buttons to launch the digital assistant, open the power menu, increase or decrease the volume, and more.

    Once you activate the feature in Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility menu, you’re presented with one of two ways to launch it. You can either enable a volume key shortcut, which requires you to press and hold both volume keys for three seconds, or you can enable the accessibility button — a floating button that sits on top of apps.
