You Can Bring Back One-Tap 'Do Not Disturb' to Your Google Pixel

Image
Software updates are great when they make features better, but that doesn't always happen. Case in point: a recent Google Pixel update that's brought in a flurry of complaints . One of the least popular changes altered how Pixels handle the Do Not Disturb feature. Previously, you could swipe down from the top of your Pixel's screen and press the Do Not Disturb button in quick settings to toggle it on or off. The March 2025 update changed that, forcing you to make multiple taps to activate or deactivate Do Not Disturb on your Google Pixel smartphone. Plenty of Google Pixel users took to Reddit to complain about this change. Fortunately, there are easy ways to fix this behavior. Restore one-tap Do Not Disturb to your Google Pixel smartphone The easiest way to bring back the old Do No Disturb button is by downloading an app. Simple DND lets you do exactly what the old button used to.

Around November of last year, when readers were certainly not paying attention to anything else , Nintendo briefly shared that the Nintendo Switch 2 would be backwards compatible with games for the original Nintendo Switch . Fast forward to this year, and it turns out that’s not so clear cut.

Image
If you're a gamer born in the '80s or '90s, you might have some strong nostalgia for the Nintendo GameCube. It's not just your childhood memories fueling those opinions: It's a great console, with classic library to boot: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker ; Mario Kart: Double Dash ; and Super Smash Bros. Melee , just to name a few. It might be tempting, then, to pick up a new GameCube controller, specifically designed for Nintendo Switch 2 , and all the GameCube games Nintendo plans to make available through a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. If you're lucky enough to snag the new console at launch, you'll be able to play Wind Waker , Soulcalibur II , and F-Zero GX , with more titles on the way . Sure, you could use the Joy-Cons or Switch Pro controller to play these games, but why not fully commit to the bit, and play these GameCube titles with the controller they were designed for? The GameCube controller is not ideal for modern Switch 2 games I...
