The quick launch feature in the Google Pixel Launcher, allowing for easy access to frequently used apps, has seen changes in Android 14 and 15. While previously accessible via a hidden flag in Android 14, this method no longer functions in Android 15. This might leave some users frustrated who relied upon this feature for quicker app access.

According to a report by 9to5Google (https://9to5google.com/2023/05/16/pixel-launcher-quick-launch/), the quick launch functionality was temporarily exposed through a hidden flag in Android 14. However, this flag is no longer accessible in Android 15, effectively disabling the quick launch feature for those running the latest update.

Some users have taken to Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/android_beta/comments/14xydbv/enable_quick_launch_persistently/) to discuss possible workarounds and share their experiences with the missing quick launch functionality. While the situation is currently unclear as to whether this feature will be reintroduced or replaced, the community continues to search for solutions.
