TL;DR
Android 17 QPR 1 Beta 5 code revealed Google’s plan to require unlocking to toggle all Quick Settings tiles except Flashlight.
The latest Android Canary 2608 build includes code indicating a shift toward a middle ground, requiring unlocks only for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Mobile Data, and Airplane Mode toggles.
The new restriction seemingly targets tiles that thieves use to disable tracking while keeping lower-risk utilities like flashlight and auto-rotat
