One similarly egregious UX issue on the latest Android is that pressing buttons in the dropdown tray doesn't give any feedback until the action is complete. I can press the "turn on WiFi" button and receive zero haptics or visual indication that the phone registered my tap, for over a second, and THEN it will decide "okay! let's shake the phone and change button color now".

And if you have a tray button that needs to e.g reach over the network to a HomeAssistant instance that needs to itself reach out to some fuckass IoT vendor server, you may as well not expect any sort of feedback before you close the tray.

That's a good example of bad UX, and, in a way, counter to the article.

It sounds like Android needs a middle state indicator. When your action is in a pending state, the state indicator should not be the same as the previous state. A common pattern is to show a pending animation.

While this animation is running, what should happen if the user presses the button?

I've yet to update to Android 17, but I ended up disabling haptics on 16 because the annoying pop sound feels like a gimmick compared to what haptic feedback used to be.
