[PM-41337] UI/UX issue with the resizing option of the quick-action tiles (--> both tiles become indistinguishable) #7230

Description

@pamperer562580892423

Steps To Reproduce

Prerequisite: use Android 16 or higher!

  1. In the BW Android app, go to Settings -> Autofill -> and enable "Use accessibility" (though I do see the quick-action tiles also with that option disabled, though they may be functionless)
  2. On your Android 16 (or higher) phone, resize the two Bitwarden quick-action tiles as e.g. instructed/shown in this YouTube video (it's just any random first video I found on it).
  3. Observe the resized (smaller) quick-action tiles and try to distinguish which of the two is "My vault" and which is "Autofill".

Expected Result

The two different quick-action tiles for "My vault" and "Autofill" should be clearly distinguishable.

Actual Result

The two different quick-action tiles for "My vault" and "Autofill" are completely indistinguishable:

Screenshots or Videos

Without that resizing option, both quick-action tiles were and still are distinguishable - due to the text element:

Additional Context

I'll address the elephant in the room: I could see that this might be considered a "feature request". But I really think it should be seen as an "UI/UX issue"... maybe not even a bug per se, as it's not a malfunction of the BW app itself. It's rather a change in Android that it introduced this resizing function with Android 16. And I think, as written before, this should be seen as a resulting UI/UX issue. - Or in other words: it can't be "the expected behaviour of the software", that if you resize the two Bitwarden tiles (as part of an in-built Android feature) they then become indistinguishable under that condition.

To be honest, I report this as it was reported here on the Community Forum: https://community.bitwarden.com/t/android-app-make-the-quick-action-tiles-icons-easier-to-distinguish/100514

My own Fairphone 5 is still on Android 15, so at the moment I can't reproduce this myself.

Issue Tracking Info

  • I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.
