Why are you making it harder to turn off Wi-Fi?

With this new design, you can quickly switch between Wi-Fi and Cellular connections by just selecting your cell network from the new Internet Panel.
From our user studies, we found that the majority of users turn off Wi-Fi in order to force their phone to connect to cellular.
This is usually done in response to a poor Wi-Fi connection and the lack of an alternative way to get the phone to explicitly connect to the user’s carrier.
Users who turn off Wi-Fi will often forget to turn Wi-Fi back on again, resulting in possible excess mobile data usage.
Our research showed that this has been a pain point for users, so we made the decision to address it with this release.
With the changes we’re making, users who have Wi-Fi connection issues can simply switch over to using their carrier with two quick taps.
In our user research studies, long-time Android users acknowledged that the change took some time to get used to, but once they did, they found the Panel to be a more intuitive and straightforward way for users to solve their Wi-Fi connectivity issues, while reducing user error and unintended consequences.
