Samsung Settings could replace Google tab with your name

Android’s Settings could rename the Google tab with your name, potentially coming to Samsung phones as well. A recent finding indicates that your Google account name could soon shine in your phone’s Settings menu.

Google’s preparing to make a minor tweak in the Settings menu. AndroidAuthority discovered in Play Services version 24.42.31 (Beta) that the Google tab in Samsung and Android’s Settings menu could be replaced with the user’s name.

That said, your Galaxy or Pixel’s Settings page will display your account name instead of just “Google.” In case of more than one account logged in, the user-selected account name will be displayed on the Settings page.

It’s primarily a change coming to Android’s Settings menu. However, Samsung Galaxy phones would also adopt the tweak with the next upgrade. At present, Google is internally testing the Settings tweak on Android.

Replacing Google with a user account name does not bring any new perks to the user. It’s just a symbolic change aimed at making it easier to distinguish between different accounts in use on the smartphone.

The report notes that the name change can only be activated in Android 15. That said, a future update to Google Play Services would deploy the change. How do you rate this upcoming tweak in Settings, do you consider it an unnecessary change?
