Settings screen – sub screens vs expansion panel vs sections
I have an app which has a settings screen and the options are growing up, so I started thinking about grouping in some way, I have some options until now:
- Define a main, e.g. Design tile which sends to another screen which has all the options for Design;
- Use Expansion panels in the same hierarchy previosly cited;
- Continue with just a list with sections.
Some references:
- Twitter and Instagram use screens (option 1)
- Facebook has a section using expansion panel on settings; (option 2)
- Spotify doesn't almost any sub subject for settings, it's just a list with everything, even though they use sections; (option 3)
But I couldn't find any reason to choose one of those anywhere.
