  "Android 16 adds a new API that lets apps integrate their
   own settings with the Android Settings app, and if this 
   API becomes broadly adopted, it could transform Android 
   Settings into a one-stop shop for both device & app settings."
   <https://www.androidauthority.com/android-16-app-settings-3540868/>

It's debatable whether Android developers will actually take advantage of
this API, though, as iOS offers a similar API that few iOS developers take
advantage of.

Personally, I accomplish that same effect, today, with one-tap shortcuts.

If you know what an Android "activity" is, you make a link to it.
Then you give that link an icon and you put it in a settings folder.

An app that makes those links a single tap is, as usual, Muntashirakon.
