Larger media lockscreen buttons

The skip track or skip forward buttons are minuscule. So difficult to press they almost shouldn't even be there. Maybe android 14 will fix this, but this would be such an easy win and nice QoL improvement if it could be patched to worry less about looking nice but also being functional so I can use them to skip a track or fast forward.

here's an example of the musicolet custom lockscreen.  Reasonably sized buttons and just much more usable. Only applies when that app is actively playing music though.

I have average sized hands. I imagine this problem is much worse for those with big hands.

Hey @jwest88,

Thank you for your feedback. I'll forward your suggestion to the R&D team.

Well, that's what a small-sized phone has. I think it's normal. 

Ah, on Android 14 it's still the same, look at my screenshot:

I think by thinking of it as normal you're selling yourself short as a consumer.  The designers and companies should be thinking of those things when designing a phone and operating system. 

It's basic usability.  A QoL feature that should be factored into the design.   There is plenty of space on that area to just make the buttons larger.  It's 90 plus percent a background image.
