Features & Capabilities

Configure and switch Private DNS modes straight from your Android Quick Settings panel. Private DNS Quick Setting lets you pick preferred DNS modes to include in the toggle and provides a quick tile for instant switching without opening system settings.

Changing the Private DNS requires the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission, which must be granted via Shizuku or ADB. To grant the permission with Shizuku, start the Shizuku service and open the app to have it applied automatically. To use ADB, run:

adb shell pm grant com.flashsphere.privatednsqs android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

See https://private-dns-qs.web.app/help for step-by-step setup instructions. If you need per-DNS switching between many entries, consider alternatives like https://github.com/karasevm/PrivateDNSAndroid.

User Reviews

Users appreciate the app for simplifying Private DNS toggling, saving time, and filling a missing feature in Android. It's praised for its straightforward function and helpful quick settings integration. However, several users mention the challenge of setting up 'write secure settings' permission via ADB and desire easier permission management. Some face permission errors or seek features like hiding the launcher icon without losing tile access. Overall, the app is valued for its utility and effectiveness despite minor setup hurdles.

Pros

Fills a functionality gap not natively offered by Android.
Simple and effective user experience with helpful quick settings tile.
Quality of life improvement for managing DNS settings across different networks.

Cons

Requires granting 'write secure settings' permission via ADB, which can be complicated for some users.
Some users find setup process a bit complex and not very straightforward.
Lacks an option to hide the launcher icon without affecting tile access, which some users desire.
Does not support root automatic permission granting, requiring manual ADB commands.
A few users report permission errors or that the app doesn't work on their device.

Thank you. This tool is very useful to me. It lets me quickly switch the DNS to AdGuard to block ads while playing Microsoft Solitaire Collection, and then switch the DNS back to Auto when I'm done playing 😁
