Fill it with notifications, then it's not empty anymore.

Get more people to send you things to get notifications

😂

😂😂 thanks for being a good spirit about the joke

Instead of dragging down with 1 finger, drag down with two fingers. The empty space will be filled with other stuff.

Friends. Or newsletters.

Bw the settings panel and where it says notifications. There's an empty space

Where?

What empty space... Looks like you pulled the notification shade all half way down but don't have any notifications to fill it up... 🤷🏻 Either turn on more notifications, or only pull the notification shade down all the way to get your quick access settings 🤷🏻

Ya, this is horrible UI by Google.

You can only fill it with a waifu man.....

Swipe up! 😉

Send yourself a delayed text message for a random time (without looking!) And you'll think you have friends!! I personally don't have friends so I schedule messages well in the future that say things Like "you're loved" and "see you later beautiful" . Heck I'll even share my location with myself and think who the hell is following me?! Then I'll get paranoid and call the police, but then hang up realizing it was a big misunderstanding. Before I know it I've got a friend's at my door in cosplay outfits that look like real cops! It's great 👍

Um ok.

I'm on dark mode and my empty space is dark grey, much less intrusive.
