Hi Ricardo, To get some background you can read this QEP and resulting pull requests: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/issues/124 https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/42597 https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/42860 https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/42954
Resumed shortly, there is a new preferred way of defining and using settings with the QgsSettingsEntry classes. QgsSettingsEntry internally uses QgsSettings and only a part of the QGIS codebase was ported to the new way. This means QgsSettings will stay available for now. If your plugin must be compatible with 3.16/3.18 you will have to stay with QgsSettings.
