Customize the Quick settings panel on your Samsung Galaxy

Starting with newer Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets running One UI 7.0, the Quick settings panel has changed so that Notifications and Quick settings are accessed separately. On earlier Galaxy devices running One UI 6.1.1 or lower, Notifications and Quick settings are still accessed using the same swipe gesture.

You can combine the Notification and Quick settings panels into a single view if you prefer the navigation method used on earlier Galaxy devices. This option is available on newer Galaxy phones and tablets that support the updated Quick settings layout introduced with One UI 7, as explained in the previous section, and it only takes a few simple steps to change how the panels are accessed.

The Quick settings panel gives you fast access to many of your device’s most useful features, without opening the Settings menu. You can quickly turn a feature on or off by tapping its icon, such as turning on the Flashlight or enabling Airplane mode. If you don’t see the option you need right away, swipe down again to view all available options.

You can edit the Quick settings buttons to control which features appear in the panel and how they are arranged. This makes it easier to keep your most-used features within reach while removing or moving buttons you don’t use as often. You can also add new buttons or change their order to better match how you use your Samsung Galaxy device.

In addition to editing buttons, you can adjust the layout of certain controls in the Quick settings panel to better suit how you use your device.
