Change the Quick panel icons on your Galaxy phone or tablet

Access the Quick panel with swipe navigation

Starting with newer Galaxy phones and tablets running One UI 7.0, like the Galaxy S25, the Quick panel has changed so that Notifications are separated from the Quick settings. Earlier Galaxy devices running One UI 6.1.1 or lower still use the standard swipe method to access the Notifications and the Quick settings.
 

To check for your One UI version:

1. navigate to and open the device's Settings. 
2. Swipe down and tap About phone or About tablet.
3. Tap Software information.

Access the Quick settings

You know that tapping a Quick panel icon automatically activates certain features. But what about when you want to access the feature’s settings, such as the Flashlight's brightness setting?

1. Open the Quick panel by swiping down from the top right of the screen.
2. Then, tap the name of the feature under the icon.
3. If you want to access the Flashlight settings, tap the word Flashlight.
   

A setting menu will automatically appear. Sometimes, you may need to tap Details to be taken to the full settings page. Also, please note that certain settings might be grayed out or will not appear if the feature is turned off (e.g., Wi-Fi networks may not show if Wi-Fi is turned off).

Maybe you don’t use the flashlight very often, or you want to keep Do not disturb quickly accessible. If that's the case, you can change the button order so your favorite shortcuts show up first. You'll also be able to hide features you don't use often, or add icons that may be missing from the defaults.

1. To open the Quick panel, swipe down from the top right of the screen. For devices running One UI 6.1.1 or lower, use two fingers to swipe down from the top of the screen.
2. Tap the Edit icon (it looks like a pencil.)
3. You can edit the quick settings that appear. Tap Edit.
4. To move a button, touch and hold it, and then drag it into the desired position. Tap Done when you're finished.

Aside from buttons, you can organize the layout of certain controls on your Quick panel!
 

Devices running One UI 7.0 and above:

4. Tap Back when you're done.
