How do I use the Quick Settings panel?
There are loads of handy settings and features on your Galaxy device, but getting to them quickly can be difficult. The Quick Settings panel means that you don't have to search through the settings app to find what you need. For example, you can open the Quick Settings to quickly turn off the Wi-Fi, use the torch or mirror your phone screen to your TV. You can even customise the Quick Settings panel so that your most used features are only a swipe away.
Please note: If you want to find out more about how to use your device, go to Samsung Support to get help, find answers and download manuals for your device.
The Quick Settings panel is tucked away above your notification tray. You can choose to view your favourite Quick Settings or open the whole Quick Settings panel.

Opening all your Quick Settings
The Quick Settings panel is great for quickly turning on and off your most used features. It can also be used to quickly change the settings for a feature or open the settings app.
You can change the order of the buttons in the Quick Settings panel to make it even easier to access your most used features. The first six buttons will appear when you open the notification tray.
Flight mode isn't just great for when you're going on holiday. Flight mode is the quickest way to turn off your mobile network, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections with just one tap. This makes it super handy for all those times that you don't want to be disturbed or don't want a notification to come through.
The Settings menu provides a fuller list of settings to change on your device. To access the full settings menu, tap the settings cog from the Quick Settings panel or open the Settings app.
From the Settings menu you can change a variety of different settings; from language and keyboard settings, to lock settings, accessibility settings and more.
