    Edit tiles shows your current tiles at the top, with Remove at the top right.

    Scroll down to a group such as Utilities. Tap + on the tile you want. We added QR code scanner.

  4. Android screenshot: Check it was added

    Check it was added

    The added tile turns grey in its group, as QR code scanner did under Utilities.

  5. Android screenshot: Find it in your tiles

    Scroll back up. The new tile sits at the end of your tiles, after Mobile data on ours.

  6. Android screenshot: Remove a tile

    Tap a tile in your tiles to select it, then tap Remove at the top right.

  7. Android screenshot: Check it is gone

    Check it is gone

    The tile left your tiles. Ours were back to how they were before.

If you do not see this option

  • Tile not in the list? Google says some tiles are on another page or in another group; scroll through Connectivity, Utilities and Display. Source: Scan QR codes on your Pixel phone
  • Edit button missing? Swipe down twice: the first swipe shows notifications only. The button is at the bottom right of the full tile grid.

If this does not work

  • Want the old layout back? Tap the undo arrow at the top of Edit tiles before you leave.
  • Remove does nothing? Remove acts on the selected tile. Tap a tile in your tiles first so it is outlined.
  • Tiles too small? Select a tile in Edit tiles to resize it.

About this guide

Quick Settings is the grid of tiles you swipe down for. Edit tiles groups the tiles you can add, such as Connectivity, Utilities and Display.

The screenshots are from our Google Pixel 10a with Android 17 (build CP3A.260905.009), in Dark mode. We added the QR code scanner tile and removed it again.

Good to know

Use the QR scanner tile: how to scan a QR code on a Pixel.

In short: Swipe down twice, edit button, Edit tiles, + to add, Remove to take off.
