About this guide

The quick panel holds the buttons for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, the torch and more. On One UI 8 its edit view also lets you resize some of them and add controls that are hidden by default, such as the Screen recorder.

The screenshots are from a Samsung Galaxy A57 5G with One UI 8.5 and Android 16. Other Galaxy phones on One UI 8 use the same menus; on older One UI versions a few names and positions differ. We opened the edit view and backed out without saving.
