Modifying Quick Settings in Notification Panel on Android Pie
Customizing Quick Settings on Android Pie
Android Pie, the latest version of Google's mobile operating system, allows users to customize their quick settings panel for a more personalized experience. Here's a guide on how to do it on standard Android Pie devices and some popular manufacturers' custom skins.
Standard Android Pie (e.g., Google Pixel devices)
To customize quick settings on Android Pie, start by swiping down twice from the top of the screen to fully expand the quick settings panel. Tap the pencil or edit icon, usually located at the bottom or top corner, to reorder, add, or remove tiles. You can drag tiles to rearrange them, add new tiles from the available list, or remove existing ones by tapping and holding tiles. Once done, tap back or swipe up to save changes.
Samsung devices with One UI (Android Pie era or newer)
Samsung uses a customized UI (One UI 1.x during Pie), which allows similar quick settings customization. Swipe down fully on the notification shade and tap the three-dot menu or edit button to access the edit mode. You can drag and drop toggles to rearrange or add new ones. Samsung offers more toggle options and additional customization but follows a broadly similar procedure to stock Android.
Other manufacturers (e.g., Xiaomi, OnePlus, Huawei)
Many OEMs add their own skins and custom quick settings layouts. To access the edit mode, swipe down twice, look for an edit or pencil icon, and customize tiles by dragging to add, reorder, or remove them. Some custom ROMs or skins may have additional special settings or require deeper settings menu navigation for advanced customization.
Notes and Limitations
On Android Pie, the System UI Tuner option, a hidden menu for advanced UI tweaks including notification and quick settings customization, might be available by long-pressing the settings gear icon in the notification shade. However, this feature may be disabled or hidden by many OEMs. Newer Android versions have redesigned quick settings and notification panels, but those changes are not applicable to Pie and may be device-specific.
In summary, the most direct and universal method on Android Pie is to expand the quick settings fully, tap the edit/pencil icon, and then drag tiles to customize them. The exact UI details depend largely on the particular phone manufacturer’s skin or customization layer. Samsung’s One UI and other OEM UIs add their own tweaks and layouts but keep similar mechanics for customization. Advanced customizations (if available) may require enabling System UI Tuner, which is not consistently accessible on all devices.
