How to customize Galaxy S7 quick setting buttons after Android Nougat update?

New features in Galaxy S7 quick setting buttons after Android Nougat update. You can customize the layout of quick setting buttons, in addition to ordering them.

What are the changes for Galaxy S7 quick setting buttons in Android Nougat update?

After applying Android Nougat update for Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, you may noticed the quick setting buttons (icons) were changed.

It seems it is part of Samsung’s design overhaul for material design.

In addition to the aesthetic update, there are four major changes:

  1. The swipe (left or right) gesture in notification panel is no longer working for the top row of quick setting buttons. There are  now up to 6 buttons only (instead of 10 in two panels in previous versions).
  2. You can customize the layout of the quick settings buttons: 3×3, 4×3 or 5×3.
  3. New buttons were added, including, performance mode, data saver, private mode, phone visibility, blue light filter and smart view.
  4. Brightness control can be placed above notifications, or below the 3-row quick setting buttons. You decide!
  5. You can add buttons of third-party apps to quick setting buttons.

Please note, the size of quick setting buttons is a bit smaller. If you want to make it bigger, you can change screen zoom level.

How to customize Galaxy S7 quick setting buttons after Android Nougat update?

In the notification panel, only first 6 quick setting buttons will be shown after Android Nougat update.

As in previous versions of Android, you can swipe down again from notification panel to access Galaxy S7 quick setting buttons with Android Nougat update.

You can also swipe down with two fingers from the status bar to access Galaxy S7 quick setting buttons.

In the quick settings button, you can tap the menu key (3 vertical dots) as shown below.

You will then have two options for customizing Galaxy S7 quick setting buttons after Android Nougat update:

  • Button layout (marked as 2 in the screenshot below). This is a new option for customizing quick setting buttons in Android Nougat udpate.
  • Edit (marked as 1). This option allows you to order the buttons.

As shown above, you can use one of the three button layout: 3×3, 4×3 or 5×3, to customize Galaxy S7 quick setting buttons after Android Nougat update.

After you choose the desired button layout, you need tap OK button as shown above to apply the change.

Please note, the size of the buttons can only be adjusted by screen zoom.

The button layout does not change the size of these quick buttons. It only adjust the gap between buttons (and adjust the number of panels for all buttons).

In addition, button layout setting does not change the number of buttons shown on the top of notification panel. The number is fixed as 10

If you want to adjust the location of individual button, you can tap Edit, then  tap and hold the button to move it to a new location.

Remember, the first 6 buttons will be shown in the top of notification panel.

You can now add quick setting buttons for third-party apps as shown above.

As show in the screenshot above, you can add two of the quick setting buttons from third-party apps.   This gives you more options to customize Galaxy S7 quick setting buttons in Android Nougat.

It is up to individual app developer to decide whether their app uses this feature or not.

How to use Galaxy S7 quick setting buttons after Android Nougat update?

The usage of Galaxy S7 quick setting buttons does not change in Android Nougat update for Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge.

Some buttons are for you to toggle on/off corresponding features. In this case, you can tap the button to turn it on (if it is off) or turn it off (if it is on).

Some buttons may ask you to make a selection after tapping it. For example, if you tap performance mode button, or smart view, you will be prompted with options.

For most quick setting buttons, you can tap and hold them to access the corresponding pages in Settings.

Can you customize Galaxy S7 quick setting buttons after Android Nougat update?

        Yes it works normal from the setting. Now after I cleared the cache, the short cut disappeared from the quick setting. So i don’t even have it there. Very strange.

          You may just reboot the phone to see whether it appears.

          As explained in the page, you can remove some icons from the quick setting buttons. When you are in quick setting buttons, tap the menu key (3 vertical dots, next to Settings icon), then tap reorder buttons to see whether the button is shown below.

    I lost my shortcut icons in the settings app (not pull down menu) and I can’t find a way to create them again. Under the real settings icon, I was able to have many settings shortcuts that really saved time (like wifi, battery…)

      The quick setting entries in the settings app were removed long time ago in Samsung phones. Some third-party launchers may have the option.

    Hello there. I’m actually just learning about the quick settings. Yes, I’m slow… I have had this S7 edge for 2 years. Can I only add something to the quick settings that shows up underneath when I hit the edit option, aka,the three vertical dots? I actually just learned about “Android Easter Eggs” and I read that I’m supposed to add the Easter egg app to my quick settings, but I am unable to figure this out. Is it possible? I do hope I made myself clear(ish) enough for you to get what I’m trying to say. I do thank you for your time! This page/site seems super helpful. I am happy that I stumbled upon it.

      You need to enable the easter egg game first in Settings –About phone –Software information, tap Android version 3 or more times. Nowe you get the big N. Tap it 6 times, then tap and hold it. In the bottom, you should see am emoji of a cat. if you get the emoji of the stop sign, then, you just need to tap and hold one more time. Now, you can find the ??? in the button list (the last one, second page).

      You cannot. It’s up to developer to add shortcuts available in quick settings panel since Nougat.

      But for your case, USB tethering is a system app. Samsung doesn’t offer the feature for it.

      You can create a shortcut on the home screen with third-party apps.

    Hi

    I updated to Nougat maybe a month ago in my Galaxy S7 Edge. Today I got a new update and now I’m not able to edit the quick setting buttons. Some of them became inactive, I tap edit but once there I can’t drag and drop any icon!

    Do you know how can I fix it?

    Last version is: G935FXXU1DQI8/G935FTCE1DQI8/G935FXXU1DQHD

      Whether you have the mobile hotspot option in quick settings depends on the firmware. In most regions and most carriers, the mobile hotspot button can be found among quick setting buttons.

    Hello!

    My s7 just updated to Nougat and I don’t have the mobile data or the mobile hotspot on the quick settings. Although honestly before it updated I didn’t notice if it was there but now that I constantly use my data i still need to go to settings to turn it on or off.

    Is it because of the update or the network provider?

    thank you

      1. There are two pages of quick setting buttons. Did you check both pages?
      2. Some buttons may be not active. Did you talk edit button in quick setting buttons page to see where they are listed in the bottom as inactive buttons?

      You can share screenshots of these pages in our Facebook page if you still cannot find them.

      It’s still there. Did you tap the edit button to see whether it’s among the inactive buttons on the bottom? If yes, you can move it up to active area.

      Also, there are two pages of the quick setting buttons, did you check both pages (swipe right/left)?

          Take a screenshot and share it in our Facebook page. You can show us 3 pages: two pages of the buttons and the page are tapping edit button.

    I want to have the ability to edit my shortcuts to be whatever I want in the settings menu like I did in the previous version. Now I have to go through three layers to turn my Mobile data on and off. Giant pain in the butt.

      Which button are you referring to, mobile data or hotspot? Did you tap menu key – edit in quick settings page?

    I have Verizon and they removed the private icon on the second update they pushed out for Nougat. Anyway to get it back. It’s still available through settings but not nearly as convenient.

      Found it. It was the only icon not already displayed. Had to go to edit and add it. FYI mobile hotspot is there too.

    I have just updated to 7.0 on a Virgin Mobile Galaxy S7. Like other users here, the “Mobile Hotspot” quick settings icon is not available in the list of quick settings to add. I have checked both pages.

    I have read that it may be disabled by certain carriers. Can you comment? Is Virgin Mobile one of the carriers that has disabled it?

    Thanks

      Can to find it in settings – connections? Some buttons may appear in quick setting buttons only after you use it

      Yes, carrier may block this feature in their specific models. But most carriers don’t block it nowadays as I know

        Thanks for the reply. I have activated it many times from the settings – connections, but unfortunately, it still does not show up in the available quick settings. It was available prior to the 7.0 update. Frustrating. I’ll stop in to a Virgin kiosk to see if they have any input. If I find out anything useful, I will report back. Thanks again.

          If you can use it through settings, then there should be a button. Did you try to enter edit mode to see all buttons? As mentioned in the page, tap menu key – edit. Inactive buttons are in the bottom.

          If you still have problems, take a screenshot after tapping edit button and share it in our Facebook page. Remember, there are two pages of buttons. You can swipe right and left to access them.

            I have had this same issue.
            I did enter edit mode and look at both pages to see if it was just hidden, but unfortunately this is not the case. I tried contacting both Rogers and Samsung, but they both say that it is no longer available even though I can clearly see that other people do not have this issue.
            I don’t have Facebook unfortunately so I could take a screenshot, but I can’t share it through Facebook. This is so frustrating. I use this feature several times a day…

      You can enable it in settings – connections – hotspot and tethering.

      If you still have problem to find the button, you can share a screenshot in our Facebook page so that others can see whether you are in the correct page.

        I have checked both pages. I can access it through settings and connections but would like the shortcut back as it was before the update.

        I took a screenshot but will need to know the name of your Facebook page in order to post it (the link wants me to login again and I just want to go directly through my facebook).
