Step by step

   Open the full Quick Settings panel

   Swipe down from the top of your screen with two fingers, or swipe down once and then swipe down a second time to reveal the full panel of tiles. Ensure the grid is fully expanded before proceeding.

   Enter edit mode

   Locate the Pencil icon situated at the bottom-left or bottom-center of the expanded settings panel. Tap this icon to transition the view into editing mode, where you can move and swap tiles.

   Note: On some device manufacturers, this may appear as a three-dot menu icon labeled 'Edit buttons'.

   Rearrange active tiles

   Identify the tile you wish to move. Long-press the icon, then drag it to your desired position within the grid and release. The first few tiles in the top row appear in your collapsed status bar view.
