Huawei: Customize the Quick Settings Panel

If NFC, mobile data or the flashlight toggle keep disappearing from your Quick Settings, the panel setup needs adjusting rather than the swipe gesture. Huawei phones only show a limited set of switches by default, so frequently used ones can end up missing. This slows down access to functions you'd normally toggle in one move.

Quick Settings: Manage Toggles auf Huawei

The Quick Settings panel on Huawei phones bundles frequently used switches like WiFi, mobile data, airplane mode, screenshot, flashlight and NFC into one screen. You reach it by swiping down with two fingers from the top edge, which skips the notification list and opens the panel directly.

Only a limited number of tiles appear by default. When NFC, hotspot or other switches seem to be missing, the panel setup needs editing rather than the swipe gesture itself.

To adjust it: Swipe with two fingers to open the quick settingsEnable or disable the desired quick setting. This lets you activate the switches you use daily and hide the ones you never touch, which speeds up access to core functions.

If a single-finger swipe from the top only reveals notifications, that is expected behavior - the two-finger gesture is the dedicated shortcut into Quick Settings.

Editing the toggle selection has no effect on the underlying feature itself. Removing a switch from the panel does not disable the function, it just removes the shortcut. Full settings for each function remain available in the system settings app.
