Xiaomi: Open and Customize the Quick Settings Panel

If toggles like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or the flashlight seem to be missing from your quick settings, you probably have not fully expanded the panel yet. On Xiaomi phones, the complete quick settings grid sits behind a second swipe-down gesture, which is easy to miss. Without knowing this, you end up searching the full settings menu for functions that should be a single tap away.

Quick Settings Panel Access auf Xiaomi

The quick settings panel on Xiaomi phones sits behind two swipe gestures, which is why several toggles feel hidden even though they control everyday functions like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or the flashlight.

MIUI splits the status bar into two layers. The first swipe down shows a short row of the most-used toggles together with notifications. A second swipe down expands that row into the full quick settings grid.

To reach every available toggle, follow this path: Swipe downwards to open the quick settings/control centerSwipe downwards to access all quick settingsEnable or disable the desired feature/function.

This layout keeps the status bar compact while still giving instant access to system functions without opening the full Settings app. If a toggle you need still is not visible after the second swipe, the related feature may depend on another setting or on current hardware availability, such as a missing SIM for mobile data toggles.

Toggling a function on or off in the expanded grid changes the setting immediately across the system. There is no separate confirmation step, so a wrong tap can be undone the same way by tapping the icon again.

Frequently asked questions

The first swipe down on the status bar only opens a compact row with a handful of toggles and your notifications. You need a second Swipe downwards to access all quick settings from that same position to expand it into the complete grid.
