Xiaomi: Access and Customize the Quick Settings Panel

Missing toggles in the Quick Settings panel force you to dig through the full settings app for basic switches like Flashlight, Hotspot or Battery saver. On Xiaomi phones, MIUI splits the panel across two swipe-down layers, so some tiles stay hidden until you swipe down again. Reordering or removing tiles you rarely use is simple once you find the edit mode.

Quick Settings Panel Guide auf Xiaomi

On Xiaomi phones the Quick Settings panel is split into two layers. The first swipe down from the top of the screen shows only a handful of tiles, while a second swipe reveals the rest, including brightness controls and less common toggles like Hotspot or Screen recorder.

This layout saves screen space but often hides the exact tile you need, especially right after a MIUI update when the tile order resets or a new toggle appears in a different position.

To reach any toggle, use this path:

Swipe downwards to open the Control centerSwipe downwards to access more quick settingsEnable or disable the desired feature/function

If a feature is not listed at all in either layer, it usually has to be enabled once from the full settings app before it appears as a tile. Once activated there, the toggle shows up in Quick Settings and can be switched on or off directly from the panel afterward.

For features you use daily, moving the tile closer to the first swipe-down layer through the edit mode saves repeated swiping.

Frequently asked questions

Open the Control center, swipe down again to reveal all tiles, then look for the edit or pencil icon to enter edit mode. Drag the tile you use most into one of the top rows so it appears after the first swipe down instead of the second.
