Our phones have numerous functionalities to personalize the taste experience to our needs. One of the key areas to personalize this experience is the quick settings , which, as its name suggests, allows quick access to some essential system functionalities. Today we tell you how to access them even faster, without going through notifications.
Normally when we open the quick settings before we do it from the notifications, with the trick that we bring you today it is possible to access only the quick settings , without having to display the notifications first, something that often distracts us from what we want to do.
Access quick settings without seeing notifications
In all Android phones we access the quick settings in the same way, sliding the notification bar as we normally would to see them. In those cases, what ends up happening is that the first thing we see are notifications, something that can deviate us from our goal of activating a certain quick setting.
Well, you do not need to go through the notifications, since there is a method by which when the notification bar is displayed, the quick settings are shown directly, and no notification . Therefore we access them much faster, going to the great and without distractions.
How do I access the quick settings directly?
Well, it is very simple, because the key resides in the fingers that we use to slide the notification bar of our phone. Normally, to do this, we slide a finger from the top of the screen, to show both notifications and ultimately the quick settings. If what you want is that only the quick adjustments are those that appear when sliding, we must do it with two fingers . Instead of sliding a finger from the upper end, we must slide vertically with both fingers . In this way, the system understands that we want to access these controls, and not the usual notifications. Click on the image to see a video of this simple process.
To be able to access these notifications, once we have displayed the bar with the quick settings, we only have to swipe up with a single finger, and we will see how all the notifications of our phone appear on the screen. As you can see, it is a very subtle difference, but once we internalize it, it will allow us to access only the quick settings, instead of having to go through all the notifications on the phone first, something that can sometimes become something quite tedious.
