Open Quick Settings
Swipe your finger from the top right corner of the screen downward to open the quick settings panel.
Screen brightness
Swipe upward for a brighter screen (useful outdoors, in the sun) or downward for a darker screen (useful at night, and saves battery).
Volume
Swipe your finger upward on it for louder sound, or downward for quieter — it controls the sound for calls, videos, and notifications.
Camera
Immediately opens the Camera app, without needing to search for its icon.
Wi-Fi
Turns on or off the connection to a wireless internet network, at your home or wherever else you are.
Airplane Mode
Temporarily disables all connections: calls, messages, Wi-Fi, and data. Usually used on an airplane, when requested.
Silent Mode
Mutes call and message sounds, without deleting them.
Flashlight
Turns on the camera flash as a flashlight so you have light.
