How to customize the Galaxy S8 quick buttons

The Galaxy S8, as well as other smartphones that run Android 7 (Nougat), has a curtain of useful buttons to a splash of the home screen. These shortcuts speed up access to your phone's settings, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and data networking, and are located in a customizable dashboard.

By default, Samsung phones display various items in this area, but the user can leave everything cleaner or even fuller as needed. See, in this tutorial, the step-by-step how to customize the quick-fix icons on the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus.
