7 Google Pixel Phone Settings You Should Change Immediately

Whether this is your first time using a Google Pixel, or just using Android phones in general, do yourself a favor and get familiar with the quick settings menu. You can access it by swiping down from the top of the screen. The Quick Settings menu, as the name suggests, presents you with a layout of one-tap shortcuts, including Wi-Fi connections, Bluetooth, alarms, location services, and more.

You can modify this list of toggles by tapping on the pencil icon when the list of Quick Settings is expanded. Then, just drag and drop the shortcuts, delete the ones you don’t need, and position the toggles however you like.

As a bonus tip, it never hurts to set up a timed night light — think digital blue light filter — when you’re using your phone before bedtime. Tap and hold the Night Light quick settings toggle to open its full settings > set the filter intensity (the stronger, the warmer-toned the display becomes) > then set a schedule.
