Galaxy S8 Tip: How to change the order of the on-screen buttons

The Galaxy S8 is Samsung’s first flagship smartphone to sport on-screen buttons. However, instead of opting for the stock Android arrangement (Back, Home and Recents), the company kept its traditional order — Recents, Home and Back. Fortunately, as they aren’t physical buttons, you can switch the order of them.

Here’s how:

  1. Head into Settings.
  2. Hit Display.
  3. Select Navigation Bar.
  4. Press Button Layout.
  5. Choose Back – Home – Recents.

Pretty simple, right?
