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

Tips & Tricks

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

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:

Head into Settings.
Hit Display.
Select Navigation Bar.
Press Button Layout.
Choose Back – Home – Recents.

Pretty simple, right?
