QuickBar: Photo Shortcuts

Your favorites. One slide away.
Reach your favorite apps, links, and contacts right from your notification shade.

A loved one, your child, your favorite star, or a view from an unforgettable trip.
Turn a photo that makes you smile into your own QuickBar.

Bring your favorite photos and everyday shortcuts together, ready whenever you pull down your notification shade.


■ Make it yours with photos

Add a personal touch to a space you open every day.
Customize both your QuickBar background and shortcut icons.

- Photo backgrounds — Personalize your notification shade with your own photos of loved ones, a favorite celebrity or K-pop idol, or memorable travel moments.
- Photo icons — Replace shortcut icons with your own photos or images.
- Background colors — Choose a color for a simple, clean look.
- Fine adjustments — Adjust icon corners, size, and opacity. Show or hide icon names and change their text color.
- Recent backgrounds — Easily reuse your recent colors and images.

Use the live preview to create a QuickBar that fits your style.


■ Your everyday favorites, together

No need to go back to your home screen and dig through folders.
Simply swipe down and tap what you need.

- Apps — Open your everyday messaging, social, banking, and other apps.
- Links — Jump straight to your favorite websites or saved links.
- Contacts — Open the dialer with your contact's number already filled in.

Adjust the number of columns and rows to fit your shortcuts.
Contact shortcuts never place calls automatically. Review the number and tap to call when you're ready.


■ Give empty space a shortcut, too

Tap an empty spot in your QuickBar to open a shortcut.
It opens the QuickBar app by default, but you can change it to an app, link, or contact.

See the usage options below for access to this customization.


■ Put it on your home screen

Add a QuickBar widget using your current setup.
Enjoy the same personalized photo background and shortcuts right on your home screen.


■ Keep notifications under control

See which apps send frequent notifications.
Select the apps you want to manage, and QuickBar will open their system notification settings one by one.

You decide whether to turn notifications off. When you return to QuickBar, it checks the current setting and moves to the next selected app.

- Notification titles and message contents are not read or stored.
- Counts are based on the sending app and notification time.
- Notification access is requested only when you use this optional feature.
