How to Access/Change the Quick Settings on Nintendo Switch 2

Follow these steps to access and configure the Quick Settings on a Nintendo Switch 2 console.

Complete these steps

  1. Press and hold the HOME Button for at least one second to access Quick Settings. Within the Quick Settings screen you can access the following options:

    • Sleep Mode: Set the console to sleep mode.

    • Auto-Brightness: Enable/disable screen brightness adjustment based on ambient brightness.

    • Screen Brightness: Manually adjust screen brightness.

    • Volume Control: Adjust the volume for the active audio source (console speakers, wireless Bluetooth headphones, a wired headset, or external speakers).

    • Flight Mode: Disable all wireless communication functionality, including Internet communication, local communication, Bluetooth, and the NFC Reader/Writer. Some types of wireless communication can still be switched on manually when the console is in flight mode.

      Important: If the Joy-Con 2 are detached from the Nintendo Switch 2 console when flight mode is activated (tabletop mode), you must tap the console screen and enable Bluetooth communications within System Settings > Flight Mode > Bluetooth in order to operate the console with the Joy-Con 2.

    • GL/GR Buttons: When a compatible controller is connected and you have launched software, you can map the GL and GR Buttons to other buttons on the controller for convenience. This setting is saved on a per-game and per-user basis and is shared between different compatible controllers.

    • Button Mapping: Must be enabled through System Settings. You can jump to the Button Mapping menu to change mapping for a controller or swap between different presets.

  2. To exit Quick Settings, perform one of the following actions:

    • Press the B Button

    • Press the HOME Button

    • Tap outside of the Quick Settings screen
