设置(Settings)是您的Android 体验(Android experience)的重要组成部分。它们包含根据您的喜好设置和个性化您的智能手机所需的一切。虽然访问Android 设置(Settings)可能非常直观，但您可能会遇到一些问题，尤其是在新智能手机上，使用不熟悉的Android版本。阅读本教程以了解如何打开Android 设置(Settings)菜单：
注意：(NOTE:)在本教程中，我们使用了搭载Android 12的(Android 12)Google Pixel 4a和搭载Android 11(Android 11)的三星 Galaxy A51(Samsung Galaxy A51)。所有 Android 设备上的程序都相似，因此即使您拥有小米(Xiaomi)、华为(Huawei)、诺基亚(Nokia)、华硕(Asus)或其他制造商的智能手机，您也应该很高兴。如果您不知道自己的Android 版本(Android version)，以下是在智能手机或平板电脑(smartphone or tablet)上查看Android 版本(Android version)的方法。
1.从所有应用程序屏幕(All Apps screen)打开Android 设置(Android Settings)
即使使用相同的Android 版本(Android version)，不同制造商的用户界面(user interface)也略有不同。但无论布局如何，您总能在其中找到“设置”(Settings)的一个地方是“所有应用程序(All Apps)”屏幕。在主屏幕上(Home screen)，向上滑动或点击大多数Android智能手机上提供的(Android)所有应用程序(All apps)按钮，以访问所有应用程序(All Apps)屏幕。进入“所有应用程序(All Apps)”屏幕后，向下滚动直到进入“设置”(Settings)应用程序并点击(app and tap)它。它的图标看起来像一个齿轮。这将打开Android设置(Settings) 菜单。以下是它在运行Android 12的(Android 12)Pixel 4a上的外观：
从Android 12上的(Android 12)所有应用屏幕(All Apps screen)打开设置
在运行Android 11的(Android 11)三星 A51上，唯一的区别是，如果您在(Samsung A51)所有应用(All Apps)屏幕的第一页上找不到设置(Settings)应用，您需要向左滑动来浏览应用，而不是滚动。但是，在全新的三星 Galaxy(Samsung Galaxy)设备上，设置(Settings)应用程序位于第一页：
从Android 11上的(Android 11)所有应用屏幕(All Apps screen)打开设置
提示：(TIP:)如果您找不到“设置”(Settings)，您也可以在“所有应用(All Apps)”屏幕顶部显示的搜索字段中输入(search field)“设置”一词。("settings")这适用于 Android 11 和Android 12。
2.从其主屏幕(Home screen)快捷方式打开Android 设置(Android Settings)
如果您需要经常访问 Android设置(Settings)，您可以在智能手机的主屏幕(Home screen)上创建一个快捷方式。在Android 12上，向上滑动或点击“所有应用(All apps)”按钮，然后找到“设置”(Settings)应用。如果您点击并按住它，然后移动手指，您将看到主屏幕(Home screen)出现。您现在可以将其拖到空白处。将您的手指从屏幕上移开，将快捷方式放到您想要的任何位置。下次您需要打开Android 设置(Settings)菜单时，您可以通过点击主屏幕(Home screen)上的快捷方式来实现。

在三星 Galaxy(Samsung Galaxy)设备上，该过程非常相似：在这里，您还需要打开“所有应用(All apps)”屏幕，找到“设置”(Settings)图标，然后点击并按住(tap and hold)它。不同之处在于您无需移动手指即可显示主屏幕(Home screen)。只需将手指放在屏幕上即可。出现主屏幕(Home screen)后，将图标放在您想要的位置并抬起手指。

3.从收藏夹栏(Favorites bar)打开Android 设置(Android Settings)
在您的 Android 智能手机上，收藏夹(Favorites )栏位于主屏幕(Home screen)的底部。无论您在主屏幕(Home screen)的哪个页面上，此部分都会显示在屏幕上，并且您可以在其中放置多个图标。许多智能手机的收藏夹(Favorites )栏上已经有一个设置(Settings)快捷方式。例如，在搭载Android 12的(Android 12)Google Pixel 4a上，您可以直接从主屏幕(Home screen)点击图标：
从收藏夹栏中打开设置(Favorites bar)
在其他设备上，例如运行Android 11的(Android 11)三星 Galaxy A51(Samsung Galaxy A51)，设置(Settings)应用程序不在收藏夹(Favorites )栏中，但您可以在那里放置一个快捷方式。首先(First)，向上滑动或点击“所有应用(All apps)”按钮。然后，点击并按住设置(Settings)应用程序。按住它直到出现主屏幕(Home screen)，然后将其拖到空白处或收藏夹(Favorites )栏中的文件夹。
在收藏夹栏(Favorites bar)上添加设置的快捷方式

4.从快速设置(Quick Settings)中打开安卓设置(Android Settings)
您可以在“快速设置”(Quick Settings)菜单中找到“设置”(Settings)应用的快捷方式。要打开快速设置(Quick Settings)，请从屏幕顶部向下滑动。在某些设备上，您可以通过从主屏幕(Home screen)的任何部分向下滑动来获得相同的结果。在一些小米(Xiaomi)智能手机上，比如我们前段时间评测的小米11T(Xiaomi 11T)，默认情况下需要从屏幕右侧下拉才能访问控制中心(Control Center)（小米版的快捷设置(Quick Settings)）。
根据您的智能手机和您正在滑动的屏幕，从屏幕顶部向下滑动会打开“快速设置”(Quick Settings)的紧凑视图或展开视图。在某些智能手机上，紧凑视图会显示一个齿轮图标(cogwheel icon)，您可以使用该图标进入Android 设置(Settings)菜单。在运行Android 11的(Android 11)三星 Galaxy A51上，该图标位于“(Samsung Galaxy A51)快速设置”(Quick Settings)菜单的右上角：
访问快速设置菜单
如果在紧凑视图中找不到“设置”(Settings)图标，请再次向下滑动以访问展开的“快速设置”(Quick Settings)菜单。在 Pixel 4a 上，设置(Settings)图标仅显示在扩展菜单中。
展开(Expand)快速设置菜单并(Quick Settings menu and click)单击齿轮图标(cog icon)

5.用谷歌助手(Google Assistant)打开安卓设置(Android Settings)
如果您喜欢使用Google 助理，请首先通过说“ (Google Assistant)OK Google ”或点击主屏幕(Home screen)搜索(Search)栏中的麦克风图标(microphone icon)来确保它正在收听。然后，说“设置(settings)”以打开 Android设置(Settings)菜单。这是Pixel 4a(Pixel 4a)（左）和三星 A51(Samsung A51)（右）的外观。

我们经常在智能手机上访问 Android设置(Settings)菜单，因此我们决定使用收藏夹(Favorites)栏更快地访问它。但是，您可能更喜欢另一种打开它的快捷方式。在关闭此页面之前，请告诉我们您访问设置(Settings)的频率。你最会调整什么？您更喜欢上面说明的哪种方法？(Which)在下面的评论中告诉我们。
5 ways to get to the Android Settings menu -
The Settings are a vital part of your Android experience. They contain everything you need in order to set up and personalize your smartphone according to your preferences. While accessing the Android Settings can be quite intuitive, you might encounter some issues, especially on a new smartphone, with an unfamiliar version of Android. Read this tutorial to learn how to open the Android Settings menu:
NOTE: For this tutorial, we used a Google Pixel 4a with Android 12 and a Samsung Galaxy A51 using Android 11. The procedures are similar on all Android-powered devices, so you should be good to go even if you have a smartphone from Xiaomi, Huawei, Nokia, Asus, or some other manufacturer. If you do not know your Android version, here’s how to check the Android version on your smartphone or tablet.
1. Open the Android Settings from the All Apps screen
Even with the same Android version, the user interface is slightly different from one manufacturer to another. But no matter the layout, the one place you’ll always find the Settings in is the All Apps screen. On your Home screen, swipe up or tap on the All apps button, which is available on most Android smartphones, to access the All Apps screen. Once you're on the All Apps screen, scroll down until you get to the Settings app and tap on it. Its icon looks like a cogwheel. This opens the Android Settings menu. Here’s how it looks on the Pixel 4a running Android 12:
Open Settings from the All Apps screen on Android 12
On the Samsung A51 running Android 11, the only difference is that, if you can’t find the Settings app on the first page of the All Apps screen, instead of scrolling, you need to swipe left to browse through the apps. However, on brand-new Samsung Galaxy devices, the Settings app is on the first page:
Open Settings from the All Apps screen on Android 11
TIP: If you can't find the Settings, you can also type the word "settings" in the search field displayed at the top of the All Apps screen. This applies both to Android 11 and Android 12.
2. Open the Android Settings from its Home screen shortcut
If you need to access the Android Settings often, you can create a shortcut on your smartphone's Home screen. On Android 12, swipe up or tap on the All apps button, and find the Settings app. If you tap and hold on it, then move your finger, you will see the Home screen appear. You can now drag it to an empty space. Lift your finger off the screen to drop the shortcut anywhere you want it. Next time you need to open the Android Settings menu, you can do so by tapping the shortcut on the Home screen.

On Samsung Galaxy devices, the procedure is very similar: here, you also need to open the All apps screen, find the Settings icon, and tap and hold on it. The difference is that you don’t need to move your finger to make the Home screen appear. Just keep holding your finger on the screen. Once the Home screen appears, place the icon where you want it and lift your finger.

TIP: if you want to add and remove the icons on your Home screen, we have a simple tutorial for Android 12 and one for Samsung devices running Android 11.
3. Open the Android Settings from the Favorites bar
On your Android smartphone, the Favorites bar is the bottom section of the Home screen. This section stays on-screen no matter what page of the Home screen you’re on, and you can place several icons in it. Many smartphones already have a Settings shortcut on the Favorites bar. For example, on the Google Pixel 4a with Android 12, you can tap on the icon directly from the Home screen:
Open Settings from the Favorites bar
On other devices, like the Samsung Galaxy A51 running Android 11, the Settings app is not in the Favorites bar, but you can place a shortcut to it there. First, swipe up or tap on the All apps button. Then, tap and hold on the Settings app. Keep holding it until the Home screen appears, then drag it either to an empty spot or a folder in your Favorites bar.

4. Open the Android Settings from the Quick Settings
You can find a shortcut for the Settings app in the Quick Settings menu. To open the Quick Settings, swipe down from the top side of the screen. On some devices, you get the same result by swiping down from any part of the Home screen. On some Xiaomi smartphones, like the Xiaomi 11T that we reviewed a while ago, by default, you need to pull down from the right part of the screen to access the Control Center (Xiaomi’s version of the Quick Settings).
Depending on your smartphone and the screen you are swiping from, swiping down from the top of the screen opens either the compact or the expanded view of the Quick Settings. On some smartphones, the compact view displays a cogwheel icon that you can use to get to the Android Settings menu. On the Samsung Galaxy A51 running Android 11, the icon is in the upper-right corner of the Quick Settings menu:
Access the Quick Settings menu
If you cannot find the Settings icon in the compact view, swipe down again to access the expanded Quick Settings menu. On the Pixel 4a, the Settings icon is only displayed in the expanded menu.
Expand the Quick Settings menu and click on the cog icon

5. Open the Android Settings with the Google Assistant
If you like using the Google Assistant, first make sure it is listening by either saying "OK Google" or tapping on the microphone icon in the Search bar on your Home screen. Then, say "settings" to open the Android Settings menu. Here’s how it looks like on the Pixel 4a (left) and the Samsung A51 (right).

What’s the easiest way for you to open the Settings app?
We access the Android Settings menu pretty often on our smartphones, so we decided to use the Favorites bar to get to it quicker. However, you may prefer another shortcut for opening it.
