How to Change the Galaxy Note 9 Navigation Bar
In this quick guide we’ll show you how to change the Galaxy Note 9 navigation bar colors and on-screen buttons. Whether that’s which side the back button is on, or something else. With no physical home button, all the controls are on the screen, and they’re easily customizable.
You can easily change the navigation bar button order, colors, and even the background color. In fact, you can even change the way the buttons look if you don’t like Samsung’s style. Plus, if this is your first Samsung phone the “Back” button is likely in the wrong place. We’ll show you how to change that too.

How to Change the Galaxy Note 9 Navigation Bar (Buttons & Colors)
- Pull down the notification bar and tap the gear-shaped Settings Button (or find Settings in the app tray)
- Select Display from the list

Once you get on this menu you’ll see a lot of different options. I’m using a stock Android theme, so my buttons changed and look like stock Android. You can do that too, reorder the buttons, or change the colors. Simply scroll through the list and learn what’s available. I also put my back button on the right side, as it’s easier for me.
Then, Samsung allows you to change the pressure level of the virtual home button, unlock your phone with the home button, and more. Go ahead and choose from the selections here, and customize the Galaxy Note 9 as you see fit.
