I want a shortcut on my screen which cuts immediately to the Accounts subsection of settings.

Scroll right thru the widgets til you see SETTINGS. That is the one you click & hold to place on main screen (menu of settings appears)

The article provides no usable advice, unfortunately

pinching the screen brings up three options: “wallpapers and themes”, “widgets” and “screen grid”. no settings menu available. going into Widgets from here goes to standard widgets menu where settings are not available. Samsung S7

In regard to finding the missing settings ‘widget,’ you might find your answer in the link appended to this comment. Apparently you need to pinch the home screen page as if your going to delete it, then it’s located at the bottom of the page separately from widgets… I don’t own a Samsung myself so I cant verify.

When I go to “Apps” and drag “Settings” onto a home screen, that’s it, there is no menu, not long press or anything, it just opens the full settings app. I looked in the Widgets and there is no settings there, so what am I doing wrong?
