If you've bought the new Samsung Galaxy S8 and you find yourself not adjusting well to the new order of the navigation buttons, you're not alone. The usual order from previous Samsung phones was Recents - Home - Back, and now it's the other way around. Luckily, changing the order of the software buttons is simple.
 

Here's how to change the order of the Galaxy S8 buttons:

• Go to Settings -> Display, then scroll down to Navigation bar.
• Here, you'll tap the Button layout section to see your options.
• There are two configurations to choose from: Back - Home - Recents and Recents - Home - Back.
• Just tap the configuration you prefer.
