Your most used settings are now available on this section, so the more you use the Settings app, the new Home will recommend the settings you use the most.

1. Recommended Settings: your most common settings.
2. Bluetooth Devices: add, remove or connect to your wireless devices.
3. Personalization settings: color mode and wallpapers.
