I need help removing the Play Last Song widget from my pull down tab on my Galaxy S25 Ultra, I kept misclicking it due to my shakes from my Lupus and it's really pissing me off.
 It's becoming an accessibility issue for me at this point as it makes it nearly impossible to cleanly check any notifications, let alone the date, or access anything else like the settings from the drop down tab. It takes me around 2-3 minutes to do so, I can't get rid of it and I hate it so much. 
Any help or advice would be nice, because the only reason I got this phone was because my last one was unrepairable to Samsung standards and cost the same price as the repair.
 If its going to only be a hassle to use this thing I'll have to look into other options, even if that's with a competitor brand or a massive downgrade, just for better accessibility.

There are two ways to check notifications on the quick panel (pull down feature). If it's setup that those buttons show, do this. Pull down the quick panel twice. Then on the top there will be pen icon. Click on that, then a "Panel settings" button will show on the top left. Open that and choose separate. This will set the quick panel to where swiping down on the top right side will bring down the full quick panel in one swipe. Or doing the same on the top left side will only bring down the notifications.

As far as clicking on settings, just use the setting icon on the home screen instead of the one in the quick panel as it is far larger to activate. I know this may not be what is wanted, but that is all I can think of for now.

Samsung needs to seriously allow the adjustment and even the ability to remove icons from the quick panel.

Thank you for the recommendations, it was already set to Separate which made it a major issue during my flare ups. It got to the point where I'd just leave my phone in the other room so I wouldn't have to struggle for it register the double swipe when I'm shaking.

But setting it to separate would solve the issue looking at notifications as I described before. Swiping down on left only brings down notifications. Leaving it together brings down notifications & a row of quick panel option as well as that play button with the first swipe, then the whole panel with second. This is what I see swiping down on the left side setup under separate and there are no buttons..
