If you’re an avid user of Samsung phones and want to customize your home screen for quick access to frequently used apps, you’ll find this article from FPT Shop helpful. We’ll guide you through the process of adding apps to your Samsung home screen, making your device more efficient for both work and play.

How to Add Apps to the Samsung Home Screen

Using the “Add to Home” Function

Samsung, Oppo, Vivo, and other Android phones have two types of screens: the home screen and the home screen. The home screen displays all the apps on your phone, while the home screen (or home screen) allows you to customize the apps you use most frequently – this screen appears whenever you unlock your phone.

Here’s how to add an app to your Samsung home screen using the “Add to Home” function:

Step 1: Go to the home screen > Find the app you want to move to the home screen.

Step 2: Press and hold the app icon for about 2 seconds until an app adjustment frame appears. Then tap on Add to Home.

Step 3: Once you complete step 2, your app will be added to the home screen in a random location. You can then drag and drop the app icon to the desired location.

Using Drag-and-Drop

In addition to using the Add to Home function, you can also add apps to the home screen by pressing and holding the app icon and dragging it to the top of the home screen until the Drag to add to home screen message appears.

On some newer Samsung models, you can simply press and hold the app icon and drag it to the top of the screen to immediately move it to the home screen.

Note: Adding an app to the Samsung home screen will not remove the app icon from the main screen.
