How to Move Icons on Android

Make Your Android Home Screen More Convenient by Rearranging Icons! I'll explain using a Galaxy (Android 14), but the basic operations are almost identical across devices.

How to Move Icons

1. Hold down the icon you want to move.
2. Drag it to anywhere on the screen.

3. Release your finger and you're done!

Creating Folders

You can create folders by dragging one app icon onto another using the same method:

1. Hold down the icon you want to move.
2. Drag it onto another app icon you want to group.

3. Enter the folder name and tap Done.
4. All done!

Hide Unnecessary Icons in the App Drawer

You can hide unnecessary icons from your home screen in the App Drawer (app list):

1. Hold down the app icon.
2. Tap “Remove”. ⚠️ Be careful not to tap "Delete" as this will delete the app completely.

3. The icon is now hidden!

Accessing Hidden Apps

1. Swipe up from the bottom of your home screen.
2. The App Drawer (app list) will appear, and you can launch apps from there. If you have many apps, I recommend using the search function at the top of the drawer!

Summary

Moving app icons on Android phones is very simple! Arrange them in order of convenience to create a more user-friendly home screen.
