How to Move Apps on Android?

Published in Android Apps 2 mins read

To move apps on Android, you can typically drag and drop them on your home screen or into folders.

Moving apps on your Android device is a simple process designed for easy customization of your home screen. Here's a breakdown of how to do it:

  1. Long Press: Tap and hold the app icon you want to move. After a second or two, the icon should become selectable.

  2. Drag and Drop: While still holding your finger on the screen, drag the app icon to the desired location on your home screen.

  3. Moving to a Different Home Screen: Drag the app icon to the edge of the screen. After a brief pause, the next home screen panel should appear, allowing you to place the app there.

  4. Creating Folders: Drag one app icon on top of another. Android will automatically create a folder containing both apps. You can then move additional apps into this folder using the drag-and-drop method. You can also rename the folder (e.g., "Social Media") for better organization.

  5. Moving Folders: Just like individual apps, you can move entire folders around your home screen by long-pressing and dragging them.

Tips for Organizing Apps:

  • Grouping: Organize apps based on function (e.g., social media, games, productivity).
  • Frequency of Use: Place frequently used apps on your primary home screen for quick access.
  • Folders: Utilize folders to declutter your home screen and keep related apps together.

By using these simple drag-and-drop techniques, you can easily customize your Android home screen for optimal efficiency and visual appeal.
