Put what you use on the first screen
Move the apps you actually use to where your thumb lands, and clear away the ones you never asked for.
The order your apps are in was decided by a factory. Nothing about it is fixed, and rearranging it does not remove or change any of them.
Key points
- Hold an app down to get the menu that lets you move things
- Move an app to the first page, where you will actually find it
- Swap what sits in the bottom row, which follows you across every page
- Remove an app from the home screen without deleting it
What to remember
- Hold an app, choose Edit Home Screen, and everything becomes movable.
- Removing tidies. Deleting removes. The phone always asks which you meant.
- The bottom row follows you across every page, so it is the most valuable space on the phone.
Try this
Look at the four apps in the bottom row of your own phone. If one of them is something you have never opened, that is the most valuable space on your phone being wasted.
