Put App Icons in Folders

For easy management of your app icons on the home screen, you can put similar apps in a folder and name the folder.

  1. Touch and hold an app icon and drag it over another icon. A folder will automatically be created to house these two apps.

    Your device will automatically name the folder based on the type of apps within it and will also suggest apps of the same type for you to add into the folder.

  2. Open a folder, touch its name, then enter a new name for it.

Add App Icons to a Folder or Remove Them

Open a folder and touch .Your device will suggest apps for you to add into the folder based on the type of apps that are already within the folder.

Then you can:

  • Select one or more apps, and touch OK to add them to the folder.

  • Deselect one or more apps, and touch OK to remove them from the folder. If you deselect all apps, the folder will be deleted.
