Organize your apps.

The quickest way to bring order to your phone’s screens is to alphabetize the apps or gather them by purpose: all messaging and email apps on one screen, sports apps on the next screen.

  • Open your Android’s Apps menu. The Apps icon usually looks like multiple dots arranged in a square.
  • Tap the ⋮ icon.
  • Tap Edit on the drop-down menu.
  • Tap and hold an app on the Apps menu.
  • Drag the app icon onto another app.
  • Tap and drag more apps into your new folder.

How do I rearrange my apps?

Tap on an app and hold your finger on it until the icons start shaking. When the app icons are shaking, just drag and drop the app icon to a new location. You can rearrange them in whatever order you want (icons have to swap places on the screen; they can’t have empty space between them.)
