How to create folders on the Android home screen

On your home screen, you have the most important apps directly in view. If you have too many, it quickly becomes confusing. The solution: You can create folders on the Android home screen.

• Tap and hold an icon for a few seconds until you can move it.

• You can then use drag gestures to move other apps into the folder.

• Press the folder to open it. A selection of all the apps you have grouped in it will appear.
