Android 9: Set home screen - how to do it

The home screen on an Android smartphone is equivalent to the desktop of a PC. Here you can place your app shortcuts and set up different shortcuts. With a well-structured homescreen, you'll have the ability to access all your apps quickly and without hassle.

How to set the home screen on Android 9?

1. On older devices, simply press the menu button to the left of the home button and tap Add Apps & Widgets. On newer devices, tap on the background and hold your finger there until the menu appears.
2. If you want to move an app, tap it and hold your finger on it. Through a small animation you will see that the app has been highlighted. Now you can move it anywhere on your home screen.
3. For links to files or other files, proceed in the same way.
4. You can also add new items via the menu.
5. If you want to place a shortcut or an app on another page, simply slide it to the right or left edge. Die Seite wechselt dann automatisch.
6. Sie können Apps auch in Ordner verschieben. Dazu legen Sie einfach einen Ordner auf dem Homescreen an oder verlinken zu einem und verschieben die App in diesen.
