Step 1: Sorting Apps
The first step to organizing apps is sorting them into categories. For example, you may want to group communication apps like WhatsApp and Messenger, social media apps like Facebook and Instagram, or entertainment apps like Netflix and Spotify. You can sort your apps by drag and dropping them into folders on your home screen.
To create a new folder, tap and hold an app until it starts to wiggle. Drag the app over another app that you want to put in the same folder, and release it. This will create a new folder with both apps inside. You can add additional apps to this folder by dragging them into the folder.
Step 2: Arranging Apps
After you have sorted your apps into categories, the next step is arranging them in a way that suits your preference. You can move apps around by tapping and holding the app icon until it starts to wiggle, then drag it to the desired location. You can also use the grid layout feature to align your apps.
To the grid layout, tap and hold on an empty area of your home screen. This will open the customization options menu. From here, select “Home Screen Settings,” then select “Grid” and choose the number of rows and columns you would like.
Once you have selected the grid layout, you can move your apps around to align them with the grid lines. This will give your home screen a clean and organized look.
Step 3: Removing Unused Apps
To further declutter your phone and make it easier to navigate, it’s important to any unused apps. Unused apps take up storage space and can slow down your device, so it’s best to remove them to free up space.
To remove an app, tap and hold the app icon until it starts to wiggle. Then, tap the “X” on the top left corner of the app icon. You will be prompted to confirm if you want to uninstall the app. Tap “OK” to proceed.
Alternatively, you can go to Settings > Apps to view a list of all the apps installed on your device. From here, tap on an app you want to uninstall and then tap “Uninstall”. Again, you will be prompted to confirm if you want to uninstall the app. Tap “OK” to proceed.
Step 4: Using App Folders
Another way to organize your apps is to use app folders. App folders are a useful way to group your apps in a single location. You can put multiple apps inside an app folder and name the folder whatever you like.
To create an app folder, tap and hold an app until it starts to wiggle. Then, drag it over another app that you would like to add to the app folder. This will create a new app folder with both apps inside. You can rename the app folder by tapping on the folder name and typing in a new name.
Step 5: Using App Drawer
Finally, you can use the App Drawer to help organize your apps. The App Drawer is a section of your phone that contains all the apps installed on your device. You can access the App Drawer by swiping up from the bottom of your home screen.
Once you have accessed the App Drawer, you can sort your apps by category using Samsung’s Smart Categories feature. To access this feature, tap the three-dot menu icon in the top right corner and select “Sort.”
From here, you can choose to sort your apps by name, install date or usage time. You can also use the “Smart Categories” option to sort your apps into categories.

By sorting your apps into categories, arranging them in a way that suits your preferences, and removing unused apps, you can make it easier to navigate through your phone and improve your overall phone experience.
