Easy enough drag it to the “Remove” spot: I’m going to get rid of this particular app, however, by “ Remove“-ing it. Want to move it to another screen entirely? Drag it to an edge: You can just barely see the Spotify icon on the left edge, for example. If there’s an open space, a box shows up (you can see one where it moved from) and if you move an app icon between icons, they’ll move around to make space for it.
The icon itself is now floating too, as I move it around on the screen. Notice the “ Remove” on the top left, and the “ Uninstall” on the top right. Rather surprisingly,īut with the long-tap, if I move my finger even just a tiny bit, the screen changes quite a bit: To start out, tap and hold on a few app icons. Let’s have a look, shall we? APP SHORTCUTS ON YOUR ANDROID SCREEN What’s the difference? “delete” removes it from the screen though it’s still in all-apps view, while “uninstall” actually removes the app from your phone or tablet.
Once you start moving the app icon, things show up on the screen that allow you to move the icon to a new location, delete the app, or even uninstall the app. That long-tap-and-move, however, that’s where it’s all at. long-tap and some apps have a shortcut menu that pops up with handy ways to go straight to a specific action without having to launch the app. The first, a tap, is what you’re used to and how you launch an app so you can play the game, check the sports scores, text someone, etc. Not to sound like it’s related to Harry Potter, but once you know the secret to arranging and rearranging apps on your Android device, it is actually pretty easy! The key realization is that there are three gestures: tap, long-tap, and long-tap-and-move, and each yields a different result.
