How Do I Add To Home Screen?

Published in Mobile Devices 2 mins read

To add an app shortcut to your home screen, follow these steps:

  1. Touch and hold the app icon. This is the first step in initiating the process.
  2. Lift your finger. After a short press, release to reveal options. If the app offers shortcuts (quick actions), a list will appear.
  3. Touch and hold the desired shortcut (if applicable) or the app icon itself. This step ensures you're ready to move the selected item.
  4. Slide the shortcut (or app icon) to your desired location on the home screen. Drag it to the empty space where you want it to appear.
  5. Lift your finger to release and place the shortcut. This finalizes the action and adds the shortcut to your home screen.

In summary, the core action is to long-press the app icon, then drag and drop it onto your home screen. If the app offers shortcuts (like quickly composing an email or starting a new note), you'll see those options appear when you long-press; then you can choose to drag one of those shortcuts instead.
