Creating folders for apps on your Google Pixel home screen is a simple way to organize your phone and make your favorite applications easier to find.
To create a folder for apps on a Google Pixel, you typically just need to drag one app icon on top of another.
Here are the steps, based on the process shown for the Google Pixel 9:
- Locate the apps: Go to the home screen where the apps you want to folder are located.
- Select an app: Click and hold one of the app icons you wish to include in the folder.
- Drag and drop: While still holding the first app icon, drag it directly above another app icon you want to be in the same folder.
- Folder created: As soon as you lift your finger, a new folder will automatically be created containing both apps.
- Add more apps: To add more apps to this new folder, simply drag their icons onto the folder icon.
- Name the folder: Tap on the folder to open it, then tap on the suggested folder name or the blank space where the name appears to rename it. You can choose a name that describes the category of apps inside (e.g., "Social Media," "Utilities," "Games").
| Step | Action |

| 1. Initiate | Click and hold one app icon. |
