Moving apps on your Vizio SmartCast TV allows you to rearrange the icons in the app row to prioritize your most frequently used streaming services and apps. This process involves entering a customization mode to adjust the order of the apps shown.

Customizing Your Vizio App Row

Vizio's SmartCast platform provides a dedicated feature to manage the order of apps directly from your home screen. This helps you quickly access your preferred entertainment options without scrolling through a long list.

How to Move Apps on Vizio SmartCast TVs

Rearranging apps on your Vizio TV is a straightforward process focused on customizing the main app row. Here are the general steps:

  1. Navigate to the App Row: From the Vizio SmartCast home screen, scroll down to the row of apps.
  2. Enter Customization Mode: Using your Vizio remote, highlight the app you wish to move. Press and hold the OK (or Select) button on your remote. After a few seconds, an option to "Move" or the app icon might change slightly to indicate it's ready to be moved.
  3. Select the App: Once in move mode, use the directional arrows on your remote to select the specific app you want to relocate.
  4. Move the App: With the app selected for moving, use the left and right directional arrows on your remote to drag the app icon to its desired position within the app row.
  5. Confirm New Position: Press the OK (or Select) button again to drop the app in its new location.
  6. Repeat (Optional): You can repeat steps 3-5 for any other apps you wish to move.
  7. Exit Customization: Once you have finished rearranging your apps, you need to exit the customization mode. To do this, simply click the exit Button.

By following these steps, you can easily organize your app row to keep your favorite streaming services front and center.

Tips for Organizing Apps

  • Prioritize Frequent Use: Place the apps you use most often at the beginning of the row for quickest access.
  • Group Similar Apps: Consider putting related apps (e.g., movie/TV apps) together.
  • Trial and Error: Don't be afraid to experiment with different arrangements until you find what works best for you.

Organizing your app row is a simple way to personalize your Vizio SmartCast experience and make accessing your entertainment easier.
