What is Samsung Galaxy S6 Apps screen?

Samsung Galaxy S6 Apps screen is sometimes referred as app drawer, or app tray or app list. All of the apps, including pre-installed apps, and apps installed by the user, are all displayed in Samsung Galaxy S6 Apps page as icons.

When an app is uninstalled or disabled, it will disappear from the Galaxy S6 Apps screen.

Please note, app icons in Samsung Galaxy Apps page is different from those in Galaxy S6 home screen. The app icons in Galaxy S6 home screen are actually shortcuts to app icons in Galaxy S6 Apps screen.

When you remove an app from home screen, only the shortcut is removed. The corresponding app icon in Samsung Galaxy S6 Apps screen will not be affected.

But when you uninstall/disable apps from Galaxy S6, the corresponding app icons in both Galaxy S6 home screen and Apps screen are removed automatically.

Samsung Galaxy S6 edge has an identical apps screen, so this guide applies to Samsung Galaxy S6 edge as well, although, in the page, only Galaxy S6 is used.

How to access Samsung Galaxy S6 Apps screen?

To access Samsung Galaxy S6 Apps screen, you can tap the Apps icon (16 white dots in 4×4) in the favorite apps area in Galaxy S6 home screen.

You can customize favorite apps in Galaxy S6 home screen as shown in this page, but you cannot remove the the Apps icon.

Once in Samsung Galaxy S6 Apps screen, you can switch to other panels by swiping to the left or right (see this page on Galaxy S6 touchscreen gestures), or selecting a screen indicator at the bottom of the screen.

If you are a long-term Galaxy device user, you will notice one missing feature of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Apps screen: you cannot cycle through panels when you reach the first or last panel. Samsung purposely disabled this for no reasons. Same happened to Galaxy S6 home screen panels.

There is no empty panel of  Samsung Galaxy S6 Apps screen. If there is no apps on a panel, the panel will not be displayed.

But empty spots are allowed in all (not just the last) panels. In other words, it is not necessary to fill all spots in a Galaxy S6 Apps screen panel .

How to move apps in Samsung Galaxy S6 Apps screen?

By default, the apps in Samsung Galaxy S6 Apps screen are sorted based on time of installation. Newly-installed apps appear in the last spots.

You can organize the app icons in your own way by manually moving them to desired spot in the Samsung Galaxy S6 Apps screen.

On the Samsung Galaxy S6 Apps screen, tap EDIT near the top right, then tap and hold an item and drag it to a new location.

If you want to move an app to another panel, drag it to the side of the screen panel.

How to create app folders in Samsung Galaxy S6 Apps screen?

If you have many apps installed in your Galaxy S6, you may want to create app folders to organize them in Samsung Galaxy S6 Apps screen.

To create folders in Samsung Galaxy S6 Apps screen, you may follow these steps.

Step 1: enter Samsung Galaxy S6 Apps screen

On home screen, you can tap the Apps icon in favorite app tray to enter Galaxy S6 Apps screen.

If you are using other apps, press home button to return to  home screen.

Step 2:  On Samsung Galaxy Apps screen, tap EDIT.

You can find the EDIT button near top right in the Apps screen.

Tap EDIT to enter editing mode of  Samsung Galaxy Apps screen.

Step 3:  Tap and hold an app, and then drag it over another app.

Unlike that in Galaxy S5 or Galaxy Note 4, you cannot create folders directly in Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 edge.

You need drag an app and drop it to another one in editing mode of Samsung Galaxy Apps screen, as shown below. This will then create a folder automatically.

Samsung_Galaxy_S6_Apps_screen_1_app_folder Samsung_Galaxy_S6_Apps_screen_2_app_folder_created

Step 4:  Drop the app when a folder frame appears around the target app.

When you drag the app over the target app, a folder frame appears as shown above.

Now drop the app (by releasing your finger)  to create a folder containing the two apps in Samsung Galaxy Apps screen.

Step 5: Name and customize the app folder

You can tap Enter folder name to name this app folder.

You can change the app folder color by tapping the color palette.

To add more apps to the app folder, tap and hold another app, and then drag it to the folder.

Can you use Samsung  Galaxy S6 Apps screen now? Can you create folders in Samsung Galaxy S6 Apps screen?

      No, there are no sorting options in App screen now. You have to manually sort apps (by default, the apps are sorted based on installation date).

        on my S4 I’m able to change the settings so that the app “pages” spin around. so If I wanted to go to the first page from the third (last) page I could just flick right to get there. Now on the S6 I need to go back through the other page to get there. I hope that makes sense. Not sure how else to word it. Is there a way to change that setting? I’ve looked for days non stop and it’s frustratingly annoying.

          This is “new” feature in Galaxy S6 (the new TouchWiz).

          Yes, it is annoying. Samsung just removed the feature to cycle through pages in both Apps screen and home screen.

          Probably, Samsung will add it in the future because this is a very useful feature in old TouchWiz.

    It’s a backward step to no longer allow sorting options in the Apps screen. They could have added A SORT option next to thhe EDIT option (or similar) in my view.

      I agree. Samsung is trying to trim the features of bloated TouchWiz. But it seems many nice features were removed as well unfortunately. App sorting option is welcomed if one has a few pages of apps/folders.

    Not having alphabetical sorting and the option to hide apps on my S6 Edge is terrible. I’ve owed an S2,S3 & S4 and this is pants. Ok software update may bring this back later I hope.

    Has anyone tried moving 100 apps around an S6 Edge app folder! Its so painful. The edge screen makes it so hit and miss to move an app between pages.

    Seriously thinking of sticking with my S4. Beautiful phone (S6 Edge) needs software changes fast. Perhaps a new launcher?

      Yes, a lot of long term Samsung users will miss these features. I guess Samsung will gradually add more features to TouchWiz.

    I am very disappointed about the loss of some of the features I had on my S4. Bought the S6 Edge on launch day, for me the edge screen added no value and I didn’t like it, so I traded it for the regular S6. I have 5 home screens and 7 screens in the app drawer. On all other Galaxy phones, including the Note Edge and the S5 all you have to do to jump from one screen to another was to hit the tiny little white indicator at the bottom. On my S6 all that does now is move to the next screen (same as swiping). Is there a way to directly jump from say, the 1st screen on the left to the last screen on the right with one push? If not, Samsung needs to figure out a way for us to add the missing features we love! Thanks

      The cycling through pages feature in app screen and home screen is formally removed from TouchWiz in galaxy s6. Samsung apparently made a wrong decision on this.

    I’m going to leave this here for anyone that may encounter this problem.

    Problem:

    I’ve had my s6 edge for about 2 or 3 weeks and recently I’ve noticed this problem after I organized all my apps into folders. Sometimes an app will dissappear for no reason like its been deleted from the device but, when going into the app store and searching for the missing app, realize it’s still installed on the device. The only way to reach the app after this disappearance is to open the app store and open the app through there.

    To fix the problem:

    Restart device. It should return to your app screen; if you had it in a folder or a shortcut for it on the home/main screen you will have to reorganize it back into the folder it was in as well as create a new short cut for it.

        So i just got a new galaxy s6 today and all of my apps were not showing in my phone. They were showing in the application manager and in the play store as downloaded. This was driving me nuts!!!!!! After unstalling and restarting several times and nothing worked. I looked in my apps one more time and I saw what looked like an app called social. BOOM there was instagram. Then i saw another one called google and BOOM there was gmail. So apprarently the S6 is hiding some apps in these little folders. Very tricky I must say. looks like lots of people are having this issue because I searched the internet for the solution and no one had it.

      Is there any way to lock the home screen so you can’t move apps around?

      I lose apps all the time, but I think it’s because I delete them from the home screen without realizing it.

      It gets really annoying trying to figure out which app is missing so I can add it back.

        Did you have a screen lock? You can set it to swipe, instead of none. Actually, it is not so easy to remove apps accidentally from home screen

        Your problems are different from others’. Their problem is due to some firmware bugs (apps or folders disappear after rebooting).

          I do use a screen lock. But every once in a while, I unlock the screen and an app is missing. Its still installed, still listed in the apps menu, still everywhere it should be, EXCEPT on the home screen where I put it. This happens with bookmarked websites I save to the home screen too.

      Are there any existing folders in the app screen?

      When you move an app over another app, before releasing your finger from the screen, do you see any changes of the target app icon?

    creating folder in the apps works fine for me, but the missing “sort my apps” option is really not nice. PLus, from tiem to time, apps dissapear and I have to start them trhough the apps shop, restarting the phone didn´t work for me unfortunateley.

    HI, i am trying to hide an app that was installed from the market place. In the past, you were able to do the following:
    1. Open the App drawer.
    2.Tap on the Menu.
    3.Select Hide applications option.
    4.Here you can choose the apps or games that you want to hide by tapping on the little black box in the upper right of each app.
    5. Click the Done button to save your changes.

    However, you can’t do this in the newer version of S6. Can you please explain how you can do the hide.

    how do i now return the app from the folder back to the main app page?

          Nope. In fact, I chatted with Verizon last night and the rep was able to repeat the failure. The only fix was to uninstall and reinstall the app to get it to show in the app drawer.

          So, if you sort your apps into folders within the app drawer and for whatever reason boot into safe mode and then back into regular mode your folders may disappear and the apps not sorted AND/OR you may lose the ability to see the apps altogether. Verizon rep told me they had no “fix” and to call Samsung help.

    I can’t see Skype in apps list even though it’s clearly pre-installed by Samsung

    If I go into the Application Manager, Skype appears to be pre-installed. However it doesn’t appear on my actual apps screen.

    I can’t uninstall and reinstall it – presumably because it came pre-installed.

    The only time I’ve managed to open it is when I went to the Play store in an attempt to download it. Because it’s already installed, instead of offering me the option of installing it, it offered me the option of opening it which I did.

    How on earth do I get the Skype app to actually show up on my phone?

          Anyway, can you find the invisible apps in Settings-Application–Application manager? Also did you install any task manager/storage cleaner apps?\

The apps are installed, but the only way to access them is to find them in the play store and open that way. However, upon clearing my cache and some of the default applications, they showed up. For example, when using “TouchWiz home”, they don’t show up. But, when I switched the default to “TouchWiz home easy”, they do show up. How can I fix it to where they all show up in normal mode??

          It is very rare that apps disappear from apps screen. Does it affect some pre-installed folders, e.g., Google and tools?

          anyway, if I were you, I would backup the phone and try a factory reset. Of course, you can try to clear cache and clear settings in Settings– Applications –Application manager –All –Settings (NOT settings storage) to see whether it helps.

          Another trick you can try is to install another launcher,e.g., Google Now launcher. After switching launcher, the app list usually will be rebuilt.

    I arranged my apps in a custom way, but then without noticing I pressed the A-Z and now they are arranged alphabetically. Is there any way I can go back to my previous order? I tried doing it manually, but I don’t remember the exact same order, so then i’m stuck looking for an app for 5 minutes.

      Unfortunately, there is no undo option. You cannot go back. The new TouchWiz is a bit stupid.

    Hello, I’m trying to open the Smart Manager App on my S6, but there is not an icon on the apps pages. I can see the app when I go to Applications Manager (all), but I can’t ‘open’ the app. I’m sure it’s user error. Can anyone help?

      You don’t need the app. Just forget it.

      You can move any apps to an app folder.

      If you don’t need the app, you can uninstall it or deactivate it.

      If you tap and hold an app, move and drop it to another app, what do you get?

      Please tell us in detail the errors you get.

      Not sure. Actually Galaxy S6 and S7 do NOT allow you to hide apps in Apps screen.

      Are you using the default launcher or third-party launcher?
