How to use app folders on Galaxy S10 Home screen and Apps screen?

simon · 2 Comments

delete an app folder from the Apps screenYou can use app folders on Galaxy S10 Home screen and Apps screen to organize apps and reduce the number of panels (pages).

Although it is not a new feature, many Galaxy S10 owners may be confused about the differences when managing app folders on the Home screen and Apps screen.

This Galaxy S10 how-to guide explains why you need app folders, the limitation of the app folders, how to create, use, and manage app folders on both Galaxy S10 Home screen and Apps screen.

If your Galaxy S10 has been updated to Android 12, you may check this updated guide on how to use app folders on Galaxy phones with Android 12 (One UI 4).

What are app folders on Galaxy S10? Why do you need them?

App folders are simply a folder of app icons.  On Galaxy S10 Home screen and Apps screen, each app folder occupies one slot  (grid point), like one app icon.

So, using app folders can help you:

  • Save screen space. You do not want to scroll 20 home screen panels to find an app.
  • Organize apps. You can organize similar apps or apps from one developer into one app folder so that you can locate them very quickly.

In fact, when you unboxed your Galaxy S10, you already found the Samsung folder and the Google folder in Galaxy S10 Apps screen.

Please note, although Galaxy S10 lock screen has two spots (bottom left and right) for two apps, you cannot use app folders there.

Galaxy S10 Edge screen supports app pair, and app folders (which are created in the Edge screen) on the Apps edge.

What are the limitations of app folders?

There are a few limitations when you use app folders on Galaxy S10, including

  • Galaxy S10 does not support nested app folders.  You are not allowed to put an app folder under another app folder.
  • You cannot customize the screen grid for the app folders.  In Galaxy S10 Home screen settings, you can customize the screen grid from 4×5 to 4×6 to 5×5 or to 5×6. But the layout of app icons inside the app folder is always 4×4. If you put more than 16 apps in one app folder, a new panel inside the folder will be added automatically.
  • On Galaxy S10 App screen, one app icon can appear only in one app folder.  All app icons on the Apps screen can only be shown once. When you put an app into an app folder in the Apps screen, this app icon will only appear in the app folder. You cannot find it elsewhere on the Apps screen. Please note, Galaxy S10 Home screen does not have this limitation. In other words, one app icon can appear multiple times, including multiple app folders on the Home screen.
  • You can only use app folders on Galaxy S10 Home screen and Apps screen. You cannot use them on the

How to use Galaxy S10 edge screen?

simon · Leave a Comment

Samsung Galaxy S10 edge screen allows you to access some features and apps quickly from the curved the display without navigating to the home screen or apps screen.

Since the inception of the curved-screen in Galaxy Note Edge, Samsung tried hard to develop some killing features for the curved screen.

This Galaxy S10 how-to guide explains everything you need to know about Galaxy S10 edge screen.: what is edge screen, how to access and use edge screen, edge lighting, edge panels, and Apps edge.

What is Galaxy S10 edge screen?

Samsung introduced the edge screen feature since Galaxy Note Edge (Note 4 Edge). But edge screen on Galaxy Note Edge is a separate display area to the right side of the main screen.

Since Galaxy S6 Edge, edge screen has been no longer a separate part. It refers to a part of the main screen linked to the curved edges of the display.

So, Galaxy S10 edge screen is not a separate screen. Instead, it is just part of the display close to the curved edges on both sides of Galaxy S10, S10+ and S10 5G as illustrated in Galaxy S10 layout.

Because Samsung started to reduce the curved part of the screen from Galaxy S8, many new Galaxy S8, S9, Note 8, Note 9 and S10 owners may even not realized the curved edges and the special features associated with them.

Galaxy S10 edge screen includes two fundamental features:

  1. Edge lighting. You can use edge lighting the light up the edges of the screen when notifications arrive.
  2. Edge panels. You can put frequently used apps and some special tools in the panels so that you can access them quickly.

If you disable both edge lighting and edge panels, Galaxy S10 edge screen will be disabled automatically. This is the only way to disable Galaxy S10 edge screen features.

Galaxy S10 edge screen works on all screens (except AOD)and apps when in portrait mode. You can use it on the home screen, lock screen, apps screen, and when using any apps.

When you use edge screen on the lock screen, some features will not work until the phone is unlocked. This is a security feature, not a bug.

If your home screen or lock screen is in landscape mode, or you are using an app in landscape mode, edge panel handle will disappear automatically. In other words, Galaxy S10 edge screen does NOT work in landscape mode.

How to access the edge screen?

You can access the Galaxy S10 edge screen by dragging the edge panel handle to the center of the screen, as shown below.

The edge panel handle appears on the right side by default. You can customize it so that it can appear on either left or right sides. You can also choose a color for it (read on).

The touchscreen gesture is dragging. But the swipe gesture works as well.

How to use Galaxy S10 Multi Window?

simon · 2 Comments

use Galaxy S10 Multi WindowGalaxy S10 Multi Window allows you to run two apps side-by-side (split-screen view) or to overlap multiple apps over each other and other apps (pop-up view) to improve your productivity on Galaxy s10, S10e, S10+, and S10 5G.

Samsung changed and removed some multi-window features on Galaxy S10 with the updated Recents screen.  Besides, Galaxy S10 Multi Window is significantly from that in the stock Android.

This Galaxy S10 how-to guide explains everything you need to know about Galaxy S10 Multi Window: what is it, the difference between the split-screen view and pop-up view, how to use the split-screen and pop-up views of Galaxy S10 Multi Window.

What is Galaxy S10 Multi Window?

By default, only one Android app can occupy the screen at any time, although Android is based on Linux, which of course supports multitasking on the desktop.

Google first introduced the multi-window (split-screen view) feature in Android Nougat.

But for Samsung Galaxy phones users, Multi Window had been introduced since Galaxy Note II in 2013.

And Samsung continued to polish this feature in each iteration of the Galaxy devices.

Galaxy S10 Multi Window allows you:

  • To run two apps side by side (split-screen view).
  • To let one or more apps floating over other apps and any screens (pop-up view).  The size of the app window can be adjusted and even minimized. The stock Android does not support this even in the latest Android Pie.

Of course, you can use the split-screen view and pop-up view simultaneously.

What are the Multi Window features removed in Galaxy S10?

Unfortunately, Samsung removed some very useful features from Galaxy S10 Multi Window including:

  • Converting a normal app window to the pop-up view mode with a gesture. The diagonally swiping gesture is not supported on Galaxy S10. You cannot find the settings in Galaxy S10 settings anymore.
  • Directly converting split-screen view to pop-up view.  When two apps are in the split-screen view mode, the only multi-window tool in Galaxy S10 is to resize the window. All other tools and options  (e.g., app pair creation, Snap Window, swap apps) are removed in Galaxy S10 Multi Window.
  • Snap Window.
  • Multi Window (split-screen) icon was removed in the thumbnails in the Recents screen. You have to long tap the app icon in the Recents screen to use Galaxy S10 Multi Window feature.

Please note, these features were also removed in the Android Pie update for Galaxy S9 and S8.

If you still need these features, you need to install Samsung’s Good Lock app.

What are the differences between the split-screen view and pop-up view?

If you migrated to Galaxy S10 from other Android phones, you probably tried the split-screen view in the stock Android.

The most powerful feature of Galaxy S10 Multi Window is the pop-up view.

Basically, the split-screen mode allows you to run two apps side-by-side (in the long side). You can adjust the percentage of the screen for each app. … Read the rest
