What is “home” of Galaxy S7 home screen panels?

When we talk about Galaxy S7 home screen, actually, we are referring to more than one home screen pages. These pages are usually referred as Galaxy home screen panels.

Among Galaxy home screen panels, one of them is defined as “home” of these home screen panels.

If you tap home button (no matter what you are doing, what apps are running) several times, you should be always redirected to the home of Galaxy S7 home screen panels.

Please note, one, and only one, home screen panel can be defined as “home” of Galaxy S7 home screen.

And there is always one panel is defined as the home of Galaxy S7 home screen panels, even if you do not assign any of them.

By default, in Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, the panel next to Flipboard briefing is the home panel of Galaxy S7 home screen.

How to assign home panel of  Galaxy S7 home screen panels?

To assign or to change the home panel for Galaxy S7 home screen panels, you can follow these steps.

Step 1: Enter Galaxy S7 home screen edit mode

You can enter Galaxy S7 home screen edit mode (aka, access home screen options) in two ways:

  • Pinch (to zoom in)in any home screen panels.
  • Tap and hold (long tap) on any empty area in any home screen panels.

In edit mode, as mentioned in other guides, you can use Galaxy S7 themes, wallpapers or screen grid to customize Galaxy S7 home screen, or to add widgets to home screen.

Step 2: Navigate to the specific panel

In edit mode, you can navigate to different Galaxy S7 home screen panels with two different methods:

  • Tap the screen indicator.
  • Swipe (flick) right or left. Please note, Galaxy S7 home screen does not support cycling through panels, i.e.,  you cannot navigate from the leftmost panel to rightmost one. This is true in edit mode as well.

Step 3: Assign home panel for Galaxy S7 home screens

Once you find the desired panel to be the home of Galaxy S7 home screen panels, tap the Home icon (house) as shown above to set this panel as the home.

You can notice the Home indicator now moved to this panel as shown below.

Now, whenever you tap Home button, you will be redirected to this panel.

How to add more Galaxy S7 home screen panels?

Galaxy S7 and S7 edge allows you to add many panels (pages) in the home screen.

You can add more Galaxy S7 home screen panels in Galaxy S7 home screen edit mode.

In Galaxy S7 home screen edit mode, the rightmost panel always have a big “+” sign as shown below.

Tap this plus sign to add a new panel to Galaxy S7 home screen as shown below.

Once the new panel is added, you can continue to add more Galaxy S7 home screen panels using the same method because the “+” sign moves to next panel automatically.

You can also navigate to this panel using the screen indicator.

Although, Galaxy S7 and S7 edge allow you to add many Galaxy S7  home screen panels, you may consider to use app folders to improve productivity.

How to re-arrange and remove Galaxy S7 home screen panels?

You can also rearrange and remove home screen panels in Galaxy S7 and S7 edge in edit mode.

In Galaxy S7 home screen edit mode, tap and hold (long tap) any Galaxy S7 home screen panels to move it right or left to a desired location.

Once the panel is in desired location, you can then release your finger from the screen and  the panel will be moved to this location.

If you want to remove a panel, tap and hold it, then move it up to the Remove button as shown below to remove it.

Please note, app shortcuts and widgets in the panel will be removed together with the panel. This only affects the copy of apps and widgets in this specific panel. The same app and widget in other panels will not be affected.

    So my pet peeve with this s7 is that I like to set up ONE full, app filled, locked home screen and not have any additional panels, which is basically how the apple is, now my s5 did this for 3 years without a problem. When I do this with the s7 it produces a secondary blank panel constantly when I make calls, or restart the phone. its literally driving me so nuts I want to return the phone. I don’t need a second panel so please stop producing one. I delete the blank panel, and it comes right back, if anyone has any insight on how to keep this from producing its own extra pages it would be greatly appreciated

      Is the new panel actually empty except the tray? I don’t think S7 has such an issue.
