How to Add App Folders on Samsung Galaxy S6

There’s an app for that. And that. And that. All the apps we download onto our phones can quickly become a daunting and never-ending list that we might rather not navigate. Thankfully, Samsung has provided us some relief. Here’s how to add and customize app folders on your Samsung Galaxy S6:

On your home screen

  1. On any page of your home screen, make sure there are at least two of the apps you want in a folder together.
    • To add apps to your home screen, open the App Drawer, tap and hold the app you want, then drag to the home page you want.
  2. Drag and drop an icon onto another icon until a square highlight behind the icon appears.
  3. A folder is created containing the two apps. At this point you’re prompted to name the folder, and you can choose to either give it a name or leave it blank.
  4. You can customize the background color of the folder by tapping the Palette icon to the right of the folder name inside the folder.
  5. To add more apps to the folder, simply tap and hold then drag the app’s icon on top of the folder.

In your App Drawer

  1. Open the App Drawer and tap Edit at the top right.
  2. Drag one app icon onto another until you see a square highlight behind both, then drop. Customize the folder in the same way as home page folders.
  3. Tap outside the folder to close, then drag as many apps as you like into the folder.
  4. Once finished, tap Done at the top of the screen.
