How do I create copies of app icons to have in multiple folders or multiple screens?

[AC Question]

I have app icons which I would like in multiple screens and/or multiple folders. How can I copy app icons?

Welcome to the forums. What device do you have? In most phones you can duplicate shortcuts icons very easily. Open the app drawer, search for the app you want a shortcut, long press on it and drag it to you home screen. You can repeat this process as many times as you want.

If your stock launcher doesn't include an app drawer you need to use a custom launcher, such as Nova, to do this.

Moving one app icon on top of another app icon normally makes a folder with both of those apps in it.
