delete app from app drawer

[smc333]

When you want to delete an app you have to drag to home screen then drag up to delete... Pretty annoying. Any way to change this so you can just drag and delete?

Welcome to the forums. Not sure if I completely understand what you mean. What phone do you have? You can easily delete any shortcut from your home screen, but to remove an app from the app drawer you need to uninstall it. Very different things, which one do you mean?

What phone do you have? I've never had a phone do that. Dragging to homescreen only creates a shortcut to that app. And deleting from there only deletes the shortcut, not the app.

This function differs per launcher. On Nova Launcher, long pressing an app gives me the option to uninstall.
