When I put a shortcut icon on the Home Screen, it is automatically labeled, as shown in pic. This is great.

But the 'Favorite' Icons at bottom have no labels. This is not great. How can I get the labels to appear?

Thanks

If I'm not mistaken, currently only with a third party launcher such as Nova, ... etc...

Thanks, the attachment isn't displaying. But I sure hope you're wrong. I would be shocked if I couldn't get labels onto the Fav Icons.

LOL, it defies logic that those Fav Icons aren't labeled automatically. Thanks for the tip about a work-around!
