How do I get an icon on home screen?

How do you get an ico on "desktop"

I have a few apps that the ico isn't on screen, but I would like it there.

Thanks

So like... no. 2 it says touch app blah blah...

I can't find them, to put them on screen


The App drawer... where is it?

Swipe up from the bottom row of the homescreen to bring up your App Drawer.

Cool ... none of that works and I don't have an "app button" like he does.

Are you definitely using a Samsung phone? Because that is how stock Samsung UI works.

I also do not have option to remove ico from home screen (and not remove app)
Something I am sure I used to be able to do?

Does anyone see apps button to turn on, like he says?





I have looked at that guy on this vid before and he seems to have out dated info., at this point

So ... not sure.

Can't get rid of ico or get them.

Weird.

Show us a screenshot of your homescreen.

BTW, it's "icon", not "ico."

Also, make sure that Easy Mode is not enabled.

What's the OneUI version you are running?

I don't know where that setting is, to see if it's off or on

Ok, so what happens if you swipe up from from any point on the homescreen? Nothing?

I get this.

Which is not near all my icons .. there was one I am trying to get, is not there.

And wanted to clean some but now I see, I can no longer do that. I can uninstall but can't Remove from Homescreen

I don't recognize that screen -- @mustang7757 or @Laura Knotek, does that seem familiar on a Samsung phone?

In case this might be a 3rd party app that's taken over the swipe up gesture, see if it still happens in Safe Mode: https://www.t-mobile.com/support/devices/android/samsung-galaxy-s10/safe-mode-samsung-galaxy-s10

That screen is when you go into app drawer on stock Samsung launcher and tap search bar , it acts as a search finder

Oh, I see that now. But why would it be activating automatically just with a swipe up on the homescreen?

If OP turned off app drawer it will give that option instead of app drawer , long press empty page on the home screen >choose home screen settings>home layout turn on home and app drawer
