How to add a folder on my home screen

[bboozer]

How do I add a folder on my home screen? I seem to remember that I could long press and it would give me the option. But now I can't figure out how to.... I have a Galaxy S7 on android 7.0

If I remember correctly -- not a safe bet -- folders on the home screen(s) are an enhanced feature of the launcher, the default launcher usually not supporting it.

Folders in the app drawer are universally supported.

Other way around... Folders in the app drawer are only supported by some launchers (Samsung's being one) but Google's launchers have supported folders on the home screen for a while now. How you create a new one depends on the launcher, some Samsung devices need you to long-press on a blank area of the home screen and select to create a new folder. Sometimes, just hovering one icon over another will create a folder and put those 2 apps in the folder.

Thanks for the correction! :-[

Since it's a Galaxy phone, many Galaxy phones work the same since they work on the default TouchWiz. If you have no custom launcher installed, just hold an app on the home screen for 2 seconds and the 'create folder' option will appear on top!

By the way, if you use Nova Launcher(which i did too) if i remember, it works the same as the default TouchWiz. As far as other launchers go, i am not sure.
