Install an app. Find it. Make an icon appear.

[JonQJacobs]

I have installed a couple of apps on my new tab s7+. My Kindle app I can make appear by doing a voice search on the Google input on the desktop. My Bible app, I was able to use right after install, but since then I cannot find it to launch it.

1. How can I find it on my tab?
2. How can I create an icon on my desktop so I don't have to hunt for it in the future?

I bought the tab so I can use the iRobot app to control my new Roomba s9+. But what's the point if I cannot find the app after I install it.

Thank you,

Look at pg 21 of your manual to learn how to set the homescreen to add app shortcut icons automatically when you install a new app: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/632194.pdf

You should also be able to search for the app in your App Drawer -- do you see a search bar there?

It can be a little tricky if the app's official label is different from the app name in the Play Store -- this happens from time to time. In that case, if it doesn't show up with the search terms you enter, you might have to look at all of the apps in your App Drawer until you identify the app icon for the app.

Thank you very much! I couldn't find an app drawer on the screen, but I followed the instructions of page 21 to put the apps icon on the screen. Once I had that, I could find my apps.

Great! To get to your App Drawer, you typically swipe up from the bottom row of the homescreen.
