Stock App Folders

[Satori]

When I first received my S23, there were 3 app folders already created. In a hasty effort to remove unwanted apps, I deleted one of those folders and I do not remember which apps were in it. The two remaining folders are the "google" app folder and the "microsoft" app folder. I'm mainly wondering which apps were in it because now I do not have an easy way to access Android Auto. It doesn't appear in the app tray so I cannot move a "shortcut" to the home screen. The only way I'm able to access AA is via Settings > Apps.

Can anyone tell me if the app folder that I deleted contained an app icon / shortcut to AA?

TY

I do not think Android Auto has an app icon.. I think you can only access it through settings.....

Removing a folder does not, inherently, uninstall those apps, there are multiple prompts that you have to go through to uninstall apps, so I think you are safe there.

If you go to Settings and search fo "Android Auto", you will see Android Auto for Phone Screens where you can set some settings. There is also under "others" Android Auto where you can set more specific App settings.

As stated by @puch96 , there is no specific app icon on the home screen or app drawer, it turns on when your phone is plugged in and detects what is needed for it to be used.

Hope this helps!

OK, thank you for the replies! Working through wireless AA issues and was hoping there was an easier way to access AA settings quickly. Appreciate the clarification.

You can do as I did, with the 3rd party apk you can make a shortcut....

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not familiar with "the 3rd party apk" to which you refer.
