The Android system allows easy cleaning of the main screen, as Android users can clean and split it according to need and use without even having to delete applications to do so permanently.
If you have apps that you don’t want to see every time you open your phone, and you don’t want to delete them permanently, Android lets you move them to the app drawer instead, according to Day Seven.
Moving an app to the app drawer will make it invisible on your home screen, but you can access it without having to re-download it, and here’s how to remove the app permanently or temporarily on an Android device.
How to move apps to the app drawer on an Android device:
1. Press and hold the application that you want to remove.
- Your phone will vibrate once, giving you access to move the app around the screen.
- Drag the app to the upper-left corner of the screen, where “Remove” appears.
- Lift your finger from the app once the app turns gray to complete the action.
