Customizing the Home screen

Customize the Home screen by adding or removing apps and changing the wallpaper. Some apps are included on the Home screen by default. You can add an app from the App library for quick access, move apps to a new position or to a new screen, group apps, or remove them from the Home screen. If you want to add an app that's not included in the App library, you can download it from the App store.
