This wikiHow teaches you how to move any app icon to a different place on your phone or tablet's home screen, using Android. If your device allows customizing the Apps menu, you can also use this method to move the icons here.

Steps

1
Open your Android's home screen. Unlock your phone or tablet with your security code, or press your Android's home button to get to the home screen.
- If your phone or tablet allows customizing the order of apps on the Apps menu, you can tap the icon, and use the same method to move icons here.

Tap and hold the app icon you want to move. Find the app you want to move on your home screen, and long-press on its icon. This will highlight the app, and allow you to move it around your screen.
