On your Galaxy phone, add shortcuts for apps.
Using app shortcuts will provide you the quickest access to your most often used apps on a Galaxy phone. You can add them to some or all of your Home screens, but you should also add them to the lock screen for those times when you don't even have time to unlock your phone! On the lock screen, shortcuts for the phone and camera apps are already present.
Note: Available screens and settings may vary by wireless service provider, software version, and phone model.
Shortcuts to your most frequently used apps are available in the Favorite apps bar, which shows at the bottom of your home screen. The Favorite applications bar can only contain a maximum of five apps. It might be necessary to delete at least one program before adding a shortcut.
Note: If you have added the Apps screen button to your Home screen, you will only be able to add 4 apps to the Favorite apps bar.
Get your Home screen in order with all your most-used apps lined up right where you want them. Swipe up or down to access the Apps screen.
There are multiple ways to add shortcuts to the Home screen:
With One UI 5, you can add and remove shortcuts right from the Lock screen. These include Clock style, Notifications, Left shortcut, and Right shortcut. Keep in mind that these options will not appear unless you have a lock screen set up.
Note: You can also tap Wallpaper to change up your Lock screen wallpaper.
