How to lock your home screen icon in place?

  • Go to phone Settings
  • Choose Home Screen
  • Select the second last option from the menu ‘Lock Home Screen Layout‘
      • As soon as you select this option. It will prevent the items from your Home Screen to be misplaced or repositioned.
      • All the on-screen elements, including icons, widgets, and web shortcuts, will retain their position until you unlock the home screen.

If the home screen does not have an empty space, a new shortcut is created in the new home screen upon the installation of a new app, that is why I think you should use the layout very smartly.

I suggest you avoid installing too many apps unless you are using them. In this way, you can prevent your Samsung Galaxy phone’s home screen from looking cluttery.
