The apps drawer is a dedicated screen that holds all the installed applications on your Samsung device. While many users appreciate this organized approach, others prefer having their apps readily visible on their home screen. Disabling the apps drawer lets you customize your home layout to suit your needs—making navigation faster and more intuitive.
If you’re looking to simplify your home screen experience on your device, you can disable the apps drawer on your Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+ or S25 Ultra.
By removing the traditional apps drawer, you can have all your apps displayed directly on your home screen, allowing for quicker access and a more streamlined look.
There are several reasons why you might want to disable the apps drawer:
Faster Access: With your apps directly on the home screen, you no longer need to swipe through multiple screens to find what you’re looking for.
Personalization: Customize your home screen with widgets, folders, and shortcuts in a way that best suits your workflow.
Simplicity: A clutter-free home screen can provide a more aesthetically pleasing and straightforward user experience.
