I recently installed a couple of apps. I can only access them in Settings, apps, open. How can I put an icon for each of these apps on my home screen? Thank you

Do these apps show up when you search in your app drawer? If you can get the apps to show up as search results, you should be able to add them to your home screen by long-pressing and tapping "Add to home".1738601686496.jpg

I type in the search apps the name of the app, it appears, I long-press, nothing happens except keyboard clears away. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

In an empty spot on the home screen somewhere in the middle touch and swipe up. This should pull up the apps currently on the device. Long press and select add to home screen.

If you long press an icon in the app drawer, you should get a mini-menu with the option to add to home screen, or you can long press, hold and drag it to the home screen.

Also go to your phone settings/home screen and then turn on the slider for "add new apps to home screen".  That way, when you install a new app it will appear in the first empty spot on your home screen so you can find it easily.  From there, you can drag it into the position or folder you want.  If you do not want it on your home screen, you can then long press the icon and choose "remove" from the options.  This will not uninstall it but will keep it in the app drawer.
