Hello everyone, I'm Ihsan.
In this video, I will share 10 tips for setting the Samsung phone home screen to be more awesome.
Here we will talk about how to quickly set icons on the homescreen and
add a photo widgets on your homescreen
and there is also a way to set folders in terms of color, appearance and size.
Okay, now let's just take a look at the setting one by one.
For the first tip, you can select and move multiple icons on the homescreen all at once.
If you want to move multiple icons on your homescreen.
You can press and hold on an icon.
Then press select,
then you just have to select the other icon that you want to move as well.
After all the icons are selected you can immediately press and hold on one of the icons
and now all the icons that you've just selected can be immediately moved all at once.
So, you can move multiple icons at once in this way without the need to move the icons one by one.
Then the second tip is a way to create a folder on the homescreen.
To create a folder on the default homescreen, you can select one icon,
then just put it on top of another icon like this and the two icons will immediately become a folder.
In addition to this standard method you can also create a folder by selecting
all the icons that you want to put inside the folder.
You can do the multiple selection method like on the first tip, then at the top of the screen there will be a create folder option.
Then you can select this "create folder", and type the name of the folder.
Then just go back and you have successfully created a new folder.
Then the third way to create a folder faster is that,
you can also directly drag-and-drop the app icon like this.
And then press and hold on one of the icons and click select.
Then you just have to select all other icons that you want to move as well.
After selecting all the app icons, you can press and hold then drag all the icons inside the folder,
and you can also quickly create folders using this third way.
Then the fourth tip, you can also make your phone homescreen to be more awesome
by adding multiple photos that you like.
For those of you who like to show your favorite photos on your homescreen,
you can take advantage of the "Picture Frame Widget" feature on this Samsung phone.
to activate it, you can first download the Picture Frame Widget application in the Galaxy Store,
this is the official Samsung application
and you can directly download it for Samsung phones that already support this feature.
After you've successfully downloaded the application, you don't need to open the application, and just close it.
Then on the homescreen you can press and hold on an empty part of the homescreen,
then select the widget menu. In this widget, you just have to look for a widget called "picture frame",
then you can directly select this "picture frame" widget and press the "add" button.
Then you can choose the photos that you want to show on your homescreen.
You can choose your own photos directly or you can also choose directly from the album,
or if you want to display all the contents of your photos inside your gallery, you can also choose "random".
Here, for example, we choose the album option, then select a specific album and now the photo widget
will be available on your homescreen
For the size of the widget, of course, you can also customize it. you can make the widget bigger or smaller.
Then the cool thing about this widget is that you can also set it to show 2 or 3 photos in a frame.
To open the widget settings, all you have to do is press and hold on the widget, then select the settings menu.
In this setting, you can change the displayed photo that you have selected earlier,
then there is also a layout option for the photo, you can make a layout of 2 photos like this,
or there is also a layout to display 3 photos at once.
Here, for example, let's choose the layout of 3 photos, then for the slide show the interval you can also choose between 3 seconds, 5 seconds or 7 seconds.
Here let's leave it for 5 seconds, and then you can also set the position of the image
there are "Center and Fill Frame", "Fit to Frame" and "Stretch to Fill Frame". Here the "Center and Fill Frame" is recommended.
Then there is also "Match with Dark Mode" feature. This feature seems to make the photo widget
being a little darker when the "dark mode" is activated on the smartphone. Then after you've completed the widget setting,
You can click the "done" button and the widget has turned into 3 photos that will be available on your home screen.
and if you change the size of the widget the photo will also be automatically adjusted.
This photo widget feature is very helpful for those of you who like to show photos on your home screen,
because besides it looks great, this app is also an official app from Samsung
so it will be compatible with your Samsung smartphone without any issues.
and you don't need to install third-party applications just to display widget photos on your home screen
if you use Samsung phones. As for the appearance, it also looks better
because at the edges you can see it has rounded corners edges
so it looks more compatible with a rounded corner screen like this.
Then the fifth feature is that you can lock the homescreen so that the icon and widget cannot be moved
If you have a children or friend who like to borrow your phone.
or your phone is often borrowed by your friends, you can activate the lock feature for the home screen layout.
just go into the home screen settings and activate the "lock home screen layout feature".
By activating this feature the icons on the home screen can no longer be moved by anyone who borrowed your smartphone.
So all icons and folders on the home screen cannot be moved anymore if you activate this feature,
and if you want to move the icon to another position later on,
You need to deactivate the previous setting first. Just go into the settings as usual and disable the settings.
And after disabling the settings, the icon can be moved as usual.
Then the sixth tip, make sure you don't activate the "Add New Apps to Home screen" feature
because if this feature is active, later when you download the application from the Playstore,
the app icon will be added to the home screen automatically and over time it will fill up all of your home screen.
Then the seventh feature that you can use is "App Icon Badges". You can also find this feature in the home screen settings.
In the home screen settings you can see the "App Icon Badges" feature that you can activate.
If you don't want to bring up the number of incoming notifications in each application on the home screen.
You can change the badge style to show a dot only.
so later if there is an application that has a notification on the home screen
it will only appear with a dot only without the number of notifications.
then below, you can also activate or deactivate the notification feature on app icons.
the function is that when you activate this feature
when there is an incoming notification on the icon, you can press and hold
and one of the newest and latest notifications
will immediately appear in this section
and if you don't want the latest notifications appears when you press and hold on the icon
you can disable the option
Then the 8th feature, you can also hide the icon on the home screen
if there is an app icon that you don't want to appear on the home screen or in the app drawer
you can go to the homescreen settings, then select this "hide apps" option.
in the "hide apps" setting, you just need to select the application icon that you want to hide from the homescreen and app drawer.
For example, here let's select the camera application.
then click the "done" button at the bottom.
and now the camera app will no longer appear on your home screen and also in the app drawer.
So, you can take advantage of this feature to temporarily hide apps that you don't want to appear on the home screen
to show the icon like before. You only need to go into the "hide apps" feature
and delete the app icon at the top, then click the "done" button.
and the application will reappear on the home screen and app drawer.
then the 9th tip, you can also change the color appearance of the folders on the home screen
to change the color of the folder on your home screen, just open the folder then click on the circle at the top right of the folder
then here you can choose the color of the folder
and after you’ve picked the color, click the "done" button,
the color of the folder can be changed from here directly and you can change to different colors depending on your preferences
then the 10th tip is that you can change the appearance of the pop-up folder to be smaller
for the folder display when you open one of the folders on the homescreen
it will immediately appear on full screen
and if you use mobile phones with a fairly large screen size
sometimes the icon at the top is a bit difficult to reach.
and if you want the appearance of the pop-up folder to be more compact and smaller.
you can take advantage of this home up feature
in the "home up" application you can activate the folder pop-up feature.
by activating this feature later while opening the folder on the home screen
the pop up folder display will be smaller and easier to reach with one hand
so the display will not fill the entire screen and you can see app icons quickly
for the home up feature, unfortunately it is not available on all Samsung phones,
but so far we can only activate it on a few series of Samsung smartphones
if your phone already compatible with home up, you can take advantage of this features.
You can also use it for various other features
you can adjust the level of background blur in the app drawer.
You can also delete all icon labels on the homescreen or in the app drawer,
and it will only show app icon only.
and you can also use it to suggest the folder name,
when creating a folder on the homescreen.
There will be a folder name suggestion that you can choose at the top.
for the size of the grid folder or display icon on the home screen which is usually 3x3 only.
you can also change it to be smaller like this if you activate this "Home Up" feature.
if you want to activate this "Home Up" feature and try other features as well,
