Add apps
If a folder has been created in any way, more apps can be added to the folder afterwards. Samsung offers several options for this. either the hold and drag method, or the simpler method via the edit menu. the latter is particularly recommended if several apps are to be added to the folder. a maximum of 40 apps can be added to a folder.
- Open the folder you want
