The launchers you see on the Home screen don't represent all apps on the device. To view all installed apps, visit the apps drawer: Swipe the Home screen from the bottom upward. For devices that show the Apps icon on the favorites tray, tap that icon, similar to what’s illustrated in the margin.

The apps drawer lists all installed apps on your phone or tablet. You may see a long list, or the apps may be presented on pages you swipe left and right. Atop the list you might find a row of apps you use most frequently.

To launch an app, tap its icon. The app starts, taking over the screen and doing whatever magical thing that app does.

  The apps drawer features a search bar, which helps you quickly locate a specific app: Tap the search box and type the app’s name. This tool is handy for locating a specific app in a highly populated apps drawer.

 Like the Home screen, the apps drawer may also feature folders. These folders contain multiple apps, which helps keep things organized. To access apps in a folder, tap the Folder icon.

 The stock Android apps drawer displays apps alphabetically. Some devices let you change the order and edit the apps drawer. Look for an Edit (pencil) or Action Overflow icon on the apps drawer to edit the pages.
