Moving apps to homescreen

[Jayman1973]

Hello Everyone,

I go into settings and in the apps I have the Samsung News App nstalled. 

If I can, how do I go about moving that app over to my homescreen with the other apps? 

I have tried so many different things, it has not been possible to move that app.

I appreciate your assistance.

Hi Jayman1973,

Is it happening only with the Samsung News app? Have you tried moving any other app to the Home screen?

If you have unlocked the Desktop Layout, you can add it as a Widget with One UI Home, you can't add the app itself with One UI Home as your Launcher. 

If you use Nova Launcher as your Launcher, then you can add the app. 

I'm not sure why One UI Home prevents you from adding the Samsung News app, but only allows you to add Samsung News as a Widget (there's 2 by the way).

I also tried on my android z flip 4 phone. No success

You tried the Samsung News Widgets? 

No problem adding the Widget with One UI Home, and no issues with adding the App with Nova Nova launcher. 

You did unlock the Desktop Layout?
