My apps icon button - how to show all apps & add to phone home screen

The latest Samsung devices come pre-installed with One UI, an operating system that has been specifically designed to make things simpler, clearer and easier to use. One of the design features has been the removal of the apps button, giving you more space for your most used app icons. 

You can access all of your apps by swiping up on your home screen.

Swipe up from your home screen

If you would prefer, you can choose to add the apps button back onto your home screen.

Please note: the exact layout of the buttons may vary slightly depending on the model and operating system of your phone.
