Can't Remove Apps from Home Screen with 7.0

Jaredclynn — Thu, 24 Apr 2025 19:56:45 GMT

On an S24 Ultra with the newly downloaded 7.0 One UI. I have a ton of apps I simply want to remove from my home screens but I can't figure out how. This is first time this isn't completely intuitive to me. I long press and the only option is to uninstall (or info) and there is no option to drag the app off screen (it simply moves to a new page). Please help, I feel like an *****, what am I missing?

Do you have this turned on?

Unfortunately, it's unchecked as you show here:/ It only started happening once I upgraded though I guess I don't really remember removing many other icons. When I switch to a different launcher, they have the remove function just fine.

I'm having similar issue with the default Home One UI launcher. Im using the Galaxy Fold 6 and same as you the issue only started after downloaded 7.0 One UI upgrade. Not the end of the world but still midly infuriating.

Is Samsung aware of this issue?

Good more people are saying something I didn't find anything from Samsung acknowledging it but I haven't checked in awhile. I figured I'd just use a different launcher for awhile til they deal with this glaring oversight.
