Something's wrong with my home screen

Switch to the Quickstep home screen. It fixes most home screen problems.

Your phone has two home screens:

  • Our custom launcher, which comes pre-installed and is the default

  • Quickstep, the alternative home screen

For any home screen problem, switch to Quickstep. This includes icons missing, a doubled or black clock, the layout changing, tapping an app opening a different app, or speed dial not working.

Switch to Quickstep

Go to Settings → Apps & notifications → Default apps → Home app and select Quickstep.

Other home screen fixes

Problem

Fix

Quickstep isn’t in the Home app list

Settings → Apps & notifications → See all apps → ☰ → Show system → Quickstep → Enable. Then set it as the Home app.

Icons missing on Quickstep

See all apps → ☰ → Show system → Quickstep → Storage & cache → Clear storage.

Duplicate icons

Hold the extra icon → Remove.

An app isn’t on the home screen

Open the app drawer, hold the app, and drag it onto the home screen.

Good to know

  • Please don’t uninstall the home screen app from Settings.

  • Hiding installed apps isn’t supported. If you don’t want an app, uninstall it. It stays in your app store and can be reinstalled anytime.
