Tab S6 Home Screen App Icons
The Home screen provides easy access to all apps and services in smartphones and tablets. This is made possible given that system services and downloaded apps typically have shortcut icons displayed on the Home screen of every mobile device.
Nonetheless, new smartphones and tablets already provide some means to customize and rearrange the built-in display and show only the frequently used controls. That said, you can add or remove an app icon or shortcut from your device when needed.
If you’re wondering how to get this done on the Galaxy Tab S6, you can use this step by step walkthrough as personal reference.
Easy Steps to Hide or Remove a Home Screen App Icon or Shortcut from the Galaxy Tab S6
To see the results, go back to the Home or Apps screen to find out if the Facebook app icon is already gone.
If you want to hide another app icon or shortcut, just repeat the same steps to access the display settings then open the home screen menu to activate the hide apps command.
You can also remove a shortcut from the Home screen by tapping and holding on the app shortcut that you’d like to remove and then select the pop-up command to Remove from Home.
Removing a shortcut icon from the Home screen only hides the app shortcut but does not delete or uninstall the app itself.

Performing a soft reset or reboot on the tablet is usually needed if nothing happens or the app icon remains on the Home screen even after removing it from the display settings. Minor issues like this usually occur when the system encounters random glitches. And turns out that a system reboot or soft reset often takes care of such flaws.
