To move an app from the App Library to the Home Screen, follow these steps:

  1. Swipe to the App Library (located after the last Home Screen page).
  2. Find the app you want to move.
  3. Touch, hold, and drag the app icon to the Home Screen.


The picture below should help clarify why the apps are added to the App Library.
