Have you ever found yourself with duplicate icons on your phone’s home screen or another screen? It can be frustrating to have two of the same app, but luckily, it’s an easy fix.
First, it’s important to understand how this duplication occurs. Most of the time, it happens accidentally when you drag an icon and accidentally create a copy of it. But no need to worry, you can remove these duplicates without losing any information or data.
Here’s how: simply press and hold the duplicate icon, then drag it slightly without releasing it. You should see an option appear that says “remove.” Drag the icon over that option, and it will disappear. Repeat this process for any other duplicate icons you may have.
It’s important to note that if you have a duplicate icon that you want to keep, such as a shortcut to an app on your home screen, you can leave it there. Just be sure to remove any unnecessary duplicates.
This process works for Android devices, regardless of the version or whether it’s a phone or tablet. So next time you find yourself with duplicate icons on your phone, remember this simple solution.
