How to add and rearrange apps on your Samsung smart TV
Though your Samsung smart TV comes pre-loaded with the most popular streaming apps, you may want to add others and do some reorganizing while you're at it.
Adjusting the layout of your Samsung smart TV's home screen is simple. Smart TVs make it convenient to access both streaming services and self-hosted media servers, like Plex, without needing additional devices. However, you may not be maximizing the potential of your smart TV. Adding new apps is straightforward, even if your desired services aren't pre-installed.
Most Samsung smart TVs arrive with popular streaming apps such as Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, Prime Video, and Apple TV, although the available apps can vary by region.
To install a new app, start with the TV's home screen. Utilize the remote to activate the search bar at the top and input the name of the desired app. If the app is unavailable or unsupported, it may not appear. Alternatively, you can browse available apps categorized in your TV's menu. Once installed, an option to add the app to the home screen will become available. Should you wish to pin an app later, navigate to it in the apps menu, press and hold to access the pinning option.
Reorganizing apps on your home screen is equally easy. Select the app you wish to move, press and hold the select button, and choose the move setting. Slide the app left or right to arrange it as desired. To remove an app, choose the respective option from the app's menu.
