How to Organize Apps on Your Streaming Device's Home Screen

A cluttered home screen makes finding the app you actually want slower than it needs to be.

Most streaming devices let you reorder, hide, or group apps, but the option isn't always obvious at first glance.

General approaches across devices

  • Move your most-used apps to the front row or top of the list
  • Group similar apps together if your device supports folders
  • Hide or uninstall apps you rarely open rather than scrolling past them

Where to find these options

Look for a long-press or "options" menu on an app icon — most platforms surface reorder and hide options this way rather than in a separate settings screen.

Keeping Apollo Group TV easy to find

Pinning the app near the front of your home screen after the setup steps in our Smart TV app setup walkthrough saves a few seconds every time you sit down to stream.
