    Anyone else keep those screenshots they accidentally take of their home screen because they know they’ll drunkenly accidentally delete an icon on their home screen and have no idea what icon is missing because they never use it but they e grown accustomed to it and want it back the way it was?

    Just me?

      I rearrange my icons all the time thinking “no this will be more efficient” and I just never really know where everything is.

      That feeling of I know there used to be a specific app where this empty space is but I can’t remeber which one has driven me crazy a few times, now a days I just lock the home screen so it can’t be accidentally changed

      Nope, I don’t use the home screen - it’s such a terrible idea.

      I use folders on every device*, using the same structure, that way all software/tools are categorized the same though they’re different on each OS.

      *Except iOS because it sucks from a customization standpoint.

        Gross.

        For PC I use my launchers. For phone I have ~12 apps plus a weather widget on on screen, then device diagnostics and a Spotify widget on the next.

        My whole “apps” folder on android, however, is 8 folders (Google, Games, Utilities, Info, Market, etc)
