The apps can be 'grouped' - giving you the equivalent of sub-folders.

- rahkiin 10y agoAndroid has 2 'home screens': they have the menu with all the apps like the iOS home screen, and a customizable home screen with limited space and it is always a mess. I like the iOS homescreen.
- 51Cards 10y agoAndroid puts them in an "App Drawer" (launcher, list, whatever you wish to call it) separate from your home screens. Home screens in Android tend to be things that you use frequently with the ability to create sub-folders or place icons at will on any page. All installed apps are contained in the app drawer which is where I go for things I don't care to see often. Likewise pre-installed apps can be disabled entirely through the App settings area (which it's nice to see iOS offering now as well)
- wodenokoto 10y agoYou only have a home screen on iOS. It makes a lot of things simple. When you remove an app, you remove it, since it only exist in one place. On Android you can remove an app and then it still exist. This might seem obvious to HN users, since you only removed the shortcut from the home screen, but it is not obvious to a lot of users.
- Waterluvian 10y agoI installed a different environment and hid all the apps I never use. I can get to them but they're absent from my day to day. I went through a number of iphones and loved the simplicity that iOS provided. Then I got an Android and put a lot of work into my UI via settings menus and drag and drop, which resulted in something far more minimal than what iOS was (at the cost of setting it up).
