Managing App Drawer Categories
The App Drawer (opened by swiping up from the home screen) organizes all your apps into category tabs. Categories are auto-assigned by Android's system classification, and you can fully customize them directly in the drawer.
Built-in Categories
| Tab | Contents |
|---|---|
| All | Every installed app (excluding hidden items) |
| New | Recently installed or updated apps |
| AI | Artificial Intelligence assistants, chatbot clients, and generative tools |
| Shopping | E-commerce platforms, order tracking, and delivery apps |
| Finance | Banking apps, digital wallets, crypto, and budgeting utilities |
| Education | Language learning, reference guides, course apps, and e-readers |
| Health | Fitness trackers, workout logs, medical, and wellness apps |
| Travel | Maps, navigation, ride-hailing, airlines, and hotel booking apps |
| Social | Messaging apps, social networks, and email clients |
| Media | Photo galleries, music players, podcast, and video streaming apps |
| Productivity | Office suites, note-taking, calendars, and task management |
| Tools | Calculators, file managers, sensors, and system utilities |
| Games | Games and entertainment experiences detected by the system |
| Work | Apps inside your Android work or managed profile |
| Private Space | Apps inside your Android 15+ Private Space profile |
A tab is only shown when it contains at least one app — empty tabs are hidden automatically to keep the interface uncluttered.
Batch Managing Apps (Multi-Select)
Managing which apps belong to each category is faster than ever:
- Tap any category chip in the top bar to select it.
- Tap the selected category chip again to open its options.
- Select Add or remove apps.
- Check or uncheck multiple apps at once to bulk-assign them, then tap Save. This works for both custom and built-in categories.

Tap the Tune () icon at the far right of the category bar to open the Manage Categories sheet:
- Reorder tabs: Drag the handle next to any category to reorder tabs.
- Hide a category: Toggle off categories you don't wish to see.
- Add custom category: Tap Add custom category, enter a name, and pick an icon.
- Assign apps: Move apps into or out of custom categories.
