How to Get Rid of the Apps Drawer Button on a Samsung Phone

To make it easier for users to operate smartphones, drawer apps buttons are currently being replaced by gestures or movements on the screen.

Meanwhile, on the latest Samsung phones, it is also replaced with a screen swipe movement up or down to see all the application lists. We can also use other display models that blend with the homepage of the application list.

But not all of the latest Samsung phones use gestures to access a list of existing applications. Only on the latest cellphones that already use the latest version of the TouchWizz interface, Samsung Experience, and ONE UI.

But for friends who have Samsung phones, who also want to enjoy this latest look. On this occasion, Davar Pedia will provide a tutorial on how to remove the drawer apps button and replace it with a screen swipe up or down.

For work or not the admin himself doesn’t know, we recommend the Android OS which is owned on the Marshmellow version and above. And we have also tested this method on the Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime and A3 2023, and it turns out that it works well without any problems such as a force close. If your Samsung cellphone is still below what we recommend, there’s no harm in trying to install it, who knows it works :).

Besides being able to make it easier to access the application list, this will also make the appearance fresher and more elegant.

Okay, without further ado, friends, see the tutorial as follows.
