You can easily add flip apps and widgets on your Samsung Galaxy Z home screen. So you can customize the home screen to your own liking.
Now that you have placed some applications and widgets on your Home screen in the correct order and arrangement, it can sometimes happen that certain apps are moved or deleted. This is annoying, because then you have to do the work of moving the icons back to the right place.
If you are affected by this problem, you will certainly want to know if there is a way to freeze the layout so that your home screen cannot be changed.
This feature is available on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and is called "Lock Home Screen Layout". Where you can find this nice feature in Android and activate it, we will explain here:
Freezing the Home Screen Layout - manual
