What is an app drawer?
An app drawer is a dedicated space on your phone where all its apps reside. On most stock Android phones, you can open the app drawer by swiping up from the bottom of your home screen. Some phones and launchers also have an app drawer icon in the dock that can be tapped to access all your installed apps.
How to enable app drawer in Mi 10 smartphones?
- Long-press anywhere to access your home screen settings
- Tap the Home Screen option
- Then simply select the App drawer layout
You will now be able to pull up your apps by swiping up from the home screen of your Xiaomi phone. Once you’ve enabled the app drawer, you can head back into home screen settings > App drawer to customize app categories, background color, and more.
