How to Access Multiple Home Screens on Your Samsung Galaxy Tablet

Samsung Galaxy S22 For Dummies

The main base from which you begin exploration of your Samsung Galaxy Note or Samsung Galaxy tablet is the Home screen. It’s the first thing you see after unlocking the tablet, and the place you go to whenever you quit an app.

To view the Home screen at any time, just press the Home key, which is found on the front of the tablet, right below the touchscreen.

The Home screen is more than what you see. It’s actually an entire street of Home screens, with only one Home screen panel displayed at a time.

It is easy to switch from one home screen panel to another, simply swipe the Home screen left or right. The currently displayed Home screen can be determined by looking at the Home screen index.

When you press the Home key, you’re returned to the last Home screen panel you viewed. To return to the main Home screen panel, press the Home key a second time.

Both the Galaxy Note and Galaxy Tab come with one panel to the left and right of the main Home screen panel.
You can add as many panels to the Home screen street as you like.

He combines his love of writing with his interest in technology to create books that are informative and entertaining, but not boring. Having sold more than 14 million titles translated into more than 30 languages, Dan can attest that his method of crafting computer tomes does seem to work.
Perhaps Dan’s most famous title is the original DOS For Dummies, published in 1991. It became the world’s fastest-selling computer book, at one time moving more copies per week than the New York Times number-one best seller (although, because it’s a reference book, it could not be listed on the NYT best seller list). That book spawned the entire line of For Dummies books, which remains a publishing phenomenon to this day.
