LG G5 Home Screen

Here are some LG G5 Home Screen tips on how to navigate on your LG G5 smartphone.
  • Tap or touch – A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters on the on-screen keyboard.
  • Touch and hold – Touch and hold an item on the screen by tapping it and not lifting your finger until an action occurs.
  • Drag – Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. You can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.
  • Swipe or slide – To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger across the surface of the screen, without pausing when you first tap it (so you don’t drag an item instead).
  • Double-tap – Double-tap to zoom on a webpage or a map (if the feature is supported by the application).
  • Pinch-to-Zoom – Use your index finger and thumb in a pinching or spreading motion to zoom in or out when using the browser or maps, or when browsing pictures (if the feature is supported by the application).
  • Rotate the screen – From many applications and menus, the screen orientation adjusts to the device's physical orientation.
• Do not press too hard; the tap screen is sensitive enough to pick up a light, yet firm tap.
• Use the tip of your finger to tap the option you want. Be careful not to tap any other buttons.

The LG G5 is bundled with Android 6.0 "Marshmallow". Citing confusion between removing shortcuts to apps and uninstalling them entirely, the G5's home screen does not feature an "app drawer", and instead places all apps on pages of the main home screen similarly to iOS and other custom Android distributions. LG G5 does not support Android Marshmallow's "adopted storage" feature. Due to financial conditions and advisories by local carriers, the LG G5 is downgraded for the Latin America market to use the slower, octa-core Snapdragon 652, and only includes 3 GB of LPDDR3 RAM.
