How to Create App Folder on Galaxy Watch (Wear OS 4)

Do you want to create an app folder on your Samsung Galaxy Watch just like your phone? Fortunately, the Wear OS 4 update adds app folder functionality to Samsung Galaxy Watches. This post will show you how to create app folders on Galaxy Watch 4/5/6 running One UI Watch 5.

Meanwhile, the new update for Samsung’s Galaxy Watch makes it easier to organize apps. Before, all the apps were shown in a long list, making it hard to arrange them. Now, you can move apps around and put them into folders. You can even name these folders and add more apps to them. This makes it simpler to keep your apps organized.

However, this feature is only available on Samsung’s Galaxy Watch for now. We don’t know if Google will include it in their Wear OS 4 update. Right now, Wear OS still has a list that scrolls alphabetically, which isn’t as handy for making folders. But if Google adds this feature in the future, it would be a good improvement.

If you’ve got lots of apps on your Samsung smartwatch, this new folder feature in One UI Watch 5 is a real game-changer. The app menu on Galaxy watches used to feel a bit lacking, but now with folders, it’s much better. Folders make it easier to sort and find your apps, making your life simpler and helping you get to your apps faster.

That’s it. This was the process to create app folders on Samsung Galaxy Watch 4/5/6 running One UI Watch 5 based on Wear OS 4. The Wear OS 4 update isn’t a huge change, but it brings some handy improvements for people who use Samsung Galaxy Watches. These app folders make it easier to tidy up your apps and find what you need, which is pretty helpful. We’ll have to wait and see if Google adds this feature to its own Wear OS update, but for now, Samsung watch users can enjoy using app folders.
