Step 4: Apply Your Preferred Layout

Let's say your current setup is 'Home Screen Only', preventing you from accessing the app drawer by swiping up. To change this, tap 'Home and Apps Screens', then press 'Apply' to save your preferences. Your home screen setup will now provide an app drawer for easier app access.

If you ever decide to switch back to 'Home Screen Only', simply revisit the home screen layout settings, select 'Home Screen Only', and tap on 'Apply' again. Your home screen will go back to displaying only the home screen without the app drawer.
