How to Lock App Position on Home Screen for Android Phone Layout (Best Method)
The best method for locking app positions on the Android home screen is to use the native "Lock Home Screen Layout" setting.
However, this feature is included by the phone manufacturer's custom software (like Samsung's One UI or OnePlus's OxygenOS), and is not available on all phones (most notably, it is missing from Google Pixel phones' stock launcher).
Here are the methods, starting with the best:
Method 1: Use the Native Launcher Setting (Best Method - Works on Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, etc.)
Many manufacturers include an option in the home screen settings to prevent apps and widgets from being moved or deleted.
Quick Steps (Varies slightly by phone brand):
Long-Press: Tap and hold your finger on an empty space on your home screen.
Access Settings: A menu will pop up. Look for and tap Settings, Home screen settings, or a gear icon (⚙ ).
Toggle the Lock: Find the option labeled "Lock Home Screen Layout" and toggle it ON.
Once locked, if you try to move an app or widget, you will see a message saying "Home screen layout is locked."
