To rearrange apps on your Vizio Smart TV, start from the home screen and press the left arrow on your remote to open the main menu. This direct remote-based method lets you rearrange apps on your Vizio Smart TV by moving your most-used streaming services to the front of the app row for faster access, unlike Roku’s interface, which uses a different process to move apps on Roku.
How to rearrange apps on your Vizio Smart TV
- Press the left arrow button on your remote to bring up the main menu.
- Scroll down and select "Apps" from the menu, then press "OK."
- From the Apps menu, choose "Home Screen Apps" and press "OK."
- Select the app you wish to move from the list and press "OK."
- Use the left or right arrow buttons on your remote to slide the app to your desired position in the app row.
- Once the app is in the preferred spot, press "OK" again to confirm and save its new location.
This process lets you personalize your app row so that your favorite streaming services are always within easy reach. By placing Netflix, Hulu, or other frequently used apps in the first few slots, you can cut down on scrolling and get to what you want to watch faster.
Tips for a better app layout
Place your most-used apps in the first few slots for quickest access. This saves you time every time you turn on the TV, as you won't need to scroll past lesser-used apps to find the ones you watch daily. Periodically review your layout to remove unused apps, keeping your home screen clean and efficient. If you want to declutter further, check the guide on removing apps to streamline your app row even more.
Can I use the Vizio mobile app instead?
The Vizio SmartCast Mobile app allows control of the TV and launching of apps, but rearranging the app row is typically done directly on the TV interface using the remote. While the mobile app is handy for searching content or adjusting settings, the home screen app row can only be reordered with the remote and the steps above. Stick with the remote for this task to ensure your new layout saves correctly.
