I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S6 and recently updated to Android 6. Now in every folder on my home screen, I have this "plus" icon

which is meant to select apps to add to the folder instead of having to drag them in one by one.

How can I remove this? I haven't changed the UI from default.

Reset to default

This is the new default functionality of Samsung firmware on Android 6.0, a.k.a Marshmallow.

If this really bothers you, you can always download one of the 3rd-party launcher replacement apps and set it as default.

  • Can you be more specific? I don't know what flashing is but I'm pretty sure I haven't touched the stock firmware. What is a go launcher?

  • if you havent touch the stock firmware, forget what i said about flashing the phone. Go launcher is an user interface for your phone, you can download it from playstore. for example:samsung has touchwiz which moslty everyone hates, so they use launchers, try it, it may help :)

Rename the folder to "Google" and the plus will disappear. Then you can rename the folder to whatever you like and it won't come back.

Update: turns out this doesn't work anymore after you restart the device.
