# Tutorials

### **Can I enable Google Now/Discover in the Smart Launcher home screen?**

Open *Preferences,* enter *Page manager*, then create an empty position on the left (right in RTL languages) by either moving or removing the existent pages. Press the + symbol in the empty position, then select "Google page".

Smart Launcher will check if you have both the Google app and the *SL Bridge app* installed; otherwise, it will show instructions to complete the integration.

You will be able to access the Google page like any other page on your home screen.

### **How can I add a custom font to my launcher?**

Download the font on your device, then click on the ttf or otf file and open it with Smart Launcher. Alternatively, you can create a folder in the root of your storage, call it “fonts”, and move inside all the fonts you’d like to see in Smart Launcher. You will be able to switch fonts in *Preferences* → *Global settings* → *Fonts*.

### **How can I move an app into a different category?**

Perform a long press on an app, then drag and drop its icon where you want.

### **How can I sort apps alphabetically?**

Open the App page, tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner, then select *Sorting* → *By name*. If the list still appears out of order, contact support and include screenshots of the Sorting options and the app list.

### **How can I assign an action to an app icon gesture?**

Long-press the app icon, open *Gesture*, then choose the action you want. For example, you can set a swipe-up on an icon to open one of that app's shortcuts. Available actions depend on the app and your Smart Launcher setup.

### **How can I hide an app?**

Perform a long press on an app, then press the “Eye” icon.

### **I prefer the old Smart Launcher 3 layout. How can I have it back?**

Open *Preferences →Themes*, then select *SL3*.

### **I can’t see the notification count, I just see an empty badge.**

You can change this behaviour in *Preferences* → *Home page* → *Notifications* → *Show notification count.* If after changing this option, you can’t see the new event count it means the app has just one new event or it is not providing accurate info.

### How can I enable left handed mode in SL6?

Left handed mode was an option available in SL3 to move the category bar on the right.

Smart Launcher 5 removed the left handed mode because now you can manually select the position of the category bar. To move your category bar on the right like left handed mode did, open *Preferences* → *App Page* → *Category bar* → Position then select *Right*.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.smartlauncher.net/products/faq/personalization/tutorials.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
