Visual Walkthrough: Exactly Where to Click to Move Apps on Your Roku Screen
By James H. Sterling
Q1: Can I organize my Roku channels into custom folders?
A1: No. Roku OS does not support folder creation, categories, or directory nesting on the home screen. All installed channels reside on a single, continuous 3-column scrolling grid. The best way to organize them is by clustering related services together manually, such as keeping all live news tiles on row three and sports channels on row four.
Q2: Why does an app move back to its original position after I reposition it?
A2: This usually happens if you press the Back button instead of the OK button after moving the tile. Tapping Back cancels the operation. Make sure you press OK on the remote to lock the app into its new slot before clicking away.
Q3: Will moving an app log me out or reset my preferences?
A3: No. Repositioning an app only updates its visual coordinates in the user interface. Your login credentials, user profiles, viewing progress, and personalized recommendations remain completely untouched.
