An app drawer is a section on your phone that houses all the installed apps. On Android phones and tablets, things are different — you get a home screen and app drawer.
Whenever you install an app, it is placed in the app drawer and not on the home screen (some launchers let you place on the home screen simultaneously). You can open the app either from the app drawer or home screen. The apps that you access frequently should be placed on the home screen for quicker access.
An app drawer can be accessed from the home screen only. There are two ways to access it. Swipe up from the bottom of the home screen. Or you can tap on the app drawer icon. The app drawer icon is present in the dock — the area that houses apps like Phone, Messaging, and Camera by default.
