The Windows Phone home screen (which is called the ‘start screen’) consists of app tiles. However unlike Android and iOS, new apps you install from the Windows Store don’t automatically appear on this screen. To add apps you install to the home screen, first swipe right from the home screen to see a list of all your apps arranged in alphabetical order. Now navigate to, then tap and hold the app you want to add to your home screen until you see the ‘pin to start’ option; then tap this. The app tile will now appear at the bottom of your home screen. To reposition it, simply tap and hold the tile until the other app tiles grey out, then drag it wherever you want. Resize the tile by tapping the small arrow at its bottom right (see screenshot below) then choosing the small, wide or medium tile size. Tap the tile when you’re done.
