Customize your Samsung smart fridge panel

A Family Hub fridge with the different widgets displayed

You can customize the Family Hub's Home screen and really make it yours. Add the apps and widgets that best suit your family's needs, and remove the ones that don't. You can also select from a variety of widget sizes, customize the screen's wallpaper, and add extra Home screens. The more personal you make it, the more you'll get out of it.

Note: To make full use of the latest features, make sure your Family Hub software has been updated to the latest version. Earlier models may not have access to all features. See the manual in the Help section of the Settings menu for a manual specific to your model.

The main difference between apps and widgets is that apps are displayed as regular icons while widgets are displayed as interactive windows. Whichever one you prefer, you can easily add them to the Family Hub.

Just swipe up from the bottom of the screen to see all of the Hub's available apps, and then touch and hold your desired app. A popup menu will appear; you can tap Add to home to create an app icon, or tap Add Widget . If you choose Add Widget, select the widget's size. Once the app or widget is added to the Home screen, touch and hold it, and then drag it to your desired location.

You can also tap an empty space on a Home screen and then choose from several options like Pictures, Video, Stickers, Drawing, Text, Widget, and App icon.

Note: The apps listed in the Apps menu are the only apps available on Family Hub. No other apps, such as Android apps, can be added. The selection of apps available may change over time or when updating the software on your Family Hub.

You can move around your apps and widgets on the Family Hub's Home screen so you'll always know where everything is located.

To move apps or widgets, touch and hold your desired item, and then drag and drop it to its new location. You can place apps or widgets almost anywhere on a Home screen.

You can also layer widgets to maximize the space on your Home screens. Just touch and drag a widget to your desired position above another widget, and it will be layered in front of it. If it can't be layered, you'll see a light red highlight on the existing widget. You can also layer widgets behind others instead. To do this, touch and hold the widget, and then tapSend to back.

Additional boards (or pages) of your Home screen can be added to the Family Hub if you need some extra space for your apps, widgets, and family photos. Keep in mind that you can only have a total of 6 boards.

To add a new board, touch and hold an empty space on the Home screen and then swipe all the way left to Add new board. Tap the template you'd like to add or select a blank template.

Now you can begin customizing the content on your new board. Tap the board and choose from options like Pictures, Video, Stickers, or Drawing.You can also tap Send to back to layer a widget, Replace to switch the current photo with another photo, Frame to choose a new frame style, or Remove from home to delete the content.

To delete an app, widget, or decoration, touch and hold your desired one. Then, tap Remove from home.

To delete a Home screen board (or page), touch and hold an empty space on the board, and then tap the Delete icon in the board's top right corner.
