When it comes to navigating through your various Google apps, wouldn’t it be nice if everything was as smooth as butter on a hot pancake? 🥞 Unfortunately, the default Google app menu may not always have the apps you actually use, leaving you with the unremarkable company of apps you never touch. It’s like going to a buffet and getting served everything but your favorite dish! 😩

Fear not, my tech-savvy amigos! I’m here to show you how you can reshape that menu to perfectly cater to your needs. With just a few simple steps, you can declutter the menu, remove the unnecessary apps, and add your go-to pals. Consider it a digital makeover for your favorite apps! 💅

How to Hack Your Google App Menu

Step 1: Embrace Your Digital Alter Ego 👩‍💻

To embark on this customization adventure, all you need is a valid Google account and access to a web browser (sorry, this is a desktop-only hack, amigos). Once you’re all set, open any of the main Google apps you use – Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, you name it! It’s like choosing your first weapon for a quest 🗡️ – pick the one that resonates with you.

Step 2: Unlock the Secret Chamber 🏰

Now that you’ve entered the realm of your chosen Google app, look for the square of dots hiding in the upper-right corner. Ja-ja! Found it? Click this magical icon, and voilà! 🪄 The app menu is unleashed, revealing Google’s not-so-perfect guessing game of which apps you use the most. But hey, let’s not dwell on past miscalculations.

Whoa! The default Google Apps menu isn’t giving you all the goodies you deserve!

Step 3: Channel Your Inner Interior Decorator 🎨

Here comes the fun part! Are you ready to make your digital oasis truly YOURS? Simply click and hold on to an app you want to remove from the top portion of the menu, then drag it down to the bottom portion. It’s like uninviting a guest who outstayed their welcome! You can also reverse the process by promoting an app from the bottom tier to the top tier. The choice is yours, my friend!

Ah, much better! The new and improved menu, custom-catered to your digital cravings!

Step 4: Bask in the Glory of Your Creation ✨

Once you’ve meticulously designed your dream app menu, it’s time to click out of the menu to bid it adieu. Now, no matter which Google app you open, your customized menu will faithfully reflect your choices. 🎉 It’s like an orchestra playing your favorite tune as you scroll through your beloved apps! 🎶

Congratulations, tech maestro! You’ve just transformed the way you interact with Google apps, making it not only efficient but also a joy to navigate. It’s puzzling that, in this era of advanced AI and machine learning, Google hasn’t graced us with an automatically personalized menu. But hey, we can take matters into our own hands! 💪
