If you recently updated to Android 12 and can’t open the All Apps screen from your launcher, don’t worry. It’s not a bug, and it’s not a problem. Here’s what you need to know to easily open the All Apps screen on Android 12.

You can view all the apps installed on your device on Android 12 with the usual swipe up gesture on the home screen. Be careful to perform the swipe up gesture from the home screen area and avoid the navigation bar.

Swiping up from the navigation bar will give you the App Switcher screen, not the All Apps screen. So if you see the App Switcher screen when trying to access the All Apps screen, simply perform the swipe-up gesture properly from the home screen area, avoiding the navigation bar.

On the home screen, you can do the swipe up gesture on any area, whether it’s empty or has an app icon or widget. The swipe up gesture works anywhere on the home screen, no matter what.
