I Have A Samsung Galaxy 7 Phone And I Have Little + Signs - Like A Grid On One Of The App Screens...

Does anyone know how I can remove those lines? The + signs are spaced out between the app icons. I don't know how or why they appeared and I sure don't know how to make them go away. Help!!!!

I have a GalaxyPad. It could be to do with apps that have updates available. Also have a look at the home screen settings - arrange icons by.... It may be something to do with that.

Didn't think of rebooting. It worked - the +'s are gone.

So glad my wild guess worked!

Thx for letting me know.

That's my go to when something is weird, although, I'm sure there are situations in which that is not a good idea.
