Some how I deleted my first home screen and want it back. I like to have the first one blank, no icons, but it’s gone now. I had it yesterday and through the night, I bumped something and when trying to clear the screen, it deleted the first home screen. How can I add it back? Thanks!

Yes, I can swipe right for 2 more screens then back again. I used to have 4 screens, with the first being the blank one followed by 3 that have all my apps.
I know and I’m sure there’s a way to do it through the phone but I can’t figure it out.That should not have been necessary @Robin P
Currently I have 5 but I use only one.
Try tapping on the round button on the bottom then scrolling left. If you see a big + button on the last one you can create more a screen real estate. Only one can be the Home Screen. HTH

Yes, that was one of the first things I tried but there’s no + anywhere on any of the screens.

just an fyi there are so many really good launchers that can do add more homescreens veru easily. the two best launchers that are pretty popular here is adw launcher and nova launcher. i use nova prime (its the paid version of the free nova launcher). i currently have 5 home screens. i like nova because it has some really cool visual effects and is very customizable. i would look into trying one out.
