Plus signs on Home Pages

[quaildog]

I have plus signs on the 3 home pages but not on the apps pages. I can't find how to remove all these plus signs. The phone is running Android 5.1.
Does anyone know how to get rid of them?

Please post a screen capture of one of your screens so we could see what you're describing.

(You should be able to simultaneously long press on both the Volume Down and the Home buttons to take a screenshot.)

that looks like samsung's very old before One UI. i don't remember how to get rid of them. unfortunately all my samsung devices are running a much higher android and they are all running on One UI so i can't troubleshoot for you.

i would look into using a different launcher. i have been using Nova Launcher from day one. the only issue might be that your device is so old i'm not sure if any launcher will run on such an old android os.

has this always been like this? or did this just happen?

Just happened recently but don't know why.

I tried Nova Launcher and that fixed the problem. Thank you very much!!!

Looks like I had somehow turned on a launcher called Touchwiz.

TouchWiz was Samsung's launcher before One UI. So it would be the default launcher on your Android 5.1 phone. (Or in other words, you didn't inadvertently 'turn it on', it's an integral part of the firmware installed on your Prime and is always running in the background.)
Instead of fixing the problem with TouchWiz, by installing Nova you're just adding a more feature-rich launcher on top of the existing one.
