The new app drawer in Android Marshmallow is not only functional, but it looks great too thanks to a clean new white look.
Download Google Now Launcher
To run the new app drawer, you first need to replace your current launcher with the Google Now Launcher. Nexus devices use this launcher by default, so Nexus owners can ignore this step. If, however, you do not have the Google Now Launcher then you need to download it from the Play Store by clicking below.
Install the new APK app for Android Marshmallow
Once you've installed Google Now Launcher, you need to download the Google App APK file. To do this:
- Make sure your device is set to accept downloads from unknown sources. To enable this, go to Settings > Securitythen tick the Unknown sources box.
- Next, download the Google App APK file to your device, which you can get directly by clicking here. Open the APK once you've downloaded it, then follow the instructions to install Google App.
You're set. All you need to do now is go to your app drawer to admire the new look. If you decide you don't want it, just uninstall it like you would any other app.
