Some of the items on the various home screens can be ‘hidden’. Now when there’s more than one pending notification they’ll group themselves into one. In the NOTIFICATIONS section locate the Collapse notifications item and switch the toggle to ON. You can keep the notification bar a bit more tidy by grouping all of the notifications into one. The search bar will now be gone from the Lock Screen. Toggle the Display search bar on lock screen setting to OFF. I’m not sure about you but I’ve never grabbed my Amazon Fire and tried to search for something using that search bar on the Lock Screen. If the option to remove search isn’t available to you, it’s for this reason. The cost of the Amazon Fire is often discounted slightly on the condition that some features can’t be disabled – this is one of them. Note: several readers have mentioned that they don’t see the option to remove the Search Bar. Create different collections for different App types and before you know it your Amazon Fire home screen will be a lot less cluttered. Continue to drag-and-drop other App icons into this newly created collection. You can name it anything you want, but something descriptive will be helpful. As soon as you let go, a window will appear asking you to give this new App ‘collection’ a name. Tap and hold one of the App icons, then drag-and-drop it onto another App icon. You can group Apps into their own little box by dragging and dropping one of them onto another. Here’s a quick way to organize it and tidy it up at the same time. Out of the box, before you even install any of your own Apps – the Amazon Fire has a pretty cluttered home screen/desktop. Select the wallpaper you want to use by tapping on it once and then the Set button. Otherwise you can choose one of the included wallpapers – swipe from right to left to view them all. If you’ve saved a photo on your Amazon Fire that you’d like to use as the home screen background image/wallpaper, tap the Pick image icon and select that picture. Select Display from the list of Settings. Now return to your For You Home screen and check – a bunch of the sections have been removed and the screen is a bit less cluttered and more useful. Switch the toggle next to Recommendations to OFF. Most of the time they feel a lot more like ads for stuff you don’t want to buy. On the For You Home screen there are sections full of things Amazon thinks you might be interested in. Now the main Home screen only has your App icon shortcuts. Switch the toggle next to Show New Items on the Home Page to OFF. If you’d prefer to have your main home screen a bit less cluttered, you can remove the New Items section entirely. 
Somewhat surprisingly, there are quite a few ways you can customize the Fire. This guide will take you step by step through the process of customizing the Home screen on your Amazon Fire tablet.
