Google denies dropping app drawer for Android

Hoping to quash fears and rumours that Android will be losing its app drawer, Google has denied there are plans to get rid of its app drawer in the near future. Android users were up in arms when a short clip on Google Maps’ Twitter account showed a Nexus 6P sans an app drawer. It’s a blink or miss it sort of thing of the first two seconds of the clip. But hawk eye users were speculating this might be the start of Android dropping its app drawer to mimic the iOS approach of having all apps on the home screen. Google says the user interface shown in the video is a bad mockup of the app and it doesn’t hint at anything coming up in terms of UI changes.
