I. Not Native But Most Comfortable to Use Method
(need additional software):

I strongly recommend to use Appfolders Management extension by Maestroschan If You not familiar with GNOME extension, just follow link and simple instructions. (You will need install recommended special browser Extension to use them.)

Use right mouse click on app and folder icons to get this options:

add app to folder

edit folder

II. Native GNOME Method
(no need any additional software instalation):

  1. Run Ubuntu/GNOME Software

  2. Go to Installed tab and click in right-top corner button with "tick" icon.
