How to Make Folders on iPhone: Why You Should Make

To start the process of organizing your apps, tap and hold down on any application icon on your home screen. This will activate a menu; select Edit Home Screen to enter the editing mode. From here, you will notice a "jiggle" motion in the apps. Drag them anywhere you want.

If you want to move an app, just click done on your iPhone X or later. If you have older models, just tap the Home Button to save your changes.

How to Make Folders on iPhone

Did you know that if you put your apps in your iPhone folder, you won't have to worry about finding them in case they are missing? The steps won't make you sweat and to start, search for a particular app. Touch and hold until you notice that it jiggles. After that, drag it to the folder which will serve as its storage. If you drag it onto another app, a magic folder will come out.

Continue dragging them into the folder to add more apps. Once you've set up your folder, you can rename it for easy identification. To do this, press and hold the folder until a menu appears. Tap Rename, type in your new folder name, then tap Done.

Moving Apps Between Pages on Your Device

For more space or organizing applications on different screens, relocation between pages is easy. First, start by holding down on an application until it jiggles. Then drag your application to the right-hand side of the screen. Wait a moment and a new page will appear.

To delete a page, you'll need to move all the apps from that page to another screen. Once the page is empty, it will automatically delete itself.

You can track which page you're on by checking the row of dots above the Dock. The bright dot denotes the page you are currently on. Drag an app to the right edge of the screen if you want to move it to a new page. When there is a new page, the app will automatically drop into the new page.

If you have iOS 16 or newer, you might have a Search bar at the bottom of your screen instead of a row of dots. You can still swipe through your pages, but now, that Search option will quickly bring up apps and content so you can locate them right away.

More Tips on Getting Organized

To locate an app but not want to scroll through pages, simply swipe down on your home screen and enter the name of the app you're looking for in the search bar provided by Spotlight Search.

Additionally, when creating your folders, organize your apps by what they do. For example, place all of your social apps in the same folder and all of your productivity ones in another.

Another tip is that you need to be aware of how many pages and folders you create. Aim to make your home screen more accessible rather than overwhelming.
