Move and organize apps on iPhone

Rearrange the apps on the Home screen, organize them in folders, and move them to other pages (or screens). You can also reorder your pages.

Move apps around the Home screen, into the Dock, or to other pages

Lightly touch and hold any app on the screen until the app icons jiggle. If the apps don’t jiggle, make sure you’re not pressing too hard.
Drag an app to one of the following locations:
- Another location on the same page
- The Dock at the bottom of the screen
- Another page—drag the app to the right edge of the screen. You might need to wait a second for the new page to appear. The dots above the Dock show how many pages you have, and which one you’re viewing.
Tap Done (iPhone X and later) or press the Home button (other models).

You can group your apps in folders to help you find them more easily on the Home screen.

To rename the folder, tap the name field, then enter the new name.
Tap Done (iPhone X and later) or press the Home button (other models).

To delete a folder, drag all the apps out of the folder. The folder is automatically deleted.

Go to Settings > General > Reset.
Tap Reset Home Screen Layout. Any folders you’ve created are removed, and apps you’ve downloaded are alphabetically ordered after apps that came with your iPhone.
