Move and organize apps on iPod touch

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

Touch and hold an app on the Home screen until the app icons jiggle.
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.
When you’re done, press the Home button.

Create folders and organize your apps

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

Touch and hold an app on the Home screen until the app icons jiggle.
To create a folder, drag an app onto another app.
Drag other apps into the folder.
You can have multiple pages of apps in the folder.
To rename the folder, tap the name field, then enter the new name.
When you’re done, press the Home button.

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

Reset the Home screen and apps to their original layout

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 iPod touch.
