Move apps on the Home Screen on iPhone
You can change the layout of your Home Screen—move apps around or drag them to other Home Screen pages, temporarily hide Home Screen pages, change where new apps get downloaded, and more.
Move apps around on your iPhone
Touch and hold any app on the Home Screen, then tap Edit Home Screen.
The apps begin to 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 Home Screen 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 finished, press the Home button (on an iPhone with a Home button) or tap Done (on other iPhone models).
Hide and show Home Screen pages
Because you can find all of your apps in the App Library, you might not need as many Home Screen pages for apps. You can hide some Home Screen pages, which brings the App Library closer to your first Home Screen page. (When you want to see the hidden pages again, you can show them.)
Touch and hold the Home Screen.
The apps begin to jiggle.
Tap the dots at the bottom of the screen.
Thumbnail images of your Home Screen pages appear with checkmarks below them.
To hide pages, tap to remove the checkmarks.
To show hidden pages, tap to add the checkmarks.
Tap Done twice (on an iPhone with Face ID) or press the Home button twice (on an iPhone with a Home button).
With the extra Home Screen pages hidden, you can go from the first page of the Home Screen to the App Library (and back) with only one or two swipes.
Note: When Home Screen pages are hidden, new apps you download from the App Store may be added to the App Library instead of the Home Screen.
Change where new apps get downloaded
When you download new apps from the App Store, you can add them to the Home Screen and the App Library, or just the App Library.
Go to Settings
> Home Screen.Choose whether to add new apps to both your Home Screen and App Library, or to the App Library only.
Note: To have app notification badges appear on apps in the App Library, turn on Show in App Library.
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 arranged alphabetically after apps that came with your iPhone.
