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

  1. Touch and hold an app on the Home screen until the app icons jiggle.

  2. 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.

    You can have multiple pages of apps in the folder.
