How to organize your apps in folders on iPhone

You can organize your apps into folders to make them easier to find on your Home Screen pages.

A folder can hold more than one screen’s worth, too: it can contain multiple pages of apps. You can create, rename, or delete a folder, or move an app from a folder back to the Home Screen. Organizing your apps on the Home Screen doesn’t affect App Library, either.

Here’s how to organize your apps in folders on iPhone.

Create a folder

1. Go to the Home Screen.
2. Touch and hold the Home Screen background until the apps begin to jiggle.
3. To create a folder, drag an app onto another app and then drag other apps into the folder.

   A folder can contain multiple pages of apps.

4. To rename the folder, touch and hold it, tap Rename, and then enter a new name.

   If the apps begin to jiggle, tap the Home Screen background and try again.

5. When you’re finished, tap Done.

Note: If you organize your apps on the Home Screen, it doesn’t affect the organization of apps in App Library.

Delete a folder from your Home Screen

1. Go to the Home Screen.
2. Touch and hold the Home Screen background until the apps begin to jiggle.
3. Tap the folder to open it. Then drag all the apps out of it onto the Home Screen.

   When the folder is empty, it’s deleted automatically.

Move an app from a folder to the Home Screen

Moving an app from a folder to the Home Screen makes it easier to locate and open.

1. Go to the Home Screen.
2. Locate the folder that contains the app. Tap the folder to open it.
3. Touch and hold the app until the apps begin to jiggle.
4. Drag the app from the folder to the Home Screen.
