Making a mess of your iPhone’s home screen is simple and fast. Perhaps you have a new phone and are downloading apps all over the place. Or maybe your home screen has too many applications that you seldom ever use or never use at all after years of usage.
In any case, simplifying your iPhone’s home screen will make it easier to locate the applications you use most often.
Regretfully, it is time-consuming to move individual app icons across your home screen and into other folders. In order to relocate an app, you usually need to slide your finger to the desired location after briefly pressing down on it until it begins to jiggle. The procedure must then be repeated for every single app you want to transfer.
Rearranging your home screen might take a very long time if you have hundreds of applications dispersed across it. This is where this secret iOS function comes in handy.

You can really pick and rearrange many program icons at once with Apple. The issue is that there is no clear indication that switching many apps at once is even feasible, and the capability is not well understood.
I’m here now to let you know that it is feasible. Additionally, it works on the iPad.
Easily arrange the applications on your iPhone and iPad home screen.
Long-pressing any app icon or the home screen itself will put you in jiggle mode, which is the official phrase for when all of your applications begin to shake, allowing you to rearrange numerous apps at once.
Start by dragging one of the app icons to a blank area on your screen. Then, while your finger remains on the app symbol, press any more applications you want to move with your other hand. Your iPhone or iPad will display a stack of applications under your finger as you press additional icons. A number indicating the number of apps you have chosen will also appear.
After you’ve chosen any program you want to relocate, you may drag the stack of several applications to a different screen, folder, or location, and then just raise your finger. If it seems unclear, have a look at the GIF on the right, which shows you what to do.
You should be aware that the applications are arranged in the opposite order from which you choose them if you are picky about where each one appears. This implies that the last app you add to the stack will be the first app in the grid, and the first app you choose and begin moving will be the final app in the grid of applications you move.
That’s great, isn’t it?
