How to Declutter and Organize Your iPhone Home Screen

Do you find it extremely tedious to try to declutter and rearrange your iPhone apps one by one? Perhaps you’re bored with your home screen layout, you want to set up your new device, or you’re experimenting with iOS 14’s brand-new custom app icons. Be glad to know that the process of rearranging your home screen doesn’t have to be unbearable.  

Although the release of iOS 11 allowed users to select and move many app icons simultaneously, Apple wasn’t really able to advertise this capability. In other words, people didn’t really know that moving more than one app at a time was even remotely possible.

How to Speed up the Process of Organizing Your iPhone Home Screen  

• First, you have to activate the Jiggle Mode, by pressing and holding on an app icon.
• Next, relocate an app icon to an empty spot on the screen by dragging it.
• Keep your finger on the app icon before you tap on the rest of the app icons you wish to move. Your iPhone should create a stack of apps that you’re relocating as you tap on each icon.
• Once you’ve selected all of the apps that you want to relocate, simply drag the stack to a new folder or screen and lift your finger. It’s important to note that the apps are arranged in reverse order of how they’re selected. In other words, the first app you pick and start to relocate will automatically be the last app in the grid of apps that you’re moving. Conversely, the last app you pick will be the first app in the grid.
