If you’re like most people, your iPhone is packed with applications you use regularly, as well as others you only use on rare occasions. An excess of downloaded applications might involve scrolling through many screens to find the one you want, which can be a pain if you like a bit more order. So know how to create a folder on an iPhone and organize your apps.
Fortunately, you can simply organize your iPhone apps into folders. Creating and naming folders is a straightforward process that takes only a few seconds. Here’s what you should know.
How to Create a Folder on an iPhone?
To know how to create a folder on an iPhone, follow these steps:
- To make a folder, press and hold the app icon you want to move into a folder, then select Edit Home Screen from the pop-up menu.
- When all your program icons start shaking and a little “-” appears in the top left-hand corner of each icon, hold and drag the app to another in the same folder. Hovering one app icon over another creates a folder; release the application icon to drop both apps into your new folder.
Change The Name of Your Iphone’s Folder
You may rename your iPhone folders the same way you created them.
- To begin, tap and hold any of the app icons within the folder you wish to rename until the apps shake and a little “-” appears in the top left-hand corner of each.
- When this occurs, the folder’s title box becomes editable. Tap within it, then input the name you want for the folder.
How to Get Rid of an iPhone Folder?
You can remove a folder you’ve made and have your applications shown separately on your home screen at some point. Deleting the folder and restoring the programs to their original places is simple when this happens.
- To remove an iPhone folder, just touch and hold any app icon within that folder until all of the applications shake and a little “-” appears in the top left-hand corner.
- From within the folder, press and drag the applications one at a time to your home screen. When the folder is empty, it will be erased automatically.
- When you’re finished, tap Done in the top-right corner of the screen.
How to Move Your App to Another Page?
There are only so many slots on one iPhone page; if you wish to start again, you may transfer an app to a new page.
- Tap and hold the app you want to move to a new page, then select Edit Home Screen from the pop-up menu.
- To open a new page, hold and drag the app to the right side of the screen. Allow the app to be dropped onto the new page.
How to Organize Apps on an iPhone?
Now that we’ve covered how to establish a folder on iPhone, let’s look at how to group your apps on iPhone efficiently. Begin by renaming your folders after their contents.
When you create a new folder on your iPhone’s Home Screen, iOS will generate a name for it. To rename, press and hold the screen until a drop-down menu displays Rename as one of the options.
To arrange your apps, just create folders for each task and drag and drop the apps into the appropriate folders.
Please be patient, as this may take a minute. You could also create folders within folders to give even more structure to your app organization, but that option is unavailable as of iOS 16.0. You can move some of your programs to the next page of your folder.
Simply press and hold the app you want to relocate, then drag it to the folder’s edge but not outside of it. The system will automatically build the following page within your folder, and once your program is on a new page, you may drop it there.
When your folder is shown on your iPhone’s Home Screen, just the applications on the first page will be viewable. Before you become overwhelmed by the number of folders you wish to create, consider the following folder kinds that you may make on iPhones:
1. Social media
For apps like Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, Reddit, etc.
2. Games
There are always so many games to entertain you in a long queue, so tuck away your favorite games in this folder.
3. Productivity
Perfect for timers like Session, your mail clients like Canary Mail, planners MindNode, NotePlan, 2Do, translator apps, VPNs, cleaners, etc.
4. Finance
It’s not just your Excel spreadsheet and Calculator app that go here. Use apps like Expenses and Chronicle to tab your bills, keep track of your budgets, and manage income.
5. Travel
From Booking.com, Airbnb, and Uber to local taxis, restaurants, cell operators, and snail mail apps, this folder will get good use if you travel a lot, even if it’s just local.
6. Messaging
Organize apps for texts, emails, WhatsApp, Signal, and whatever else you use to stay in touch.
7. Shopping
Everyone has an app these days, from groceries to electronics and clothing stores, so put them all in one place. You may also use Launcher for iPhone to arrange your Home Screen. The software transforms your iPhone’s Home Screen into a tool for app management and efficiency.
Using custom shortcuts created with the iPhone’s native Shortcuts app, you may add widgets to Launcher and include connections to your frequently used websites, applications, and even particular actions. With Launcher widgets, you may also link directly to albums, singers, and other content.
EndNote
The current technique of arranging apps on the iPhone needs improvement. While Apple listened to its customers and produced the App Library, it could be more user-friendly. Apple may likely develop a new way to organize apps on the iPhone.
