iPhone, Tutorials

In this tutorial, we will learn how to group apps on an iPhone. Grouping apps is a great way to organize your home screen and make it easier to find and access the apps you use most frequently. Whether you want to group similar apps together or create custom folders for different categories, this guide will show you how.

Create a Folder

To start grouping your apps, you need to create a folder. Here’s how:

  1. Step 1: Tap and hold on any app icon on your home screen until all the icons start jiggling.
  2. Step 2: Drag one app icon onto another app icon that you want to include in the same folder.
  3. Step 3: Release your finger, and a new folder with both app icons will be created.

You can continue adding more apps to the folder by dragging them onto the existing folder. You can also rename the folder by tapping on its name, which is set automatically based on the category of the included apps.

Organize Your Apps within Folders

Once you have created a folder, you can further organize your apps within it. Here’s how:

  1. Step 1: Tap on the folder containing the apps you want to organize.
  2. Step 2: Tap and hold an app icon within the folder until all icons start jiggling again.
  3. Step 3: Drag an app icon to rearrange its position within the folder.

This allows you to prioritize certain apps or group them according to your preference.

Create Custom Folders

If you want to create custom folders with specific names, follow these steps:

  1. Step 1: Tap and hold on any app icon on your home screen until all the icons start jiggling.
  2. Step 4: Tap on the name of the folder to edit it. Use the keyboard to enter your desired folder name.

This way, you can create folders based on your own categories, such as “Social Media,” “Productivity,” or “Games.”

Rearrange or Delete Folders

If you want to rearrange or delete a folder, follow these steps:

  1. Step 1: Tap and hold on any app icon on your home screen until all the icons start jiggling.
  2. Step 2: Drag an app icon from the folder onto another area of your home screen to remove it from the folder.
  3. Step 3: To delete a folder, drag all apps out of the folder until it becomes empty. The empty folder will be automatically deleted.

Note that removing apps from a folder won’t uninstall them; they will simply appear as individual icons on your home screen again.

In Conclusion

Grouping apps on your iPhone allows you to keep your home screen organized and easily access the apps you need. Whether you choose to group similar apps together or create custom folders, organizing your apps can save you time and make your iPhone experience more efficient.

Now that you know how to group apps on an iPhone, take a few minutes to organize your home screen and enjoy a clutter-free interface!
