6 Simple Tips for Organizing Apps on Your iPhone

2. A menu will appear.
3. From that menu, select the option Remove App.

Here are the steps to hide the page.

1. Long press on the space on the home screen page.
2. The jiggle mode will start now.
3. You will see the home screen page counter-indicated by white dots.
4. Tap on the page counter.
5. Then the home screen pages will appear in minimized format.
6. Untick the home screen pages that you wish to hide by tapping on them.
   

3. Use Spotlight Search on iPhone

One of the underrated features in iOS is the pulldown search function known as Spotlight search. Regardless of whether you are on any home screen page, pull it down from the top of the screen. It will reveal a search box and a few Siri app suggestions that you can frequently access.

4. Frequently Accessed Apps Must be on the First Home Screen

The first home screen should contain all essential apps, such as payment/banking apps, Google search, phone calls, and message apps. It appears right when you unlock your iPhone.

Some of these apps you can even keep on the dock. For the rest of the apps, you can be out in the app library.

1. Long press on the free area of the home screen to activate the jiggle mode.
2. Then tap on an app, and drag it to anywhere on the home screen you want.
3. To have the frequently accessed apps on the first home screen or the dock, you can move them using the above steps.

5. Organize Folder by App Type

You can group similar apps into a folder. Let’s say you use your banking app, any payment app, and one more app for investment. These are all related to finance. So, you can group these apps into a folder and name the folder Financial Apps.

1. Press on the home screen to initiate jiggle mode.
2. Hold one app icon, drag it and drop it on another app icon. This will automatically create a folder.
3. In this folder, you can drag and drop more apps.
   

6. Move the Folder of Apps on the Home Screen Dock

Another efficient way to organize apps on your iPhone home screen is to have the apps folder on the home screen dock. You can even have multiple folders containing 4 to 5 apps stationed on the dock. This will enhance app accessibility like nothing else.

However, having too many apps in one folder is not a good idea. It will still create clutter. You mostly want to have those apps you frequently access on the dock. Group those few apps into a folder and move them to the dock.

1. Create a folder of apps.
2. Start jiggle mode by pressing the home screen.
3. Then hold the folder and drag it onto the dock.
