To organize apps on an iPhone, the main methods include creating folders by dragging apps over each other, using the App Library to manage apps by categories, and sorting apps alphabetically through settings or manually. Users can also organize apps based on usage frequency, color coding, themes, or how they hold their phone for easier access.
How to Organize Apps on iPhone
- Create Folders: Touch and hold an app until it jiggles, then drag it onto another app to form a folder. You can name the folder for easier identification. Add more apps to this folder by dragging them into it. Emptying a folder deletes it automatically.
- Use the App Library: Swipe left to access the App Library, which categorizes apps automatically under folders such as Social, Entertainment, or Shopping. You can remove apps from the Home Screen and rely on the App Library for access to reduce clutter.
- Alphabetical Sorting: To sort apps alphabetically, go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset Home Screen Layout. This resets the layout and sorts downloaded apps alphabetically after placing default Apple apps in their usual spots. Alternatively, you can manually arrange apps or use the alphabetical list in the App Library.
- Arrange by Usage or Theme: Place frequently used apps on screen edges for easier reach, group apps by themes in rows, or color-code your apps for visual organization.
These methods combined provide a flexible and personalized way to keep the iPhone home screen organized and apps easy to find.
