iPhone Applications | How to arrange applications on your iPhone
Once you have downloaded a bunch of applications to your iPhone, you may have more than can fit on one screen. Also, you might find yourself using some applications more than others and want to promote them to the first page. To rearrange the applications on your iPhone follow these easy steps:
Make sure you are viewing the home screen on your iPhone:
Press and hold down on one application for a few seconds without releasing. The screen should look like this:
Now, press on an application that you want to move and drag it around with your finger (I’m moving the Remote application around in this example). Release your finger from the screen when it’s in the place you want:
When you’re done, press the button (the only button) on your iPhone and your changes will be saved.
A few other tips:
- You can drag applications off the screen to the left or right to move them to another home screen. You can only have 16 applications per home screen and your iPhone will automatically make new home screens for you when necessary.
- To delete an application from your iPhone press the X next to an application when your iPhone is in rearrange mode. Your iPhone will then prompt you to confirm the deletion.
- If you delete an application from your iPhone you can always download it for free again from the App Store.
It’s as easy as that! If you don’t have enough applications on your iPhone yet, check out my lists of the best iPhone Applications.
