How Do You Move Apps Around on an iPhone?
To move an app on iPhone, press and hold it until all your app icons start to jiggle. Once they're jiggling, drag the app anywhere on the screen — including onto a different page — and let go to drop it in place. Tap anywhere empty on the screen when you're done to lock the apps back in place.
How Do You Make a Folder on iPhone?
To make a folder, press and hold an app until the icons jiggle, then drag it directly on top of another app you want to group it with. iPhone will automatically create a folder containing both apps. You can rename the folder by tapping its name field, and drag additional apps into it the same way. You can also enter this jiggling edit mode by long-pressing any app and tapping "Edit Home Screen" from the menu that pops up.

Does iPhone Automatically Add New Pages?
Yes. As you add more apps than fit on a single home screen, iPhone automatically creates a new page to hold the overflow. You can swipe between pages, and while in edit mode, you can also tap the row of dots near the bottom of the screen to rearrange pages or hide ones you don't use.
How Do You Add a Widget to an iPhone Home Screen?
Enter the jiggling edit mode by pressing and holding an app, then tap the "+" button, usually near the top of the screen. This opens the widget gallery, where you can search for or scroll through widgets from apps on your phone. Tap a widget to preview it, choose a size if more than one is available, and tap "Add Widget" to place it on your home screen. In this video, I add the Apple Music widget set to show Pins — Apple Music's feature for pinning your favorite artists, albums, and playlists for quick access.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many apps can you put in a folder on iPhone?
A single folder can hold well over a hundred apps, organized across multiple pages within the folder itself, though most people keep folders much smaller for easier browsing.
Can you rename a folder on iPhone?
Yes. After creating a folder, tap the name field above the apps inside it and type a new name, then tap outside the folder to save it.
Can you remove a widget from your home screen?
Yes. Press and hold the widget until a menu appears, then tap "Remove Widget." This only removes it from your home screen — it does not delete the app itself.
