Discover how to easily move your favorite apps from the App Library to your home screen on the latest iPhone. This article has been revamped to reflect the newest operating system updates, ensuring you get the most current information.
Effortlessly Organize Your iPhone
The App Library, introduced in iOS 14, has been a game-changer for iPhone users looking to declutter their home screens. Instead of endlessly swiping through pages or digging into folders, the App Library categorizes your apps, making them easier to find and manage. We’ll show you how to seamlessly transfer apps onto your home screen, optimizing your user experience.
Simple Steps to Move Apps
To begin, swipe right on your iPhone’s home screen to bring up the App Library. Find an app that’s not currently on your home screen. Long-press the app’s icon until a menu springs up.
Select “Add to Home Screen,” and watch as the app instantly lands on your home screen, ready for use.
Handling Pre-existing Home Screen Apps
If the app already resides on a home screen (whether it’s visible or hidden), the “Add to Home Screen” option won’t appear. Instead, you’ll need to engage Jiggle mode.
Find the app in question within the App Library. Long press its icon until the context menu displays, then continue holding until the app pops onto your home screen, entering Jiggle mode.
In Jiggle mode, gently drag your app to the desired location on your home screen. Finalize the setup by hitting the “Done” button in the top corner of your screen.
Tip: Struggling to locate an app? Use the search functionality in the App Library. Once found, long press, and drag it to transition directly onto your home screen.
Conclusion
Refining your iPhone’s layout by moving apps out of the App Library doesn’t have to be a chore. With these straightforward steps, personalizing your home screen is quick and intuitive.
