Move and organize apps on iPad

You can move apps around the Home Screen, organize them in folders, move them to other Home Screen pages, and reset the original layout.

Move apps around the Home Screen, into the Dock, or to other pages

Touch and hold any app on the Home Screen, then tap Edit Home Screen.
The apps begin to jiggle.
Drag an app to one of the following locations:
- Another location on the same page
- The Dock at the bottom of the screen
- Another Home Screen page
  Drag the app to the right edge of the screen. You might need to wait a second for the new page to appear. The dots above the Dock show how many pages you have and which one you’re viewing.
When you’re finished, tap Done at the top right.

You can group your apps in folders to help you find them more easily on the Home Screen.

Touch and hold any app on the Home Screen, then tap Edit Home Screen.

To create a folder, drag an app onto another app.
Drag other apps into the folder.
You can have multiple pages of apps in the folder.

When you’re finished, tap Done at the top right.

To delete a folder, tap the folder to open it, then drag all the apps out of it. The folder is automatically deleted.
