To create a new folder, you’ll drag an app and drop it onto another app on your iPhone’s home screen. Both apps will then be moved to a new folder.
To do this, first locate the first app you want to add to a new folder. Then press and hold that app until all your app icons start shaking.
While your app icons are still moving, drag your first app onto another app. This will create a new folder with your two selected apps.
Depends on apps you moved to the new folder, your iPhone will assign an appropriate name to the folder. If you want to rename the folder, open the folder, long press the existing name and enter the new name.
To add more apps from your home screen to your new folder, simply drag and drop those apps into the folder. Similarly, to remove apps from your folder, drag those apps out of the folder. This only removes apps from your folder; your applications are not deleted.
And that’s how you create group folders and apps on your iPhone. Enjoy a decluttered iPhone home screen!
