Today's the day you learn to stop moving iPhone apps around one by one.
in the face of an English cavalry charge, and I want you to keep that in mind for the next few minutes as I talk about iPhones.
Now, the stakes—literally—are not as high today as they were when Wallace’s infantry raised sharpened wooden poles at the last moment, obliterating the rushing horsemen. But those three words will truly help you as I walk through how to select and move multiple apps at once on your iPhone’s home screen.Anyone who’s reorganized their iPhone screens knows this first step: press and hold the app you want to move. Keep holding—don’t let go.
Now, using any finger other than the one keeping pressure on that first app you touched, start tapping the icons you want to move. They’ll start to stack up, along with a number that shows how many apps you’ve grouped together. When you’ve grabbed everything you want, just drag the pile to another part of the home page, a folder, or, and let go. The apps will fall into place right there, in the order you selected them.
That’s all there is to it, but there are some foibles that can make the process a little awkward if you’re using it for the first time.I emphasized Wallace’s words above for a reason: let go of the first app you pressed down on—at any point—and you’ll have to restart the process. If you stop holding when the dialog box popped up, you’ll be stuck there and will have to tap elsewhere on the screen to close it. Don’t bother choosing—you won’t be able to stack the apps no matter how hard you try.
