Hi guys, David and David here from payetteforward.com and upphone.com, and in this video, we're
going to show you how to organize the apps on your iPhone.
Now, this isn't too hard to do and there's a really simple way to do it that we're going
to start with, and then we're going to show you how to move apps around and put them in
the right folders.
So, let's go to Settings, and then General, and scroll down to Reset, and then be aware
of this little "Reset Home Screen Layout" button.
What this does is it takes all of your apps out of their folders and puts them all alphabetically
on your iPhone from start to finish.
Yeah.
Well, actually, the first the built-in Apple apps don't get touched by that.
Yeah, okay, cool!
So Settings and contacts and calendar — those will all be on the main page of the Home screen,
and then all your apps you downloaded after the fact will show up on page two and three
and four and five, depending how many apps you have.
So let's do it.
I'm not in love with my Home screen layout.
Wow.
Let's just go ahead.
You're going to do it?
We're gonna do it.
Amazing!
So let me close the Settings app and show you what that looks like.
As you can see, the main Home screen page — these are all the built-in apps, not
in alphabetical order.
And if you have a lot of built-in apps, it'll actually go over on to the second page of
the Home screen, as you can see.
Files, Watch, Find My Friends, but...
After that, one folder remains.
Yeah.
That is the Utilities folder which comes by default with your iPhone.
So we got, yeah, a lot of good stuff.
Blech!
So, but now, as you can see all my other apps are in alphabetical order.
And it looks like if your app starts with a number, that goes before the letters, which
is kind of interesting.
There you go.
So, let's show them how to put them into folders.
All right.
So all of your apps are now out of their... they're out of the weeds.
And this is a really cool way if you have tons of apps to go through and actually delete
the ones that you don't want on your phone.
So to delete an app on your iPhone, and also to move it, and also to do everything else,
we need to press and hold on that app until it starts to wiggle.
Now, David just did it like a pro because he is.
However, let's get out of this real quick.
All right.
Press and hold too hard.
So right there: 3D touch.
Right, 3D touch.
If you get a menu that pops up when you're trying to do this, you're just doing it too
hard.
You have to be very gentle.
But 3D touch is actually kind of cool too though, because some of the apps have, you
know, 3D touch special stuff set up.
Yeah, something to explore — especially the Apple apps that build them in.
So let's do that again.
Let's press and hold.
Yep.
Now they're all starting to wiggle.
You can delete apps by tapping the X in the upper left-hand corner of the app icon.
It'll say delete and it'll be gone.
But let's say you want to organize a few of these apps put them into folders.
All right, let's say I want to make a nice little games folder.
8 Ball Pool and Bricks and Balls are both games.
And if I just drag lightly, hold it over the app, and look at that!
We've got a folder.
And Apple is so smart, they've already named it Games.
Oh my gosh!That's not always going to happen.
Sometimes you need to rename it and you can just tap on there, the keyboard shows up,
and you can say, "Fun Games."
Perfect.
Done.
So what do I do now?
Well, we want to show them how to move between each screen, and this is where people get
confused as well, about how to swipe.
So a lot of people... let's just try to drag an app from this Home screen to the next.
Alright.
Let's take Google Chrome.
And we're going to drag it.
Like a pro, David did it again.
You just gotta bring over the edge and hold it there, on the edge, there for a second
and it'll go right.
So what most people would do when they would come to the Apple Store, if you make a mistake,
is they'd just be swiping it off the right-hand side.
So like, they're like, "It doesn't go!"
It's not going.
Yeah, so what's happening?
Can't do that.
Right.
Gotta hold it there on the side, and then it will start to go.
Yeah.
So you can move folders like that, you can move your apps, and after a little bit, you
will have a very organized iPhone.
And you can move your folder over here like this.
What if I want to stick it on the end there, how about that?
Yeah.
What if you want a whole other Home screen with just one app on it?
You can swipe it.
So, you know, you can take the YouTube app and just drag it over here, and it's on it's
own.
A whole screen for YouTube.
Look at that.
So that is how to organize the apps on your iPhone.
I think we covered everything in the video.
Yeah.
It was pretty good.
That's how to do it.
That's how to organize the apps on your iPhone.
Thank you guys for watching.
Leave us a comment down below.
We want to hear how you set up your Home screen, because I have never been a person who takes
a lot of time to set it up.
I just kind of download apps and they just...
Mine is a disaster.
That's why we used David's iPhone.
So if you've got any recommendations for us, we'd be happy to hear them.
