iOS 11: move apps like a pro
With iOS 11, apps can be moved together on the homescreen. Instead of moving each app individually, you can drag multiple apps to a different location at the same time. In this practical tip, we'll tell you how.
iOS 11: move multiple apps at the same time
The new feature has appeared in the preliminary version of iOS 11. It is not yet entirely clear whether Apple will retain the function or remove it until iOS 11 is released.
- Tap and hold an app to activate edit mode.
- Move an app a little way and hold it.
- Now tap all the other apps that you want to move. They accumulate on the app selected first and a counter shows how many apps are being moved.
- Drag the apps to the desired location on the homescreen or in a folder.
- The apps are sorted in the reverse order. The app that you selected first will be arranged at the end.
