If you have (too) many apps installed on your iPhone, you can create folders for them and manage the apps clearly. We'll show you how it's done.
iPhone: Store and manage apps in folders
- To create a folder, you first need two apps that are to be packed into a folder.
- Hold your finger on one app so that after about two seconds all apps start to wiggle.
- Now drag the app over the other app and hold it again for about two seconds. You can then lift your finger off the display. Both apps then disappear in a new folder.
- At the top you can give the folder a suitable name - "Games", "Utilities" or "Private" for example.
- Using the same principle, you can now create additional folders or drag other apps into the folders. The folders can also be arranged as you like on your iPhone.
- Press the home button, the apps stop shaking and the editing mode is ended.
- By the way, since iOS 7 you can put as many apps in the folder as you want - the maximum limit of previous iOS versions has been lifted.
This practical tip shows you how to hide iPhone apps without a jailbreak.
