Here’s another tip on moving apps across pages. When you find the app you want to move, double-tap and hold in the middle of the screen or wherever you feel comfortable so you’ve got enough screen space to move to the edge and switch pages. Remember that VO will remember the position of the last item you tapped on, so if you have an app on the edge you’d like to move to another page, this may be an easier method to give yourself some runway. I find that moving an app on he far left or right of the screen tends to just hold it there. Also, wait for the little beep that sounds after VO announces it has made a new folder. if it’s helpful, remember too that icons are laid out on the home screen in a grid, unlike a Windows or Mac laptop where icons can be dragged to any location.
