Donald said he is using iOS 10, hence he can use the much easier way to move apps and create folders which was introduced in that version. Donald, I will describe a scenario in which I am only using the top 2 rows of the first home screen with the following 4 apps: Row 1: Calculator, Compass, Clock and Camera Row 2: App Store, Messages, Settings and Music Let's say I touch near the top and end up touching the Compass app, second from the left in the top row. Voiceover will say "Compass" and you may have noticed that in iOS 10, Voiceover also says "Actions available" after a short pause. This means that you can swipe up or down with one finger to hear other choices, in this case it does not matter if you swipe up or down as there are only two options and it wraps around . By default, the "action" which happens when you do a double tap is called "Activate" and it opens the app. Since Voiceover has focus on this action, when you swipe up or down you will first hear "Arrange Apps", if you swipe down a second time or up it will go back to "Activate, default", as you can see (hear) Voiceover indicates that this is the default action. OK, as you probably guessed, instead of "activate" which means opening the app, you want to swipe to "Arrange Apps" and then do a double tap. Let's assume I want to make a folder which contains both the Compass and Calculator app. I can touch or swipe to either one to start, let's say I go to Compass. Now after Voiceover says "Compass I swipe down with one finger and when Voiceover says "Arrange Apps" I double tap. Voiceover will say "Arranging Apps" I can now double tap again immediately without doing any swipes because "Move" is the default here. If I double tap a second time Voiceover will say "Choose a destination for Compass". I know that Calculator is at the very top left, so one spot to the left of Compass and I can simply swipe left once to put focus on Calculator, Voiceover will say "Calculator is editing". Now I again use the swipe down gesture with one finger, but now I have 5 options, they are as follows: 1. Activate - if you double tap this while in "editing mode" you will be asked if you want to delete the app. 2. Cancel move of Compass - this will, as you guessed, cancel the operation. 3. Create new folder with Calculator and Compass - this is where you want to double tap to create a folder which then contains both apps. Mostly folders are automatically labelled based on the app type, in this case it would probably be called "Utilities". 4. Place Compass before Calculator - this is where you double tap if you want to put the Compass before (to the left) of the Calculator app. 5. Place Compass after Calculator - this is where you double tap if you want to put the Compass after (to the right) of the Calculator app, in this case this wouldn't make sense because it is already in that position.
Once you selected the option you wanted you can simply press the home button to get out of editing mode and you can now check out your home screen. If we used option 3, create a folder, the folder would now be at the very top left, then there would be the 2 other apps which were in row 1 and the last app would now be the first app from row 2 because of course the folder which is a single icon now contains two apps so one up moves up from underneath to the right of row 1, here is what it would look like: Row 1: Utilities folder, Clock, Camera and App Store Row 2:Messages, Settings and Music Give it a try, it's super easy to do. Here a few more pointers: If you want to move an app that is one home screen 2 to home screen 1, just go to that app first, start the moving operation as described above, once it says "Select a destination", use either a 3-finger swipe from left to right to go back to the first home page or find the picker control at the bottom above the dock and flick it with one finger to the page where you want to be. Once you are on that page, touch or swipe to the app where you want to create the folder or place the other app, then select the appropriate option (create folder, place before or place after). If you have an app in a folder and you want to move it out of that folder, you would open the folder, put focus on the app and start the moving operation. However, normally you press the home button to close a folder which of course you can't do here because this would cancel the operation. Instead either use the scrub gesture to back out of the folder (a z-type gesture with 2 fingers) or flick down your list of options, if you are inside a folder one option is "Close folder", double tap on that and the folder will close, you can then go to where you want the app and select the desired option to place it or create a new folder.
