OK, I'm not too proud to admit that I'm a relatively new iPhone user and
I'm struggling with the way you move items around on your home screen.
You know, I consider myself reasonably intelligent. I've been working
with a.t. for over 20 years and I like to think that I pick up on things
very quickly but I find this issue of moving files and folders extremely
haphazard and unintuitive.
I have learned to successfully move a program into a folder but here are
my questions.
1. M I to believe that the way you create a folder is to move one app
onto a similar app in order for a folder to be created?
2. The names of the folders it creates by default almost seem random to
me. How on earth does iOS determine the default name for a folder? I
do see a kind of logic to it but ... as an example, i accidentally moved
an app onto the Kindle app and it created a folder called Books. OK,
move something onto Kindle and iOS calls it Books ... I think I see that
logic but the whole process just seems like a lot of guesswork. There's
no menu where I can just say "create new folder."
3. What's the best way to move a folder located on page 2 of my home
screen onto page 1?
I have done very well in learning everything else that I need to learn
and, for the most part, I find the touch interface of iOS easy and
intuitive except for this business with dragging things onto other
things to create folders. I really hope Apple is able to provide a more
intuitive interface for this in a future version of iOS. If there is an
easier way of doing this, please let me know. Please, don't be afraid to
answer these questions in simple language; explain it to me like I'm a
four-year-old ...
