To move icons on the home screen in iOS, you can follow these steps:
- Enter Jiggle Mode: Tap and hold any app icon on your home screen until the icons start to jiggle.
- Move the Icon: Drag the icon to your desired location. You can move it to a different spot on the same screen or drag it to the edge of the screen to move it to a different page.
- Create Folders: If you drag an icon over another icon, a folder will be created. You can then name the folder and add more apps to it.
- Exit Jiggle Mode: Once you have arranged the icons to your liking, tap "Done" in the top right corner (on iPhones with Face ID) or press the Home button (on iPhones with a Home button) to exit jiggle mode.
For more advanced customization, iOS 18 introduces new features that allow app icons and widgets to appear in light, dark, or tinted versions, providing a consistent visual experience across the home screen. This can be particularly useful for maintaining the design intent and legibility of your app icons (Platforms State of the Union).
