But I’m willing to be convinced otherwise. I’m pretty sure my way’s the only sensible way to arrange icons. Maybe I’ll bust out Reigns or Corrypt again, one day. Sometimes you just know when you’re done with a game, but you don’t want to remove it from your phone, you know? That’s where these games go to hibernate. There’s also the only other rule-breaking I have: a folder for “old games”. When enabled, tap and holding an icon on your. Others, such as the World of Warcraft companion app (I don’t play the game anymore) or taxi app Gett (I don’t take many taxis) I think I should probably delete. The IconLock tweak provides the basic functionality for preventing the rearrangement of icons on your home screen. Some, such as Swiftkey or the Wallet app, are still useful but just opened in other ways. It also reveals quite how many apps I have that I have never clicked on. It’s the only way to avoid having 40 pages of apps, and it works fairly well. Here everything goes in folders, and moves one folder forward each time I tap on it. There, you’ll find a few of the apps I use regularly, but not by any means daily, as well as some, such as secure chat app Wire, which I’ve only started using recently but are climbing up the charts.īy the third page, I break my rules. I’m surprised I still use Snapchat enough for it to be so high up, and Health is slowly falling down the list now I stopped manually logging my weight – who has time for that – but the screen is a fairly accurate cross-section of what I use my phone for. Tap Rename, type the name, then tap Done. Tap and hold the application icon you want to move, drag it to its new position, then lift your finger. The Settings icon changes to a checkmark. To name the folder, touch and hold the folder until the quick actions menu appears. After getting the icons to jiggle, select one of the apps you want to move, but instead of dragging it to the edge of the screen, just move it slightly out of place. Tap the Apps tab (if necessary), then tap Settings at the top right of the tab bar. The rest of the first page is largely understandable. To make a folder, touch and hold an app until the apps jiggle. I don’t even bother to put Duolingo past it anymore. Duolingo has the advantage of being opened every single day without fail, RSS app Reeder gets opened at least twice on weekdays, and Twitter is … well, Twitter is Twitter. The dock barely changes at this point, although WhatsApp occasionally fights Spotify for dominance.
