With an iPhone, you always have access to all of your important documents, wherever you are. Keeping your files organized makes it easy to find that PDF receipt you need or those videos you enjoy watching later.
Most people have dozens of apps on their iPhones, some of which they use daily, while others are only useful occasionally although they aren’t willing to delete them. If you are one of those who prefer to be more organized, having an abundance of downloaded apps can be a hassle.
Fortunately, your iPhone apps can be organized into folders. The process of creating folders is quick and easy and takes only a few seconds. Keeping your apps organized can also be made easier by naming your folders. This article explains how to create folders on iPhone.
The following information will help you.
How to create folders on iPhone?
- You can create a folder by holding the icon of the first app you wish to move into a folder until all the icons in your applications begin to shake and the upper left corner of the screen shows a small X.
- If you would like to place another app in the same folder, press and hold down the app icon again. Floating one application icon over another will create a folder. Dropping both apps into your new folder is as easy as holding down the application icons.
- It should be noted that the iPhone will automatically title the folder based on the applications it contains. When two banking apps are placed within the same folder, the folder will be called “Banking Folder”.
