If you’re like most people, you probably have an iPhone app library that’s filled with apps you’ve downloaded from the App Store. But if you want to move some of your favorite apps to a home screen on your iPhone, there are a few steps you can take. First, open the App Store on your iPhone and find the app you want to move. Then tap on the “Move” button at the bottom of the screen. Next, select which folders or files you want to copy the apps into. You can choose to copy all of the apps in one folder or just a few of them. Finally, choose how many homescreen slots you want to give each app. If you only want to move a few apps, then just select “Just a Few.” When finished moving the apps, tap on “Done.”
Start by swiping over to the right-most home screen on your iPhone to open the App Library. Here, locate an app that isn’t already on your home screen. Long-press on the app’s icon until a menu pops up.
Tap the “Add to Home Screen” button from the context menu.
The application will be moved and placed on your home screen automatically.
Heading back into the App Library, if an app is already on one of your home screens (visible or hidden), the “Add to Home Screen” option won’t appear in the context menu. Instead, you’ll have to enter Jiggle mode.

Locate an app in your iPhone’s App Library that’s already on your home screen. Long-press on the app’s icon. After a second, a context menu will appear. Continue holding down on the app until it appears on your home screen.
As mentioned above, going this route will activate Jiggle mode (where your apps and folders will bounce around on your screen). Hold down on your app and place it wherever you like on your iPhone. Tap the “Done” button in the top-right corner when you’re finished moving the app.
If you can’t find a specific app in one of the App Library’s automatically-generated folders, you can tap on the search bar to locate the application.
Use the alphabetical list to find an app. Next, long-press on the listing until it’s highlighted. The block will look like it’s hovering above the rest of the menu when properly selected.
Without lifting your finger, move it to the left or right. You will be immediately shifted to your home screen, with Jiggle mode enabled.
As before, place the app wherever you like on your home screen or drop it in a folder. Tap the “Done” button in the top-right corner when you’re finished reorganizing your layout.
