“…particularly if you end up hovering over another app just slightly too long and invoking the folder creation process.” This is one of the worst misfeatures I’ve ever seen in any OS, and is totally ADA noncompliant. Is there a way to turn it off or set the hover time to something reasonable? How does Apple manage to perpetuate the myth that their systems are easy to use?
So frustrating moving apps, why it was ever moved as an option in itunes i can’t understand. this was the logical place to keep it, as you sync your phone via itunes.
So true, I don’t understand how Apple makes some things so intuitive and easy and then makes other things so difficult and hard to figure out.
This article is useful, but the author says, “My article has tips for workarounds on this or that,” but that overlooks a serious problem.
You don’t do an overhaul of your iphone screen layout that often, so there is no way you are gonna remember all that stuff. It should either be easy, or it should have a way to do it from iTunes where you could use the power of a computer to do heavy lifting for you.
The best tip on here is to use the dock. Even on an iphone, since you can stack lots in a folder - but God have mercy on your soul as you try to remove things from that folder. It is a disaster honestly.
However, I have 352 apps installed
Having just got a new phone and contemplating the number of apps I have installed.
I have realised two things. First is that a lot of the apps that were there before I upgraded to IOS14 do not work any more. It tells me the developer needs to update them.
Secondly, looking through the apps, I realise that I installed them once thinking they would be handy, but have never used them again.
So maybe it might be worthwhile to spend an afternoon assessing the apps you have?
Sadly it cannot handle newer iPhones. It just says iTunes needs to be upgraded for an iPhone 12.

I guess since iOS14 I noticed an annoying behaviour while moving apps to another screen during ‘jiggle’. If that screen is full and you want to land the app in a certain folder, the first thing that happens is that the last app or folder on that screen is moved to the next screen (‘to make space’?).
It doesn’t come back after you stored the app in the folder.
Moreover, if the next screens are also full, you get a domino effect and thus moving one app leads to the misorganisation of some of your full screens.
Anyone the same experiece and/or solution?
There’s definitely something going on here, though I can’t quite figure out the variables. Sometimes the last app on a full screen comes back after leaving jiggle mode, but other times it doesn’t.
Latest version of Configurator 2 (2.14) works OK with iOS 14.7.1. which I’m glad about because who wants to mess around on the iPhone screen to do this, even with all fancy-schmancy tricks described?
