- How To Rearrange Apps
Apr 16, 2010 I know that the apps in the iPad can be rearranged by touching them until they start to jiggle. Then they can be dragged around and even moved to another screen. My problem is that sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't!! Currently, I can move around apps within one screen, but I cannot, for the life of me, drag them to a different screen.

This article explains how you can fix when you are unable to move or organize your apps on the Home Screen. You can reorganize your home screen easily. Simply touch and hold an app until it jiggles, and then move it to another location. If you are unhappy about your reorganization, do not worry, you can reset your Home Screen by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout. Doing so will move and reset your apps to their original layout. Doing so will further remove all apps from folders and put them in alphabetical order on the Home Screen.

The best Mac apps for 2020 By Mark Coppock June 19, 2020 6:00PM PST If you’ve heard the phrase, “Once you go Mac, you never go back,” you know it holds true. For most of the iPhone's history, rearranging apps has been a giant pain. On the surface, iOS 13 seems to make things worse — with the new long-press gestures, it takes longer for iOS to know you want to move apps around. That might be true, but iOS 13 also introduced a way to make the process so much faster.
- unable to move apps

Fix:
Please try each step until your issue is resolved:
1. It is possible that you might have pressed it too firm on the Home Screen. If your 3D setting is enabled, you may see Quick Actions for the app. If this is the case, simply tap “Rearrange Apps” from the Quick Actions menu.

What you should do is that you should not apply any pressure when you touch an app. Just touch and hold lightly and you will see that your apps are jiggling.
You may also want to disable 3D Touch (if applicable to your iPhone). Here is how:
- Tap Settings > General > Accessibility
- Tap Touch and 3D & Haptic Touch
- And turn 3D Touch off.
2. When touching and holding an app, it may not jiggle if you have Zoom on. Here is how you can disable this:

3. Restart your iPhone or iPad. Here is how:
- On your iOS device, press and hold the on/off (side or top) button until you see the power off slider. Then slide the slider. If your device is running iOS 12 or later, you can turn off your device by going to Settings > General > scroll down and tap Shut Down. When your device is off, press and hold the on/off buton until your device starts.

How To Rearrange Apps
I know that the apps in the iPad can be rearranged by touching them until they start to jiggle. Then they can be dragged around and even moved to another screen. My problem is that sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't!!
Currently, I can move around apps within one screen, but I cannot, for the life of me, drag them to a different screen. I get to the edge and they just spring back. I can move an app to the dock, change screens, and then move it to that screen, but I can't just slide an app to a different screen. I know it works because I've done it. But at the moment, it doesn't work.
What am I doing wrong? Is it me or is it the iPad?
Thanks!
