On an iPhone the maximum is 4, so first you need to move one back up out of the dock:

> First, hold your finger on one of your dock apps and then drag it up to the home screen

> Next, hold your finger on the app you want to move to the dock and drag it to the dock

> Tap “Done” at top right

Menus instead of action? It seems nearly every time I click on the + to add a new tab, or on the Forward or Reverse buttons, or on apps in the Dock, instead of just doing any of those actions, I get instead a dropdown menu!! I just want the new tab to open, or to go back to the previous one, forward to the next one, or the app I clicked on, to just open!! And sometimes clicking doesn't register, or grabbing the side rails won't move the position of the screen, or scrolling won't happen! I have to do something else, then try again, for it to finally do what I need doing. Why is this happening so often??

If you mean moving more than one icon to the dock of your iPhone; you can't.

The max is 4.

On an iPad you can.
