With iOS 14, there are new ways to find and organize the apps on your iPhone — so you see what you want, where you want.

...

Here's how:

Touch and hold an empty area on your Home Screen.
Tap the dots near the bottom of your screen.
Tap the circle under the page that you want to hide.
Tap Done.

I’m not trying to hide anything, I am trying to move an app from the ‘Files’ folder onto the home page or any page that’s not in the files app. The ‘Files’ folder is an Apple folder, it is not a folder I have created and it doesn’t have the same functionality as a folder I would create.

if I do click and hold the app within the files folder I get the following options:

Copy

Delete now

Hi there. Thank you for your message. I’m not sure if my question was clear. I have somehow managed to move an app into the ‘Files’ folder. This is an iPhone folder that has not been created my me. I want to move the app out of the folder.
