Good morning,


I'm trying to add an app to a folder and it won't go in! When I move the app to the folder the folder moves so I can't drop the app in it.


Please advise, thank you.

iPhone 12, iOS 15

Hello terririan,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

If we understand your post correctly, you're unable to move apps into a folder that you created on your iPhone desktop. We're here to help!


"How to put apps in a folder

If you have a lot of apps, you can put your related apps in folders. Here's how:

  1. To make a folder, drag an app onto another app.
  2. To rename the folder, tap the name field or the Close button , then enter the new name.
  3. Drag apps into the folder. Folders can have more than one page."


Move apps and create folders on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Do you get an error message when trying to move an app into a folder?

Does this happen with all apps or just specific apps?


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Take care!
