I can't ungroup apps in my iPhone…

Hi there. Despite following all the usual instructions, I’m unable to ungroup apps on my iPhone. I can drag an app out of its folder, but it simply won’t reposition on the screen and just jumps back into the folder when I let go. Can’t believe I’m the only person with this issue? Would love any advice anyone can give. Many thanks!

iPhone 11 Pro Max

Have you checked Settings>Screen Time? Try turning it off and see if that makes a difference. Also, try moving the folder to an empty screen and then try dragging things out of it. Maybe there's not enough room on the screen?


Another thought. There used to be a maximum number of apps you could display. If you had more than that, you could still access them through Search but you couldn't see the icons. I don't know if that's still true and don't remember what the limits are.
