Is it possible to organize my apps in alphabetical order on iPhone?

Coming from an android I am thinking that my iPhone would be smarter, but I can’t find any way to organize all of my apps in alphabetical order. Hopefully somebody has some sort of go around or please don’t tell me I have to do it manually.

This seems like the most basic, obvious feature that any phone should have. I really love my iPhone, but its lack of basic, common sense functionality often boggles my mind.


I would love it if anyone knew how I could view and alphabetical app listing where I can easily delete apps.


The only ways that I've found to even view an alphabetical list is in Settings>Apps or by swiping all the way over on the home screen to where the alphabetical list *should* be (where they are automatically sorted into unhelpful or incorrect folders) and clicking search. One should **OBVIOUSLY** be able to interact with the list to delete them and whatnot, but I cannot figure out how to.


I feel that my iPhone is superior to any of my android devices that I've owned, but after using android for so many years, the iPhone lacks a lot of what feels like basic functionality.

Yep, that is the way. For users that want to see apps alphabetically for access or to delete them, they can do that. The expected way is to Organize your Home Screens for your individual purpose. That can be done by using Folders to store common apps or even to organize your frequently used apps on the first Home Screen, so you are not having to navigate multiple Home Screens just to find the app you want.
