apps move accidentally, change position or create unwanted folders

i sweat. sometimes the phone will activate the 'move app' function without my knowledge due to this. this results in loss of app, or re-shuffling of screens and content.

is there a way to lock all apps from movement or require a pass code to do so?

iPhone 8

Hi 123cod,


We can help with your iPhone. It seems you're having trouble organizing your screens.


Your iPhone will only allow you to re-order the Home Screen if it's unlocked, therefore a password is required to unlock it.


Try configuring how your iPhone locks here:

Set a passcode on iPhone


If you have an Apple Watch, make sure your Apple Watch is not set to unlock your iPhone automatically.


Let us know more about what's happening and we'll offer advice to keep your iPhone locked.
