My iPhone has a tendency to try and REMOVE an app from Home Screen if I hold the phone wrong. Is there a way to LOCK the location and existence of the apps on the Screen.
Not BUTT dialing, but BUTT removing.

Hi there bl-four,
We understand you are looking for a way to lock your Home Screen apps in the way you describe. There isn't a way to do that.
The best place to submit this idea as a feature suggestion at the online official Apple feedback form. Here's the link: Product Feedback - Apple
All the best.
