Unable to stop my apps from shaking with a minus (-) sign

It sounds like you're experiencing the common issue of app icons shaking on your iPhone's home screen, indicating that they are ready to be deleted or moved. Here's how you can fix this:

1. Try Restarting Your Device: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve minor software glitches. Press and hold the power button until you see the slider appear. Then, slide it to power off your device. Wait a few moments, then press and hold the power button again to turn it back on.
2. Check for Pending Updates: Ensure that your Mail app and your iOS software are up to date. Sometimes, outdated software can cause unexpected behavior. To update your apps, open the App Store, go to the "Updates" tab, and install any available updates. To update your iOS software, go to Settings > General > Software Update.
3. Reset Home Screen Layout: This action will reset your home screen to its default layout but won't delete any of your apps or data. To do this, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout. Confirm the action, and your home screen should reset.
4. Disable "Edit Home Screen" Mode: If your device is stuck in edit mode, where you can rearrange or delete apps, exit this mode by pressing the home button (for devices with a physical home button) or swiping up from the bottom of the screen (for devices without a home button).
5. Force Restart: If the issue persists, try force-restarting your device. The method for force-restarting varies depending on your iPhone model. You can find instructions for your specific model on the Apple website.

Tap anywhere on the screen where there is no other app, or swipe up from the bottom of the screen.

Try this. Tap the "-" icon. You'll be offered to remove the app from the home screen. It won't delete it but move it to the App Library. Then go to the App Library and move it back to your home screen.

Yes, a "Cancel" option is offered but, if you tap it, the icons still giggle (at least when you are in Edit mode and all the icons are giggling ).

My understanding is that the OP has only one icon giggling. Moving it to the App Library could be an option.

AI suggestion 3 is the nuclear option. If you do it you will regret for the rest of your life, as it undoes all of the careful arrangement of apps and folders that you have set up. And is absolutely UNNECESSARY to solve this issue.

Actually, if you tap the “-“ one of the options will be to Cancel.

Hello~ Finding this is some of their other posts as well.

I’ve also seen others with spam links like this one had. But I notice the moderator caught it.

Hello again ~ Maybe with a little pointing out. Also seems to be fond of pointing towards third party repair shops who reportedly use “genuine Apple parts”
