Can I move iOS apps (to different folders) from my macOS desktop device?

About to buy a new iPhone; so want to tidy up the apps - and their parent folders - before transferring everything.


I have several parent folders on my iPhone where the apps are 'spreading out' over three screens… e.g. my 16 (iOS) audio apps could be condensed to 9 + 7 (instead of 8 + 5 + 3 as they are now).


My fat fingers and less than perfect eyesight would find it easier to do that (and rename some; and delete some; and move some to other folders altogether) if I would use the mouse and drag-and-drop from macOS (13.7.1) on my iMac.


I hoped that iMazing 3 could do that; but apparently not.


Anyone know, please, of another reliable macOS app which can 'control' the iPhone('s apps) in that way?


Many thanks in advance…

iMac Pro, macOS 13.7

I did look briefly at Mirroring, but couldn't get it to work. Could that be because I'm still on macOS 13.7 and iOS 16.7… waiting to upgrade in both cases!

Yes, you need a Mac which is running MacOS Sequoia 15 or higher and an IPhone which is running iOS 18 or higher.
