How do I prevent apps from jumping to other apps on iPhone when shaking?

Some apps will jump to other apps if you shake them slightly when they are on the ad page. This feature is terrible. This will affect my determination to continue using Apple phones.

Two apps on Home Screen, one on top of the other Why do I have two app icons on my Home Screen, one on top of the other? I can only see this because the one behind is shaking, as the apps do when you press and hold an app to move them around. Does anyone have this same problem?

Some open apps flash then disappear when swiping up. Can’t close them. Any fix for this yet? Been happening for 3 months. Does Apple care about this? In landscape orientation, when I swipe up from the bottom of the Ipad to show open apps, the grid of apps will have blank spots where apps should be (and they are there but you cannot see them but for a split second), nor can you swipe them up to close them. And when I swipe up to close the ones that are visible I cannot get back to my homescreen without swiping down from the top, then up from the bottom. This is definitely a bug of some sort. And it is basically a brand new Ipad. I’ve tried everything, nothing has worked.

Really not understanding what you are experiencing.

What apps "jump?"

What ad page?

Why are you shaking the device?
