You cannot. A new home screen cannot be blank, it needs to have at least one app on it.


To do that, tap and hold on an app icon until they start to jiggle. Then drag the icon to the edge of the screen and wait a second, you'll be taken to a new home screen, where you can let go of the app.

I agree, this should be possible ON THE IPHONE/ TABLET...


For example, to insert a page to the right; Long / force press the (right) edge of the page / screen of your device with your right thumb that you want to insert a blank page. While continuing to force press the right side of the screen, swipe the screen to the left. Maybe use 2 finger to prevent accidental page inserts. Anyway Apple geniuses, ‘bout time you figured this one out.

Use iTunes. Go to the apps tab on the sidebar once you are viewing your phone. On the right-hand side you can see the home screens on your iPad. Click the + to create a new screen, and then drag it to where you want. This will allow you a new page to drag apps to, either using iTunes or the iPad. You must sync to make us take effect. Since Apple says that only the first page can be entirely blank, I'm not sure what will happen if you try to leave it blank.
