Q: Can't rearrange books on shelf

OK, IOS 9.2, iPhone 6s. Used to be able to drag books into any order I pleased. Now, with this pulse&preview bit when you tap & hold a book, I can't. Any way to get it to behave again?

 

thanks

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.2

    Hello Brett Feinblatt,

     

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

     

    From you question, it sounds like you are unable to touch and hold on the books in iBooks to rearrange them and you may be activating 3D Touch instead. 

     

    3D touch responds to pressure. You can adjust the sensitivity of this setting by using the instructions in the following article. 

     

    Adjust your settings for 3D Touch

    If you have an iPhone 6s or later that isn't responding properly to 3D Touch presses, you can adjust the settings:

    1. Go to Settings > General.
    2. Tap Accessibility > 3D Touch.
    3. Then adjust the sensitivity of the setting.

     

    If the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond to touch - Apple Support

     

    To rearrange books in your iBooks collections, touch and hold a book, then move it where you want it. (You can't rearrange books in the All Books collection.)
