How do I rearrange app icons on iPhone 7?
When I press and hold the app icon now I get a context menu. That's super handy. That also used to be how I rearrange and delete apps. How do I rearrange apps now?
The trick lies in how long you press and hold. A "soft", sustained press usually brings up the delete 'X' and gets the icons shaking with excitement. A "hard" sustained press usually brings up the context menu. Complicating things is that the hard sustained press takes a second or two to produce the context menu; the soft, sustained press takes a second or less to go into delete mode.
Is the hard and soft, the force of the press, really the determining factor? Well, I calls 'em like I sees 'em: It does seem so to me, but learning to get it right has been frustrating, and it still seems to be luck-of-the-draw when it works, but in my experience, the force of the press, and the duration, seem to make the difference.
