Cant get app out of folder

Hi, im running IOS 11.3.1 on a iPhone 8 plus.

I cant get apps out of folders, just between folders. When i drag the app out of folder and tries to drop it on homescreen, it zooms out and drops back in folder.

What can i do?

(I dont want to delete the app or reset iPhone settings)

No, Harabanar, I don't think it's a software fault on your device.

I think it's only a matter of patience... trying again and again. Sometimes it happens to me too.


Do you have "room" in the home screen?... I mean, is there space enough to store a new icon on it?

Should be this case, and you're trying to move an app out of a folder, do it without trying to move it "directly" to the home screen. When it is out of the folder, gently move it to the home screen.
