只是看着 iPhone 上的主(Home)屏幕，您是否感到头晕目眩？如果您很难找到想要的应用程序，则必须组织它们。这就是文件夹出现的地方。
文件夹不仅允许您根据需要对应用程序进行排序，而且还允许您更快地访问它们。
下面，您将了解在 iPhone 上创建和使用文件夹所需的所有知识，以便您可以有效地管理手机上的应用程序。
为什么你应该在 iPhone 上使用文件夹
默认情况下，您的 iPhone 带有几个预先构建的文件夹（例如 Utilities，它将语音备忘录(Voice Memos)、指南针(Compass)、测量(Measure)等应用程序组合在一起）。但是，您也可以自己创建文件夹。在我们检查如何做到这一点之前，这里有几种在 iOS 上使用它们的实用方法。
按类型对应用程序进行排序(Sort Apps By Type)
文件夹允许您按类型对应用程序进行排序。例如，如果您有多个即时消息应用程序，您可以将它们添加到一个文件夹中。然后，您可以选择文件夹并选择您想要的应用程序，而无需翻遍整个 iPhone。这也可以帮助您大大减少主(Home)屏幕的混乱。
按活动分组应用程序(Group Apps by Activity)
您还可以按活动对应用程序进行分组，而不是按类型对应用程序进行排序。假设(Suppose)您使用一些对您的日常工作或工作流程至关重要的应用程序。您可以将它们分成一个文件夹（或一组文件夹），以便您快速访问它们。
按字母顺序排列它们(Arrange Them Alphabetically)
由于您可以将文件夹重命名为您喜欢的任何名称，因此请不要忽视按字母顺序对应用程序进行分组的想法。这应该可以帮助您本能地找到任何应用程序。您也不必为每个字母创建文件夹——尝试按照ABC、DEF、GHI等方式制作它们。
展开码头(Expand the Dock)
您(Are)是否厌倦了 iPhone 的Dock上只有四个图标？您可以使用文件夹绕过该限制。将您喜欢的应用程序分组(Group)并将它们添加到您的Dock中，无论您在主(Home)屏幕中的哪个位置，都应该能够访问它们。如果您愿意，您可以删除所有四个图标并将它们替换为文件夹。
摆脱分心(Get Rid of Distractions)
如果您的 iPhone 上有很多分散注意力的应用程序（视频游戏、社交媒体应用程序等），只需将它们放入文件夹中即可将它们隐藏起来。这应该可以防止你冲动地打开它们。
如何在 iPhone 上制作新文件夹
您可以在 iPhone 的任何主(Home)屏幕页面上创建文件夹。然而，与桌面设备不同的是，iOS 不提供添加文件夹的“选项”。相反，您必须依赖特定的手势。
1. 点击并按住 iPhone 的空白区域，直到屏幕上的所有内容开始抖动。
2. 轻轻按下一个图标，直到它看起来“粘”在您的手指下。然后，将其直接拖到另一个图标上。
3. 看到第二个图标周围出现半透明轮廓后立即松开手指。然后，您应该会立即在其位置看到一个文件夹。
点击文件夹将其打开——您应该会看到其中的两个应用程序。要退出文件夹，请点击文件夹外的区域。
然后，您可以开始拖入要添加到文件夹的应用程序。您可以根据需要添加任意数量的文件夹，该文件夹将自动继续创建新页面（您可以通过滑动进入）以容纳它们。每个文件夹页面最多可容纳九个应用程序图标。
如何在 iPhone 上更改文件夹名称(Folder Names)
默认情况下，您的 iPhone 会根据您最初用于创建文件夹的两个应用程序的类别自动为每个文件夹分配名称（例如Productivity、Music、Photography等）。(Photography)您可以将其更改为您想要的任何内容。
1. 打开文件夹。
2. 点击并按住文件夹名称开始摇动屏幕。
3. 双击名称以突出显示它。
4. 输入您想要的名称。
5. 点击完成(Done)以保存更改。
如何在 iPhone 上移动文件夹
您可以像在主(Home)屏幕上移动任何其他内容一样在文件夹中移动。进入(Enter)微动模式并将文件夹拖到您想要的位置。
您还可以将文件夹移动到另一个主(Home)屏幕页面 - 将其拖动到屏幕边缘并暂停片刻，您应该会自动进入相邻页面。
如果你想在 iPhone 的Dock中添加一个文件夹，首先将四个图标中的任何一个拖到外面来腾出空间。然后，将文件夹拖放到Dock中。
如何重新排列文件夹内的图标(Icons Inside Folders)
您可以在文件夹中重新排列应用程序，类似于在主(Home)屏幕本身上移动它们。打开文件夹，长按空白区域进入微动模式。然后，按您想要的顺序拖动图标。
如果文件夹中有多个页面，只需将图标拖到相邻页面的角落即可移动到该页面。然后，将其释放到您想要的位置。
如何从iPhone 上的文件夹中删除应用程序(Apps From Folders)
如果您不想再将应用程序保留在文件夹中，可以快速将其删除。为此，请打开文件夹并进入抖动模式。然后，拖动并释放文件夹区域外的图标以摆脱它。
或者，您可以隐藏应用程序而不将其发送到主(Home)屏幕，或者直接将其删除。为此，请长按应用程序图标并选择删除应用程序(Remove App)。然后，选择从主屏幕(Remove from Home screen )删除以将其隐藏或选择删除应用程序(Delete App )以将其删除。如果您选择隐藏应用程序，您可以通过访问应用程序库来访问它(get to it by visiting the App Library)。
如何在 iPhone 上删除文件夹
要删除整个文件夹，您必须将所有应用程序拖出。要加快此过程，请启用微动模式，按住一个应用程序，然后点击每个应用程序图标，让它们在您的手指下堆叠。然后，将它们拖放到文件夹区域之外。
您还可以通过长按并选择Remove Folder > Remove from Home Screen来通过(Remove from Home Screen)主(Home)屏幕本身删除任何文件夹。但是，这会将文件夹中的所有应用程序隐藏起来，因此您必须访问应用程序库(App Library)才能找到它们。
如何在 iPhone 上重置主屏幕
您可以一次删除主屏幕上的所有文件夹，然后(Home)通过重置主(Home)屏幕重新开始。
1. 打开 iPhone 上的设置(Settings )应用程序。
2. 点击常规(General)。
3. 向下滚动并点击重置(Reset)。
4. 点击重置主屏幕布局(Reset Home Screen Layout)。
5. 点击重置主屏幕(Reset Home Screen)进行确认。

How to Make Folders and Organize Apps on iPhone
Do yоu fеel dizzy just looking at the Home screen on your iPhone? If you have a hard time getting to the apps you want, it’s esѕential to organize them. That’s where folders come into the picture.
Not only do folders allow you to sort your apps however you want, but they also allow you to get to them faster.
Below, you’ll learn everything you need to know to make and use folders on iPhone so that you can manage the apps on your phone effectively.
Why You Should Use Folders on iPhone
By default, your iPhone comes with several pre-built folders (such as Utilities, which groups together apps like Voice Memos, Compass, Measure, etc.). But, you can also create folders yourself. Before we check out how to do that, here are several practical ways to use them on iOS.
Sort Apps By Type
Folders allow you to sort apps by type. For example, if you have multiple instant messaging apps, you can add them to a single folder. You can then select the folder and pick the app you want without rummaging through the entire iPhone. That also helps you cut down Home screen clutter by a lot.
Group Apps by Activity
Rather than sorting apps by type, you can also group them by activity. Suppose you use a handful of apps that are essential to your daily routine or workflow. You can separate them into a folder (or a set of folders), allowing you to get to them quickly.
Arrange Them Alphabetically
Since you can rename folders to whatever you like, don’t dismiss the idea of grouping apps alphabetically. That should help you locate any app instinctively. You don’t have to create folders for each letter either—try making them something along the lines of A-B-C, D-E-F, G-H-I, and so on.
Expand the Dock
Are you fed up of being stuck with just four icons on the iPhone’s Dock? You can get around that limitation with a folder. Group your favorite apps and add them to your Dock, and you should be able to access them no matter where you are within the Home screen. If you like, you can remove all four icons and replace them with folders instead.
Get Rid of Distractions
If you have lots of distractive apps on your iPhone (video games, social media apps, etc.), just chuck them into a folder to hide them from view. That should prevent you from opening them impulsively.
How to Make New Folders on iPhone
You can create a folder on any Home screen page on your iPhone. Unlike on desktop devices, however, iOS does not provide an “option” to add folders. Instead, you must rely on a specific gesture.
1. Tap and hold a vacant area of the iPhone until everything on the screen starts to jiggle.
2. Press on an icon slightly until it appears to “stick” under your finger. Then, drag it directly over to another icon.
3. Release your finger as soon as you see a translucent outline around the second icon. You should then see a folder in its place instantly.
Tap the folder to open it—you should see the two apps inside it. To exit the folder, tap on an area outside it.
You can then start dragging in the apps that you want to add to the folder. You can add as many as you want, and the folder will automatically keep creating new pages (which you can swipe across to get to) to accommodate them. Each folder page can hold up to nine app icons.
How to Change Folder Names on iPhone
By default, your iPhone automatically assigns names to each folder (such as Productivity, Music, Photography, etc.) based on the category of the two apps you initially use to create them. You can change that to anything you want.
1. Open the folder.
2. Tap and hold the folder name to start jiggling the screen.
3. Double-tap the name to highlight it.
4. Type in the name that you want.
5. Tap Done to save the changes.
How to Move Folders on iPhone
You can move around a folder just like you’d anything else on the Home screen. Enter jiggle mode and drag the folder into the position you want.
You can also move a folder to another Home screen page—drag it to the edge of the screen and pause for a moment, and you should automatically enter the adjacent page.
If you want to add a folder to the iPhone’s Dock, first make room by dragging any of the four icons outside. Then, drag and drop the folder into the Dock.
How to Rearrange Icons Inside Folders
You can rearrange apps within a folder, similar to moving them around on the Home screen itself. Open the folder and long-press a vacant area to enter jiggle mode. Then, drag the icons in the order that you want.
If there are multiple pages in a folder, just drag an icon to the corner of an adjacent page to move over to it. Then, release it in the location you want.
How to Remove Apps From Folders on iPhone
If you don’t want to keep an app inside a folder anymore, you can remove it quickly. To do that, open the folder and enter jiggle mode. Then, drag and release the icon outside the folder area to get rid of it.
Alternatively, you can hide an app without sending it to the Home screen or just delete it outright. To do that, long-press an app icon and select Remove App. Then, select Remove from Home screen to hide it or Delete App to delete it. If you chose to hide the app, you could get to it by visiting the App Library.
How to Delete Folders on iPhone
To delete an entire folder, you must drag all apps out of it. To make the process faster, enable jiggle mode, press and hold an app, and then tap each app icon to make them stack under your finger. Then, drag and drop them outside the folder area.
You can also delete any folder via the Home screen itself by long-pressing and selecting Remove Folder > Remove from Home Screen. However, that will hide all apps inside the folder, so you must visit the App Library to get to them.
How to Reset Home Screen on iPhone
You can get rid of all folders on the Home screen at once and start all over by resetting the Home screen.
1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Tap General.
3. Scroll down and tap Reset.
4. Tap Reset Home Screen Layout.
5. Tap Reset Home Screen to confirm.
