How to Move, Group, Download, and Delete apps on Apple devices.


Need some help managing your apps? This may be able to help!

Moving Apps:
Step 1: Hold your finger down on one of the app icons
Step 2: All of the app icons will start shaking and you just hold down the app you want to move, drag it where ever you want to put it, and let go.
Step 3: Continue to move the apps until you have them where you want them.
Step 4: Press the home button and the apps will stop shaking and you can continue doing whatever you wanted to do.

Grouping apps:
Step 1: Hold your finger down on one of the app icons and all of the app icons will start shaking
Step 2: Hold your finger down on whatever app you want to move and drag it on top of the app you want to group it with and let go.
Step 3: Continue adding more apps to that group, or start another group.
Sep 4: Press the home button and the apps will stop shaking and you can continue doing whatever you wanted to do.
Note: You can access the apps in the group by tapping on the group, then tapping on the app you want to use.

Downloading apps:
Step 1: Go to the app store (the app icon will be blue with a white symbol on it)
Step 2: You can search for the app you want to download by tapping the button on the bottom of the screen that has a magnifying glass and the word ‘search’ below it. Or you can see what other people like to download by going to the top 25 most downloaded apps. (Also on the bottom of the screen)
Step 3: After you have found and tapped on the app you want to download, there will be a blue bar next to the app icon. It should say free or the amount of money the app costs. Tap on that bar and it will turn green and say ‘download’. Tap that bar again and there will be a pop up that tells you to enter your apple id. Enter your apple id and hit ok.
Step 4: The app will automatically begin downloading and if you go to your home screen the app you just started downloading will be there with a blue loading bar on it. Once the bar goes away, that means that the app is fully downloaded and you can begin using it.

Deleting apps:
Step 1: Hold your finger down on the app icon and all of the apps will start shaking
Step 2: All of the apps (except the preset ones) will have an x on the top right hand corner, tap on that x and tap ‘delete’ when the pop up asks you if you are sure you want to delete it, hit cancel if you decided not to delete it or if that is the wrong app.
Step 3: Hit the home button and the apps will stop shaking and you can continue doing whatever you wanted to do
Note:  You may want to log out of the social media apps before you delete them or else it will leave you logged in.
