About creation of folder by dragging one app to another

[hajime]

Hello, I have a few questions about this. Usually when I drag the icon of one app to another, a new folder is created with a name. How iOS determines the name of such folder? How can I change the name of such folder? Is there a 1-2 step click to move all the apps out of such folder?

Again, why don’t you call Apple for tech support or just read their site for the basics? You’d get good help there!

iOS determines the folder name based on app category. You can change the name when you enter wiggle mode and tap a folder. Unfortunately, there is no bulk move. You must move one app at a time until no app is in that folder, another oversight from Apple. (followed by rant)

Can’t you just long press an icon to get into wiggle mode then without lifting that finger start tapping other icons to grab more than one? Works for me.

Yes this is the process of moving multiple apps at the same time. Not everyone’s aware of that though.

It is working. Thanks.

Oh yeah. This is a recently added feature of bulk move. Forgot it completely.
