How do I stop my apps from rearranging themselves when I move one of them.

Just got my first iPhone, it's an iPhone 13, and having trouble with my home screen. Whenever I move a single apps icon, all the other apps icons rearrange themselves. How do I prevent this from happening?


Any help is much appreciated.

iPhone 13, iOS 16

Looked it up and sadly I use photos as my background, hence, why I want to arrange the apps icons a curtain way on the home screen.


Thanks again for the help!

You're welcome.


There are some "ninja tricks" you can use if you want your apps to appear in a certain way on your Home Screen. Maybe you only want apps on the bottom lines - then you can fill spaces you don't want app icons on with blank icons.


Search Google for "blank app icons ios" maybe it can be the solution for you.
