Apps are the heartbeat of any mobile operating system, including iOS. All of the functions on iPhones are app-based. Whether you make calls, send messages, receive email, use social media, or simply want a reminder, you need an app to perform the any of the phone’s intended functions. iPhone users who often download apps may notice that the more apps you install, the more time you need to locate specific apps.

An organized iPhone helps with your productivity, and one way of organizing your phone is by moving apps to the place where you can easily spot and access them.
