4 Ways to Declutter Your Home Screen
Delete Unused Apps
If you’re like most people, you probably have at least a few apps that are no longer needed or that are no longer working well. Getting rid of these apps will free up your phone space and help it run more quickly.
If you have an iPhone, you can check your battery’s consumption in the settings area to see how frequently you’ve used various apps over the past week. Installing an app usage tracker like Quality Time on your Android phone will allow you to keep tabs on your usage over the course of a few weeks. Most Android phones also display app usage in the settings if you don’t want to download yet another app.
Create Folders
You can keep everything on your home screen organized by making folders. Depending on your organizational approach, make a lot of folders or go with a small number. You can make folders based on programme type, usage, or any other system that appeals to you. (More to follow on that.) Folders assist in preventing clutter and distraction on your phone. Even organizing time-wasters like Facebook and Instagram into folders works for me. On my phone, it won’t be the first app to open this way.
Move apps with ease
If you’re a habitual app rearranger, take a break and pick up as many apps as possible at once. ..
To move an app:
- Long-press the app you want to move.
- Wait until “jiggle mode” appears.
- Use a different finger to tap other apps you’d like to move while your finger is still holding the active app. They’ll magically affix themselves to the first app you select.
- Choose how many you want, then drag them all to the desired location. ..
Batch-delete apps with Apple Configurator
To delete apps from your iPhone, you will need a Mac or a buddy with a Mac, and Apple Configurator. To do this, you will need to first create an account and select the apps you want to remove. After selecting the apps, you will need to click on the “Remove Selected Apps” button. This will take you to a screen where you can select how many apps you want removed at once. You can also choose to remove all of the selected apps or just some of them. After clicking on the “Remove Selected Apps” button, Apple will start removing the apps from your iPhone. This process may take some time depending on how many applications are selected and how large of an app list they are.
Final Words
How to Declutter Your Home Screen: Folders can be useful if you still want quick access to your apps but find that your home screens already have too many icons. Drag an icon over another icon to form a folder. The icon can be a shortcut to an app or to another object, such as a contact or webpage. If more shortcuts are required, you can add them to the folder. After opening the folder with a tap, tap its name.
