Yep, I saw Sieghard's post and followed the tutorials on AppleVis.com,
but this only let's me move icons before or after icons I already have
on the home page. I can't move an icon to the right most blank space at
the end of an empty row since there are no icons to move to where I can
place the new icon before or after.

Here is what Siegard sent me when I first got my iPhone, could be this is what
you are needing:
•
• Moving Contacts or Apps – from Siegard on list
•
• 1. When on an app or contact to move, you want to move is to swipe down
or up with one finger where Voiceover says “Editing Mode.”
• 2. Then double tap, Voiceover says “started editing”. This basically
replaces the double tap and hold.
• 3. Next swipe down twice to “drag” followed by the name of the contact
or app you want to move and double tap.
• 4. Now go to where you want to put the contact or app whether it’s in a
different position on the home screen, a different home screen or a folder.
• 5. Put focus on the contact, folder or another app and swipe down
again, you now have the following options:
• 6. Drop contact/App Name before contact/AppName (or FolderName) (the
first contact/AppName is the app you are dragging.
• 7 The second is the contact/app or folder you are on.
• 8. Swipe down again and you have Drop AppName after whatever
contact/app or folder you are on
• 9. Swipe down again and if you put focus on a contact or folder you
hear “Drop AppName in whatever folder you are on.
•
• Whichever option you want to do, drop before, drop after or drop in a
folder, just double tap when you get there and that’s it.
When I got this, I did manage to get Contacts at the very top, but as I am
trying before sending this, I am having a time of it moving Camera down to
where I moved Photos, when I moved Contacts to the top and mail over to where
Contacts had been.
Anyway, it can be done on the iPhone too. When I got mine, I had concerns about
that, because I did know it could be done on an Android.
Best regards,
Carolyn

Subject: RE: Moving an icon to a specific place on the home screen
I usually also like to keep apps I use a whole lot along an edge, but
personally I don't care that much if it's at the top left or the bottom right
etc.
Anyways, I am 99.9% sure you couldn't just put, for example, 4 apps on a home
screen and have them just in the top left and right and bottom left and right
corners. I have never come across a way to leave a blank space or line and
never heard of one.
As for quickly opening apps, yes, there is of course SIRI and if you know
handwriting it is also a great way to get to an app relatively quickly and
easily. It does involve one turn of the rotor when you touch the home screen
and then of course a quick draw of a letter or two and, depending if that still
results in more than one entry, you may have to flick down with 2 fingers until
you find the app you want.
Regards,
Sieghard

Are used to care more about how my abs were organized, keeping them in folders
etc. so I knew more or less where they all were. I still do that to some
extent. But since Siri can launch any app I want, and I think you can do that
on your android as well, for me, placement of apps is way less important than
it used to be.

Thanks Mary. If he knows how to do it, I'd like to know. I asked him on the
other list how to do it, but I haven't heard back from him yet. I get that it
wouldn't be a big deal for some, but as I said, on Android I've developed some
ways of organizing my apps,using the corners and edges, to quickly find my most
commonly used apps, and I'd like to get this same kind of efficiency on my
iPhone. I doubt it would be a deal breaker for me, but I would find it
frustrating.

I don’t think he quite understood what you wanted to do. I sent David a private
message, because as far as I know, if I understand what you want to do, you
can’t do it with iOS. You can’t arbitrarily leave blank spaces in the middle of
the screen. You can’t drop something around which are blank spaces. If you can,
I don’t know how to do it. And I don’t think I’m missing. For me, this is a
total no biggie. But if it’s a big deal for you, OK.

Thanks Sieghard, but on another list David Tanner told me this is easy to do
and I just don't know as much about IOS as I should. I know he's right about my
ignorance, and I hope he's right about moving icons on the screen too, but he
didn't give me the steps to make this happen. I've asked on this list and
looked on AppleVis.com, and I just can't find it or figure it out.
I do this on my Android phone because I find it's easiest to find apps in the
corners and along the edges. I'm thinking my next phone might be an iPhone, and
it would be really frustrating for me if I can't organize my home page the way
I want. If anyone else has any pointers, please share!

You can't, if, for example, you only have 2 rows of icons on a home page you
can't put anything in row 4, it will always go behind whatever your last icon
is.

Subject: Moving an icon to a specific place on the home screen
I'd like to move an icon on a home page to the bottom row of the page right
above the dock, but I can't figure out how to do it. I don't currently have any
icons in the lower half of this home page, so using the options in the edit
menu, such as move after another icon, won't get this icon down there. I've
tried going into edit mode and doing a a double tap and hold and then moving to
the place on the screen where I want to place the icon, but lifting my finger
results in no change. I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but if anyone can
tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'd appreciate it!
