True, I could use Siri or handwriting mode, but it's just so convenient
to just touch the corner of my screen and double tap to launch my most
frequently used app. There is Google Assistant on Android, which will
perform the same function on Android, and you could also use Bixby if
you have a Samsung phone.

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.

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!
