Hi Sherry, To my knowledge you cannot move apps with a braille display or Bluetooth keyboard. However, moving apps while being a little bit hit and miss is not so difficult on the touch screen. Let's say you want to move the Reminders app. Find it and then double tap and hold until you heara triple tone and Voiceover will say "Moving Reminders". Now without lifting your finger, drag your finger left, right, up or down on the screen.
It helps a lot to know exactly where your apps are. Your iPhone 5 will have 5 rows of apps and the dock and in each row as well as in the dock are 4 apps. Make sure you visualize where the app you want to move is and where you want to move it to. For example, Reminders maybe in Row 2 and in third place from the left which means second over from the right. Assume you want to move it to the fifth row and you want it at the very left. After you double tap and hold, move straight down slowly and listen to Voiceover telling you where you are. As you cross other apps Voiceover will say "On App Store" or "On Skype" (I am just using these as examples). You want to make sure you don't lift your finger when it says "On" followed by an app name because this would create a folder. Voiceover will also say things like "Row 3, column 2" and that indicates that if you lift your finger at that point, the app you are moving would be in the third row down and in column 2 which is the second position from the left edge. As I said, this requires some practice and it is sometimes easier to move apps in several intervals, e.g. if you start in Row 2 and Column 3 and you want to go to Row 5 and Column 1, move the app straight down until you hear Row 5 Column 3, then let go, now you just have to move the app over 2 spots to the left from column 3 to 1. I find sometimes if I want to put an app on the very left or very right, column 1 or 4, that it's easier to put it in column 2 and then move the app which is to the left of it in column 1 to the right and across the app. This will then cause the app in column 2 to slide left into column 1 here I want it and sometimes that is easier because if you come to close to the edge your app might wrap around to the next home screen instead. Good luck, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sherry Gomes Sent: Monday, August 05, 2013 7:57 AM To: viphone Subject: a pretty basic question about moving apps Hi all, I have an iPhone 5. I'd like to do a couple things. Move apps I most use or of a similar type to various folders. I'd also like, if possible, to change things that are on the dock. I don't use email on my phone or safari or music. I only have a 16 gig phone and way too much music for that. So, I'd like to keep phone ont he dock but move three of my favorite apps there instead. Is it possible to do all this with a braille display? And if so, can someone give me directions or point me to a tutorial on the process? Thanks. Sherry So hold this moment fast, And live and love as hard as you know how, And make this moment last, Because the best of times is now. --La cage aux Folles -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
