Using Arrange

These pages cover everything you can do with your layout in Arrange, from moving a single app to reorganizing the whole Home Screen by category.

Two things are true everywhere in the app:

  • Nothing changes on your device until you press Apply. Rearrange, undo, and try ideas freely.
  • A backup is saved first. Arrange saves a copy of your layout when it opens it and before every Apply or restore. See Backups and restore.
