Use this simple trick to move the application icons around on your iPhone.

You must be familiar with this screen on your iPhone. With those many app icons and with a potential of 11 pages of icons (maximum 9 pages on pre-OS 3.0 phones) you’ll certainly prefer to move icons around to fit your needs.

It’s very simple to customize the icons on each pages. Just press and hold any icon on your iPhone for couple of seconds. All those icons will start shivering (not out-of-fear but by design).

Move (press and drag) the icons around to where ever you want. You can even move those app icons to other pages also. Exercise extra caution as things might be very sensitive when you move icons and so it might take couple of attempts to get it right.

You must have noticed that there is an “x” mark placed on to the top left of those icons when they are shivering. You must have also noticed that those “x” marks are not on all icons but rather on icons for the apps that you’ve downloaded (custom installed). It doesn’t show those “x” marks on the icons (apps) that comes with the iPhone.

So what does that mean? You must have guessed by now, those “x” marks are meant to delete or uninstall an application from your iPhone.

I’m sure you’ll find customizing your iPhone’s icon layout a very handy feature. Exercise a bit of caution when moving things (icons) around and you’ll be customizing your iPhone icon layout more and more as you download and use as many apps.
