This trick lets you sort apps on your iPhone home screen from most to least used
Organizing the iPhone home screen is an extremely personal thing. Some people have their most used apps at the bottom, others organize them by folders, others have a completely random order, and even those who organize all the iPhone apps alphabetically. This time, we bring you a new way to do it: Sort iPhone Home Screen Apps by Usage what you make of them.
Although this is not a function that the iPhone officially provides, you can use a little trick to achieve it. And that trick is the Siri Suggestions WidgetThis is just one of the many widgets that we have available in iOS, but it will allow us to have the apps on the home screen organized from most to least used.
Sort apps based on your usage patterns
The Siri Suggestions widget has several options and one of them is Displays apps in an order based on our usage patterns. This allows us to sort the apps, basically, from most used to least usedalthough we only recommend having one apps page that can hold 24 apps. Here’s what you need to do:
- Long press on the iPhone screen and tap Edit at the top left.
- Tap Add Widget and then search for Siri.
- Tap Siri Suggestions and tap Add Widget under the App Suggestions widget.
- Places the widget on a new page on the home screen.
- Repeat the process twice to have up to 3 widgets on your home screen.
- Don’t worry if you see duplicate apps, swipe to the side and when you come back, different apps will appear.
- Now hold down the screen, tap on the dots below and move this screen to the beginning.
There are colors for all tastes, and this is it A very original way to organize applications on the home screen of our iPhoneIt is true that the apps will not always be placed in the same place, which may not please many users, but others prefer this way of organizing them. A way that is also compatible with many others, since the app icons will appear duplicated, one in the Siri widget and another in its original position.
Of course, you can also add just one widget to keep track of the 8 most used apps. Keep in mind that This Siri suggested apps widget also appears when you swipe down on the home screenshowing the 4 most used apps in the last few days and being able to show up to 8 apps in total.
In iOS 18, in addition, we can also leave a space in the middle between widgetsso we can place two of these widgets, one above and one below, or place it next to other apps leaving various spaces. The customization options are endless, so anyone can have a completely personal home screen.
